SUMMARY:The Quest For Perfect Data is a Fool's Errand 
DESCRIPTION:Organizations are not getting more efficient despite gathering more and more data. \nBABC Texas members Garner and BJSS believe there are two core reasons why efficiency is not improving. \n1. The misguided myth that only perfect data will reveal the truth. Businesses are searching under couch cushions for every byte of data\, polishing red herrings and expecting to catch white whales. \n2. The mischaracterization of organizations as machines. In reality\, every business unit operates as a human community. \nJoin Mark Childerson\, Product Manager\, Garner and Mitch Hollander\, Data Engineer\, BJSS as they provide a better understanding of how to operate a data-driven community — or at least how not to. \nRegister via the link below. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Creating Long-Term Impact and Driving Business Transformation through Diverse\, Ethical & Sustainable Supply Chains 
DESCRIPTION:upply chains are the core of organization-wide sustainability goals and commitments – in many cases\, more than 90% of an organization’s greenhouse gas emissions\, and 50% – 70% of operating costs are attributable to supply chains. With the SEC’s proposed climate rules\, companies will have to improve their ESG reporting (including Scope 1\, 2 & 3) and consider the social impact a diverse and innovative supply chain can have on growth and economic strength as well as the opportunities it can create for communities. \nWhilst it is crucial to work with sustainable suppliers\, it is important for companies to be accountable for seeking out and implementing diverse and innovative supply chains which generates opportunities to drive growth\, ensures competitive access\, represents client and customer viewpoints and creates economic impact for their own business and for the diverse suppliers and community. \nBAB has brought together an expert panel to explore the key areas that influence a diverse and impactful supply chain and what companies can do to ensure long-term growth\, develop collaborative partnerships and improve reporting. \nIn this discussion the panel will explore \n\nDiversity – How do we drive large-scale change and develop collaborative partnerships that will address complex societal and environmental issues whilst identifying material risks and unlocking opportunities for improvements via business operations and upstream/downstream activities.\nReporting – what can companies implement to advance their scope 3 reporting\, improve transparency to measure progress and maximize value.\nInvestment – what cutting-edge technologies are investors are focusing on to improve supply chain resilience.\n\n  \nBAB’s Corporate Citizenship & Sustainability Series is a bespoke series of roundtables and business briefings covering critical Environmental\, Societal and Governance (ESG) issues in business and private sector-led initiatives in support of COP\, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This series provides a platform to stimulate debate and conversation amongst business leaders\, relevant policy makers and stakeholders to advance the guiding principles of  COP26 for the U.S.-UK transatlantic corridor. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate \n\nWednesday\, February 1st\n\n\n\nTime \n\n11:00 am – 12:00 pm EST  \n4:00 pm – 5:00 pm GMT\n\n\n\nPlatform \n\nZoom\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister to Attend\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeet the Speakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSiobhan Archer\, Sustainable Investing Specialist\, LGT Wealth Management \nTo learn more about Siobhan click here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAashima Jain\, Director\, Strategic Sourcing and Supplier Management\, United Airlines \nTo learn more about Aashima click here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLauren Rogge\, Senior Manager\, Climate Change & Sustainability\, EY \nTo learn more about Lauren\, click here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeet the Speakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoe Holman\, Principal\, Practice Leader\, ESG Services\, Withum \nTo learn more about Joe click here.

SUMMARY:Mid-Winter Forecast: A U.S. Political\, Economic and Tax Outlook 
DESCRIPTION:It is time to look ahead and put our BAB heads together to find a way through the darker days that many commentators are forecasting this winter.  BAB brings together a panel of friends and colleagues to review the developments of the past 12 months and their ongoing impact on the U.S. tax\, policy and economic landscape. \nWhile the Covid-19 pandemic seems far in the past\, the lingering economic effects—exacerbated by the war in Ukraine—continue to reverberate across the global economy. Republicans will take control of the House of Representatives\, creating a split Congress and possible policy impasses too.  U.S. and UK growth is slowing and everyone from businesses to governments are tightening their budgets to deal with rising inflation.  As we enter the new year\, we’d like to take the opportunity to take review the political\, economic and tax implications of the last year and take a deeper look at the year to come\, examining: \n\nNotable legislative accomplishments for the Biden administration in 2022\, including the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act\, and the long-term economic and tax implications for corporations\nPriorities for the Biden administration and Congress following the 2022 midterm elections\nThe economic forecast for the US in 2023 and key considerations for US-UK businesses\n\nThanks to EY for their support and partnership to bring us this annual U.S. tax\, political and economic outlook.
