Lively Discussion from Harvard Business School: Sustainable Investing and Climate Leadership Last week, our CEO had the honor of discussing the #HBS PortageBay case study at Harvard Business School. Led by Professor Vikram Gandhi and Doug Chow, the session dove deep into critical aspects of impact measurement and sustainable investing, perfectly timed with the ongoing global conversations at #COP29. The lessons learned are highly relevant for impact investors, family offices, sustainable finance professionals, and anyone committed to making a positive difference. We delved into topics such as: - A thought-provoking debate on Amazon.com's role as a potential climate leader - Exploring meaningful pathways for companies to influence the climate trajectory - How to critically examine corporate transition strategies through the lenses of climate ambition, actions, and accountability - The future of sustainability reporting with the adoption of the ISSB’s reporting standards The conversation was particularly inspiring, as it showcased the next generation of business leaders deeply committed to understanding and addressing critical challenges. Their thoughtful engagement gives us great hope for a more brighter future. #HarvardBusinessSchool #SustainableInvesting #ImpactMeasurement #ImpactInvesting #FamilyOffices #ClimateAction #Sustainability #BusinessLeadership #ISSB

The increasing focus on climate commitment, as outlined by the Paris Agreement, highlights the critical need for accurate climate reporting and robust strategies to combat greenwashing. Yet, the intricate task of measuring climate impact and tracking climate action progress remains a significant hurdle for many institutions. At PortageBay, we’re excited to share that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has spotlighted our AI-powered ESG solution in their use case bulletin. Our solution empowers banks to mitigate greenwashing risks by delivering thorough analyses of their climate impact, monitoring progress toward emission targets, and producing data-driven climate reports. This adds on to our award winning Transition Suitability Indicator, which was awarded the HKMA's Best Green FinTech solution for transition, earlier this year. We're thrilled to continue to receive from support from the HKMA. 📖 Dive into the bulletin to learn more: https://lnkd.in/g8GSe52W #ESG #Sustainability #Transition #Greenwashing #ClimateAction #Regtech #AI #PortageBay
