One of the objectives of the 2024 Principles for Responsible Investment Awards was to share exciting examples of innovative industry practice. As part of that we have published the shortlisted case studies from the Recognition for Action – Nature category. Great timing with COP16 Colombia in full swing in Columbia and fantastic to see submissions from Brazil, Indonesia and South Africa. This category was super-competitive with margins between all submissions being extremely thin. All of these case studies are available here >> https://lnkd.in/eJPCQNdi Category Winner Groupe Caisse des Dépôts - one of the judges commented; “a great example of how a financial institution can embed nature throughout its operations….if other financial institutions follow CDC’s leadership our chances of reversing nature loss by 2030 will be significantly increased” Shortlisted submissions included: AXA Investment Managers – the submission described a financial product that enables investors to target improvements in natural capital with a series of specific examples relating to the Brazilian Amazon. EcoEnterprises Fund - a women-led investment fund investing in regenerative agriculture, aquaculture and agroforestry alongside working with investee companies to deliver real-world impacts. Gresham House – one of the judges commented “This project has a clear ambition – to protect and restore nature – and provides a leadership example others can follow. Habitat Banks demonstrate the potential to attract finance to nature increasing our chances of becoming nature positive by 2030.” Nuveen, a TIAA company – in this submission, Nuveen identified 50 companies exposed to nature related financial risks, developed a clear stewardship programme, setting targets, outlined engagement processes and aligned proxy voting. Watch out for the next shortlisted case studies (climate, human rights, RI investment strategy and stewardship) over the coming weeks.
