Did you know that water is the most used natural resource on the planet? Every year, we consume around 4 trillion cubic meters of freshwater!?? ?? To put things into perspective: Producing a single pair of jeans requires 8,000 liters of water—that’s like leaving your shower running for 12 hours straight! While demand continues to rise, freshwater is becoming increasingly scarce due to climate change, overuse, and pollution. This isn't just an environmental challenge—it's a business risk. Water shortages are already disrupting supply chains, increasing costs, and putting pressure on industries that rely on it. Understanding the water footprint is key to building resilience. That’s why, together with ING Espa?a&Portugal we’ve developed the first water footprint calculator—helping individuals and businesses measure and manage their water use more effectively. A real water strategy starts with data. The more we understand, the better we can act—to protect businesses, communities, and ensure long-term economic stability.

?? 2025 will be the year of ESG data accountability. Opaque metrics won’t cut it. With global regulations like the EU’s SFDR, the UK’s Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR), and the ISSB’s sustainability reporting standards, firms can no longer rely on opaque methodologies or unverifiable claims. Investors and regulators are demanding transparent, explainable ESG data—and firms that fail to meet these expectations risk penalties, reputational damage, and lost capital. ??? As Tom Willman explains in our latest webinar: “Even with shifting regulations, the market will continue to demand sustainability-related data. The real focus for financial institutions should be on ensuring they have the right insights to make informed decisions—because whether you call it ESG or something else, these factors impact risk and return."

?? Financial materiality is taking center stage in sustainable investing in 2025: https://hubs.la/Q03bFKrX0 For years, ESG discussions revolved around broad ethical considerations. But in 2025, investors and regulators are demanding a sharper focus on financial materiality—ensuring that sustainability factors directly impact risk and return. ??? As Tom Willman explains in our latest webinar: "The ability to correctly and quickly identify ESG risks through transparent ESG data, through your own research, and understanding who the counterparties are, is really going to be important in 2025."

?? The EU Commission proposed major changes to key regulations—what’s being rolled back? The Omnibus proposal, announced by the European Commission on February 26, would significantly scale back sustainability reporting requirements across CSRD, CSDDD, and the EU Taxonomy. The changes aim to reduce burdens on businesses, dramatically altering how businesses disclose sustainability-related risks, conduct due diligence, and align with the EU’s sustainable finance framework. While framed as simplification, they have led to regulatory uncertainty and fears that the changes would reduce data transparency and increase greenwashing risks. Investors and businesses will need to navigate a shifting compliance landscape while ensuring sustainability remains a core part of financial decision-making. How will these rollbacks shape the future of EU sustainable finance?

Transition finance is no longer about promises—it’s about proof. Regulators are tightening the reins on transition finance, ensuring capital for decarbonization actually delivers measurable impact. The UK’s Transition Finance Market Review and the EU’s Clean Industrial Deal signal a major shift—moving from voluntary commitments to stricter oversight and accountability. ?? Financial institutions must prove their transition finance strategies align with science-based targets. ?? High-emission industries will face greater scrutiny on how they access and use capital. ?? Greenwashing loopholes? Regulators are closing them fast. As the pressure mounts, firms that adapt can gain a competitive edge, while those that lag risk legal and reputational fallout. Is your strategy ready? ??

While federal policies shift, the market is speaking loud and clear—clean investments in the US are booming. In 2023, U.S. clean energy investment hit a record $248 billion—three times the 2018 figure, according to Climate Central, Inc. Even Republican-led states are seeing record growth in clean energy infrastructure. In 2023, Texas surpassed California in solar energy production. Why? Because renewables are cheaper, faster to deploy, and more profitable—and investors are taking notice. In his latest piece, Lorenzo Saa breaks down why U.S. investors should double-down on sustainability, despite shifting politics.

?? The California Air Resources Board announced it is softening its approach to the enforcement of corporate climate reporting rules—but is it a smart move or a risky precedent? The state has long been a trailblazer in the U.S. for corporate climate disclosures, with the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act (CCDAA) the most advanced climate disclosure regulation in the U.S. But as 2026 reporting deadlines approach, regulators have introduced a softer approach to enforcement, allowing companies a grace period for incomplete reporting if they demonstrate good-faith efforts. ?? Pros: More time could lead to better, more accurate emissions data—especially for complex Scope 3 reporting. ?? Cons: Without strict enforcement, some firms may delay compliance, weakening investor confidence in sustainability data. ??
