I've been getting a lot of questions recently regarding the current state of Climate & ESG regulations in the United States, and what it means for companies operating in US markets or looking to sell to US buyers... Regardless of what shakes out in Trump's U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, climate disclosure requirements ARE or ARE BECOMING the new normal across US states representing major markets. From California (#1 GDP) to New York (#3 GDP), from Illinois (#5 GDP) to Washington (#9 GDP), from New Jersey (#10 GDP) to Colorado (#15 GDP), climate-related disclosures will directly or indirectly impact all firms doing business in these markets. This article by Trellis Group provides a great summary on the current regulatory environment brewing within statehouses across the country. If you're looking to translate these compliance pressures to commercial performance, Rho Impact's got your back. We provide the software and practitioner support needed to deliver both commercial AND climate impact (without the greenwashing). Reach out to learn more or log onto Koi.eco to get started today!

According to recent research by Harvard Business School, nearly half of US public companies are either developing or investing in climate solutions. 2024 data from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reveals 879 companies, representing $6 Trillion in revenue, are advancing 88 different kinds of climate solutions across a broad range of industries. What's more? About 40% of these firms are headquartered in Republican-leaning states. Whether we call it ESG or energy innovation, climate tech or resiliency investments, scalable and accessible solutions for addressing climate-related risks will become the greatest economic opportunity of our time. This article provides notable examples of how American companies are generating commercial opportunities by addressing climate opportunities - such as American Airlines, Dominion Energy, Dow, Ameresco, First Solar, Bunge, General Motors, and more. Whether you plan to build or buy your firm's climate offerings, explore the wide-world of climate solutions with Koi.eco. Brought to you by the team at Rho Impact, Koi provides both the 'numbers and narrative' on thousands of climate solutions. And the result? Greater commercial AND climate impact (without the greenwashing). Rho Impact. The new normal is already here.

American investment firms have a lot to learn from the ESG blunders and backlash State Street Global Advisors is currently wrestling with overseas. First they lost $35 Billion in managed assets from UK-based, 'The People's Pension' (People's Partnership) for weak ESG credentials. Now a month later, Danish pension fund AkademikerPension, which manages approximately DKK 157 billion ($25bn) on behalf of workers in the higher education sector in Denmark, ended its collaboration (and $400M mandate) with State Street following a review of its ESG processes. If you're an investment firm with EU and UK-based clients, your ESG capabilities are your competitive advantage.

So what exactly is "insetting" and why is it relevant across industries? “Insetting” is a pragmatic, market-based approach for decarbonizing enterprise supply chains (and industry value-chains at large) by investing in projects that reduce supplier emissions. Great article by Trellis Group on food & bev insetting and the implications these supply chain interventions have had for food giants like Mars, General Mills, and Nutrien. If you're interested in exploring the range of technologies, projects, and solutions relevant to your industry and supply chain (and climate goals), check out Koi.eco. Brought to you by the team at Rho Impact, Koi is purpose-built to provide decision-makers with the data and tools they need to rapidly identify, quantify, and deploy industry-relevant climate solutions across their supply chains. And the result? Sustainable supply chains AT SCALE. Rho Impact. The new normal is already here.

Congratulations to our partners at the Prime Coalition and our colleagues at Project Frame for being recognized in Impact-Investor.com's recent piece on the hotly contested topic of "impact attribution!" Determining who gets credit for what has been a hot-button issue (and headache) for investors, analysts, and sustainability professionals for years. Project Frame's approach to emissions impact attribution was featured alongside other industry leaders and standard-setters such as Rubio Impact Ventures, Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF), Impact Europe, Donor Committee for Enterprise Development, and Wellington Management. As a founding member and lead contributor to Project Frame, we at Rho Impact are thrilled to see greater awareness and adoption of these methodologies for auditable, transparent, and traceable impact measurement.

Does your sustainability performance really impact your exit opportunities? According to J.P. Morgan and the World Economic Forum, it sure does. "Many general partners are now proactively working with companies 12–18 months or more ahead of an exit to develop the commercial, brand and operational proof points around the sustainability characteristics of their companies. For general partners, the mandate is clear: develop robust, specialized capabilities to identify, accelerate and scale climate-focused companies, or risk falling behind competitors who are already capturing this value." So how can you develop these specialized capabilities when green talent is scarce and time is tight? By logging onto Koi.eco. Brought to you by the team at Rho Impact, Koi.eco provides everything you need to rapidly identify, assess, and report on your climate investments. Then equip your portcos with the impact narrative and numbers they need to commercialize their sustainable value proposition at scale. And the result? Commercial AND climate impact (without the greenwashing). Reach out to learn more or log-on to Koi.eco to get started today! Rho Impact. The new normal is already here.
