What sustainability challenges are keeping the C-Suite up at night? According to IBM and Morning Consult's "State of Sustainability Readiness Report 2024," the most challenging issues facing C-Suites around the world include 'climate risk to operations and assets' (31%), 'energy use' (31%), 'availability of skilled staff' (30%), followed by 'measurement and analytics' (26%). So how can you address these core sustainability challenges consistent across industries, markets, and global value chains? By logging onto Koi.eco - your turnkey impact forecasting tool and climate solutions database. Here's how it helps: -Identify the combination of climate solutions relevant to your industry, market, and value chain node. -Pressure-test the potential impact of each solution and get directionally accurate insight into the viability of each decarbonization pathway you could take. -Communicate your climate strategy and ensure regulatory compliance with auditable and traceable impact data aligned with global ESG standards and investment frameworks. Since 2018, the Rho Impact team has been actively contributing to and developing some of the world's most trusted data, tools, and methodologies for calculating the potential impact of new climate technologies - including the CRANE Tool and Project Frame, CDP's Emerging Climate Technology (ECT) Framework, and the ECO Framework (recently featured on Forbes). Koi?represents a paradigm shift in assessing the impact of technologies on net-zero strategies,?delivering the missing piece?for investors, innovators, and industries to act with confidence. It's time to go from climate confusion to climate confidence - for you, your firm, and society at large. Rho Impact. The new normal is already here.

How will the Trump administration influence your company's climate and ESG-related compliance requirements? Who cares. The new normal is already here. -More than 75 countries and territories have regulations, laws, and voluntary standards that impact climate and ESG-related issues. From the European Union's CSRD to India's SEBI BRSR, from California Air Resources Board Climate Crisis Act to New York State Department of Financial Services Climate Resiliency rules, you better have your story (and data) strait on how you are reducing your contributions to and risk exposure from climate change. -38 stock exchanges have ESG reporting requirements as a listing rule (United Nations Sustainable Stock Exchanges Initiative), and 19 stock exchanges have a board diversity rule as well. With climate and ESG data becoming the norm on both historic stock exchanges (like Euronext, Nasdaq and Luxembourg Stock Exchange) and emerging ones as well (like The Stock Exchange of Thailand and Zimbabwe Stock Exchange), any IPO aspirations will come with ESG requirements. -75% of suppliers have already faced ESG procurement requirements and over 90% of major B2B buyers have ESG disclosure requirements as part of their onboarding process (2024 studies by The Manufacturer and Good.Lab). With B2B sales being more competitive than ever, good luck getting the business without your 'impact narrative and numbers.' ESG compliance is the new normal. Check out this ESG Compliance Best Practices Guide, co-created by Rho Impact and the Corporate Finance Institute? (CFI), for some insight and inspiration on translating your compliance pressures into your competitive advantage. Rho Impact. The new normal is already here.

The best part about speaking on panels with other sustainability leaders is deriving inspiration (and entertainment) from our collective wins, losses, and learnings along the way. Thank you to UNC Charlotte Belk College of Business and Professor Andy Fraher for having me join their sustainability panel for soon-to-be MBA graduates. After about 5 minutes in, I knew this was going to be about 50% lecture, 50% laughter. Isn't college the best? And major props to the other panelists for their insight regarding critical sustainability themes relevant across industries, sectors, and global value chains - What a pleasure it was to 'muck it up' on these important topics with Austin Alexander (Xylem), Ana Fernandez (Coca-Cola Consolidated), and Michael Lizotte (University of North Carolina at Charlotte)! To all the soon-to-be MBA grads from University of North Carolina at Charlotte who feel called to this line of work - just know this: The world needs YOU more than ever - and the team at Rho Impact has your back.
