Last week, ISSB Vice-Chair Jingdong Hua took part in the World Economic Forum's 15th Annual Conference of the New Champions in Dalian, Liaoning Province. This year's theme, "New Frontiers for Future Growth," focused on addressing the challenges and opportunities in our evolving global landscape. Jingdong spoke at the "Ahead of the Curve: Sector Transition for Nature workshop” event close-door event on June 25, highlighting the crucial role of natural resource use in company growth. He emphasised the importance of disclosing nature-related risks and opportunities according #ISSB Standards, particularly IFRS S1. He also shared insights about the ISSB’s two-year work plan, including new research on biodiversity, ecosystems and ecosystem services, and human capital in the "The Challenge of Global Sustainability Reporting" interactive event on June 26.

Advisor AI @ FAIR Forward - Artificial Intelligence for All ~ AI for Climate Action ~ Environmental Scientist 🌱
It’s been a pleasure presenting our work at FAIR Forward during the Asia Pacific Climate Week at the “UNFCCC Technology Executive Committee: Exploring the use of artificial intelligence for climate action in Asia & Pacific”, alongside my colleague Karlina Octaviany. In Indonesia, our collaborative project involves the High Carbon Stock Approach Foundation, ETH Zürich, and Seknas JKPP (Jaringan Kerja Pemetaan Partisipatif), the Indonesian network for participatory mapping. Together, we are advancing the development of an indicative High Carbon Stock Map. This map serves as a crucial tool for forest protection and sustainable supply chain management, with a core focus on ethical and community-based guidelines, incorporating principles such as FPIC (Free, Prior and Informed Consent). Currently, we are in the final stages of field reference data collection, aiming to verify biomass, assess various land cover aspects, and understand socio-economic factors. This data forms the foundation for refining an existing algorithm for carbon stock classification in Indonesia and beyond. We are committed to open-sourcing a data sharing and anonymization guideline, aligning with ethical guidelines, and adhering to #FAIR and #CARE data sharing principles. The panel discussion underscored the significance of addressing community concerns. Recognizing the potential impact of changes in land status on local livelihoods is a crucial consideration that requires careful attention. Additional challenges involve ensuring transparent communication regarding data usage and implementing effective anonymization processes. Attached is my presentation, and I am happy to address any further questions. We are actively seeking collaborations with similar initiatives to collectively propel these efforts forward.

As part of its 2024-2026 work plan, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) will research risks and opportunities associated with sustainability topics beyond climate for entities to meet the information needs of investors. The research projects will help the ISSB decide whether it should pursue standard-setting for disclosure requirements on some or all of these topics. The ISSB will explore information about sustainability-related risks and opportunities associated with biodiversity, ecosystems and ecosystem services (BEES) and human capital. Biodiversity is a proxy for functional, productive and resilient ecosystems that are able to provide the ecosystem services upon which life on earth relies. Human capital refers to the people who make up a company’s own workforce and workers in the company’s value chain. Consistent with the Integrated Reporting Framework, human capital also refers to the workforce and workers' competencies; capabilities and experience; and motivations to innovate. Initial research on both the above topics will seek to define the projects' scope and determine how best to stage work on the topics to produce timely analysis and explore the necessity and feasibility of standard-setting. #finance #accounting #financialstatements #internalaudit #externalaudit #charteredaccountants

#AnnualResults2023 Séché Environnement confirms its profitable and sustainable growth dynamic 📈. "The 2023 financial year once again confirms the relevance of Séché Environnement's development strategy on the French and international sustainable development markets, and more particularly those of the circular economy and the fight against climate change," comments Joël Séché, Chairman of the Group. In 2023, Séché Environnement pursued its strategy of profitable growth, combining dynamic internal growth with a targeted external growth strategy. In the key markets of ecological transition and sustainable development, the Group has maintained solid growth within its historical perimeter and has successfully completed the integration of new activities acquired at the end of 2022, particularly those related to the industrial water cycle.
