President-elect Donald #Trump has tapped Paul Atkins, a financial services adviser and former regulator, to lead the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. #Atkins is currently the CEO of Patomak Global Partners, a fintech and risk management consultancy he founded in 2009. Prior to establishing the firm, Atkins served as an #SEC commissioner from 2002 to 2008, his second stint at the agency following his time there as chief of staff and then counselor during the 1990s. The appointment has sparked concerns from #ESG experts who expect the new chair to undo many of the #climate and #social #regulations and proposals brought forward by current SEC Chair Gary Gensler. “I think across the board, we’re going to see greater deference to industry prerogative [and] greater efforts to diminish the effects of or the influence of ESG proposals in the mix,” NYU Stern School of Business' Michael Posner told ESG Dive.

Several climate and ESG-related regulations at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Department of Labor are likely headed for the chopping block come January, once president-elect Donald Trump is sworn in. With #Trump back in Washington, the Republican party taking control of the U.S. Senate and the Supreme Court comprising a conservative-leaning majority, experts have expressed concerns about what this concentrated power could entail for the future of U.S actions on #climate and #ESG. Some of these concerns have centered on the fate of the rules and regulations put forward by federal agencies under the #Biden administration. ESG Dive takes a look at the agency rules that are most likely to face challenges under a second Trump administration ⬇️

Sustainability and clean energy professionals are bracing for the impacts of a second Trump presidency. While private sector actions on climate and ESG are expected to continue to accelerate, albeit at a slower pace, Heidi Welsh told ESG Dive that his reelection is "likely to have significant impacts on regulation of investors’ consideration of environmental and social factors." #Trump #esg #climate #sustainableinvesting

Another presidential #election cycle unlike any other is nearing its completion, with voters set to cast final ballots on Tuesday, Nov. 5. The ballot box will decide who — between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump — will take on the role of the 47th president of the United States. Next week's results will also determine how the country will go on to address topics like #climate, #sustainability and #ESG, as #Harris and #Trump broadly represent different ends of the spectrum on these issues. “We expect diametrically opposed impacts on issues advocated by ESG investors, depending on which candidate is elected,” Morningstar Indexes’ head of ESG strategy, Thomas Kuh, PhD, told ESG Dive. Take a look at our deep dive to learn more on how the 2024 elections could impact the ESG and sustainability landscape ⬇️

My piece in ESG Dive went live today. It highlights data that shows that anti-ESG sentiment isn't fundamentally changing the investments companies are making in sustainability. It's just making them quieter. Data shows that: 62% of leaders say there is less use of the term ESG, but the same work is continuing. 4 out of 5 companies say that Employee Resource Groups are increasing in significance and more than half are increasing their ERG budgets in an effort to support greater diversity and inclusion in their companies. Philanthropic grants made to natural resources conservation and protection nonprofits grew in rankings from the 42nd spot in 2021 to the 13th spot in 2023, demonstrating corporate commitment to environmental preservation. So as the headline says, "in the wake of increased scrutiny, ESG leaders aren’t backing down." Link in comments... #ESG #ESGInvesting #DEI #Grants #SocialImpact

Denim giant Levi Strauss & Co. is committing to achieve net-zero emissions across its supply chain by 2050, the company said in its first #climate transition plan unveiled last week. The apparel manufacturer also set a few near-term #sustainability targets, including a goal to reduce absolute scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2025, compared to a 2016 baseline, as well as a goal to cut absolute scope 3 emissions by 42% by 2030, compared to a 2022 baseline. #Levi’s joins other major #denim producers such as Diesel and Gap who have also committed to #netzero emissions by mid-century.

I’m in NYC this week covering Climate Week for ESG Dive. One of the first things I saw was a countdown clock on how much time we have left to keep additional temperature rise below 1.5 degrees Celsius. It looks like timing will be a big theme this week. What themes are you watching this week? Reach out if you’re in town for #ClimateWeekNYC and let’s try to grab coffee.
