Yep, any time someone says ‘That’s what they’re all doing’, what they mean is ‘That’s what I would do’

That’s very interesting. Which asset managers would you say are the leaders on this?

Agreed, banks are well ahead of the curve on understanding and now pricing physical climate risk, been doing this for years already. Asset managers starting to work on it but still a long way behind banks.

Wow, we're back to the ecosystem/walled garden thing. I remember Sberbank - sorry, Sber - banging on about that back in 2019.

Yep, I have a family member in this situation. Freelance translator, Russian wife. Can’t see him ever being able to return to the UK to live under current rules, or of his mother being able to see her grandson more than a couple of times a year.

I mean, yes. Quite fun to see the astonishing range of bizarre stuff that gets advertised. But only a (short) evening’s entertainment at best

I think it works best if there’s something specific you’re into that has good visual content creators eg cycling, funghi, crafts. Also means you get more targeted ads, which is good because the volume of ads is nuts.

In my experience, US firms are a lot lesser bothered by CSRD than by the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, which would make them liable for infractions in their supply chains. That is where even sustainability advocates in the US start talking about extraterritoriality.
