Newsletter#18 Can Sustainability-Linked Bonds Truly Power Our Path to Net Zero?
Sustainability-linked bonds (SLBs) offer a powerful alternative to green bonds by tying general financing to clear sustainability targets—rewarding success and penalizing failure. After an initial boom, global SLB issuances dipped due to concerns over greenwashing. Yet, a resurgence in credible, science-aligned SLBs—particularly in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America—signals renewed investor trust. High-emitting sectors are embracing SLBs, widening ESG access, while regulators push for transparency and robust verification. Landmark issuances, such as Uruguay’s sovereign SLB and Snam’s Scope 1–3 bond, show growing ambition. If implemented rigorously, SLBs could play a transformative role in global decarbonization efforts. Authenticity and ambition remain key.

Newsletter#14 Why P&G Uses AI to Tackle Supply Chain Disruptions
Extreme weather is now a permanent fixture in global supply chain risk assessments. From heatwaves and floods to hurricanes and wildfires, climate change is disrupting operations, damaging infrastructure, and pushing businesses to rethink their logistics models.

Companies are responding by diversifying suppliers, increasing inventory buffers, using predictive analytics, and embedding sustainability into operations. As weather volatility intensifies, supply chain resilience is emerging as a key factor in corporate performance, insurance, investment decisions, and policymaking worldwide.
Newsletter#8 Why “Saying Less” is the New Strategy?
More companies are going quiet about their climate commitments—not because they’ve abandoned sustainability, but because talking about it has become risky. This growing trend, known as greenhushing, sees firms pulling back on public ESG disclosures to avoid legal scrutiny, political backlash, and accusations of greenwashing. From BlackRock scrubbing climate pledges to McDonald’s rebranding its ESG messaging, silence is becoming a strategy.
