As part of its webinar series on "Climate Change: The Devil is in the Details", Scientific Beta is very pleased to present a series of three webinars.
The first webinar, taking place on 17 December, 2020 at 2.00pm CET and entitled "Can we Trust Scope 3 to Select Stocks based on their Climate Performance?", will look at why investors should treat the integration of value chain considerations into asset selection with extreme caution lest they should encourage greenwashing. The webinar hosts, Erik Christiansen, ESG & Low Carbon Solutions Specialist, and Frédéric Ducoulombier, ESG Director, at Scientific Beta, will suggest that value chain emissions may be used to guide overall policy, implement sector allocation or initiate engagement with companies. Additionally, value chain considerations may still be included into asset selection via specific, security-level performance metrics and/or corporate commitment to decarbonisation. The webinar will also show why we recommend that concerned investors advocate for Scope 3 accounting in their policy and issuer engagements.
The following webinar to be held on January 21, 2021 will look at "Using Carbon Intensity for Portfolio Management – Why Denominators Matter" and the third and final webinar of the series will be broadcast on 4 February, 2021 on the theme "Does a Good Overall Portfolio Climate Score always Correspond to a Positive Strategy for the Climate?".
