An Extraordinary day yesterday at the Responsible Investment Association Australasia (RIAA) Conference. Kimberly Randle spoke alongside Hon Professor Gareth Evans AC KC, former Australian Foreign Minister, Estelle Parker of the RIAA, and Joachim Klement of Liberum discussing geopolitical risk for responsible investment. A key takeaway in highly disruptive times : "There is a need and responsibility to look through the entire supply chain(s). You cannot just stop at the factory gate" - Joachim Klement Responsible investors need to map the supply chain of their portfolios and identify risk not just at the top tiers, and engage deeply. If you would like to continue the discussion, or start considering your risk down to Tier 10 please get in touch. #ResponsibleInvestment #ESGReporting #SupplyChainTransparency
Estelle Parker, Co-CEO at RIAA asked the ‘Navigating geopolitics: Responsible investors’ risk in an uncertain world’ panel their advice on how to better prepare for geopolitical risks as investors. Joachim Klement, Head Strategy, Accounting and Sustainability at Liberum said “There is international collaboration including free trade which is to me a geopolitical opportunity of better cooperation. I think as investors we need a framework on how to support that and engage with the companies that we invest in on these issues, asking them what they are planning to do and to keep that conversation going all the time.” Kimberly Randle, CEO and Co-Founder of Fair Supply highlighted that “Companies and funds can start preparing now by taking a position on the intersection of all these issues. While we have risk frameworks in silos, we have e risk frameworks, s risk frameworks, g risk frameworks, companies often don’t have frameworks that have planned responses to what happens when these issues intersect. I think geopolitical events are a point in time where lots of existing risk frameworks intersect. So taking risk frameworks, planning for what the company’s position is in relation to their response makes it much easier for then companies to operationalise a response that is consistent with the position that they intended for each of those silo risk frameworks.” Professor the Hon Professor Gareth Evans AC KC, Australian National University, Former Australian Foreign Minister & President Emeritus International Crisis Group, asserted that “What is required is deep analytical thinking about particular issues that arise because the intersections are complex, the trade offs are complex, you can’t do everything, you have to focus on those that are more imminent. But do bring to the whole enterprise a mindset that says ethical behavior does bring its own reputation rewards right across the spectrum and is very important to be alert to not only the risk potential but also the opportunity potential of behaving ethically. Do have teams of people, capable people, bright motivated people thinking hard about the potential implications of this and the kind of trade offs involved, don’t just leave it until the crisis comes upon you.” #RIAAconf2024 #geopolitics #responsibleinvestment 📸 The Crop

Very insightful read from on current geopolitical risks and ideas on how to shield our portfolios under different scenarios. #privatebanking #wealthmanagement #Greece
Faced with a deeply divided world, what strategy should investors adopt? We examine tensions in the Middle East, against a backdrop of changing global capital spending, supply chains, trade, and investment flows. We outline the investment implications of three scenarios: a major conflict escalation, the status quo, and a de-escalation in the region.

As we anticipate the trajectory of global policy in 2024, one phrase comes to mind: “The past is prologue.” Economic and political uncertainty promises to play a prominent role in the year ahead as the Israel-Hamas conflict continues, the US and China settle into their new “competitive cooperation,” and the war in Ukraine drags on. Our 2024 Global Policy Outlook endeavors to provide you with a framework for thinking about 2024. We explore potential political changes across multiple regions, provide fiscal and geopolitical outlooks, and dive a little bit deeper into policy and regulatory developments in artificial intelligence, fund liquidity and ESG. While there are some common themes across regions, there are also areas of great divergence, and as we know, such divergence can create room for both opportunity and risk. Explore our detailed policy outlooks for the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, and Asia Pacific. https://inves.co/3RXNUbN

In the current geopolitical landscape, investors face risks, but maintaining a long-term perspective is crucial. During our prestigious event in Verbier, Dr. Nannette Hechler-Fayd'herbe, Head of Investment Strategy, Sustainability, and Research, and CIO of EMEA at Lombard Odier, compared the risks of today with those of the past century and concluded that in spite of the grave conflicts underway, geopolitical risks remain still contained. In a persistently fractured world in which (geo)politics take renewed importance for the economy and markets, inflation can be more volatile and interest rates more elevated than during the previous era of globalization. Despite recent war outbreaks and escalating tensions among superpowers, Dr. Hechler-Fayd'herbe provided reassurance to investors.

Geopolitics, Trade, Investment, and Corporate strategy: Professor: Founder, St. Gallen Endowment: Co-Chair WEF Trade & Investment Council
Where are global #trade and #investment headed? The pervasive "fragmentation" narrative emphasises the downside--but is there any upside? How should governments position their economies if #fragmentation continues? And how will fragmentation affect the operations and strategies of corporates? This afternoon, with the help of a super panel, I moderated a session at #wef24 that tackled these questions. Main takeaway: don't overdo the negativism. Multilateralism really matters but there's lots governments can do to strengthen their national business environment and to integrate into regional markets. Firms stand ready to partner to create local jobs and supply chains. Superb contributions from H.E. Adebayo Olawale Edun (Minister of Finance of #Nigeria), Rebecca Grynspan (Secretary-General, #UNCTAD), Reta Jo Lewis (President US EXIM bank), Jakob Stausholm (Chief Executive Officer, #Rio Tinto) and Marcelo Claure (Group Vice Chairman, #Shein). Once again the WEF has brought together a diversity of perspectives that constructively fed off each other as the conversation unfolded. A photo of us in action is below.

World Investment Report: Weaker global flows show much work ahead for a more inclusive future. The #WeeklyTradecast looks at the World Investment Report and the latest trends with UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD)'s Richard Bolwijn. Global flows of foreign direct investment (FDI) declined by 2% to $1.3 trillion dollars last year. The headline number included big swings in a small number of conduit economies – which often act as intermediaries for FDI destined for other countries. Without those drivers, FDI globally would have been even lower. This year should be better but risks and uncertainties persist – especially for developing countries that need investment to grow now and adapt in the future. Tune in to Richard Bolwijn, Head of Investment Research, to hear how investment policies and decisions are being shaped by technology, sustainability and geopolitical tensions. https://ow.ly/HHH250SmqMI #UNCTAD60

Global value chains are grappling with current geopolitical and economic uncertainties. It is imperative to enhance the diversification of supply chains and ensure that they are not concentrated in a few geographies which could lead to uneven development. Setting the stage for the discussion on the topic 'Red Haze: The 'Derisking' Question' at the Raisina Dialogue, 2024, our Chairperson, Sanjeev Krishan, emphasised the need for democratised, resilient and sustainable value chains facilitated by technology and mutual cooperation. #SustainableSupplyChain #RaisinaDialogue2024 Observer Research Foundation
