In this latest iteration of MHP’s Capital Markets’ quarterly ESG Insights newsletter, we speak with Alex Janiaud, Senior Investment Correspondent at Sustainable Views, on his thoughts for the key sustainability themes to look out for in 2024.

We revisit last month’s COP, reflecting on the level of engagement from corporates and the fine balance they face dealing with multiple – and sometimes juxtaposed – stakeholders, as the topic of ESG becomes increasingly politicised. We also consider how 2024 is an important year when it comes to elections, and explore how corporates can maintain stakeholder trust against a volatile political backdrop. In addition, we delve into the implications of the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM); how it will work in practice, and the impact on business.

Finally, we feature leading carbon data company Sylvera as our Client in Focus. Sylvera’s products and services enable organisations and governments to invest in real climate action and transition to Net Zero.
