A look at the more forward-looking approaches to company measurement and investing, from a senior representative of Trucost. Trucost provide the backbone to the Newsweek Green Rankings of the world's largest companies, from its leading comprehensive database on the environmental impacts of business. Our recent UN Report on Ecosystems Damage and Universal Owners also received much acclaim, and will be reviewed extensively.
He is also a member of the 70 person Expert Group that helped oversee and create the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). Also, he originally worked in collaboration with Trucost in 2005 on their Sustainable City award winning Carbon Footprint study of UK portfolios, as well as the IFC-sponsored Carbon Counts Asia report in 2007, released at the UN's Bali meetings.
He worked with CNBC, the Wall Street Journal, the LA Times and other global media regarding environmental subject matter, and serves as a leading interpreter of equity ownership. Frequent speaker and blogger at GreenBiz.com.
