In the past two year CBS has been researching and developing blue metrics for nordic financial institutions together with The Green Digital Finance Alliance, WWF, and Hub Ocean. On 15 December, CBS and Dansif will cohost a panel discussion followed by a presentation of the result of this project.
FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, CBS, THE GREEN DIGITAL FINANCE ALLIANCE (GDFA), WWF, AND HUBOCEANS, SUPPORTED BY THE VELUX FOUNDATION, HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND DEVELOPING BLUE METRICS FOR NORDIC FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS.
THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT WAS TO INVESTIGATE AND ADVOCATE FOR SOLUTIONS TO FURTHER INTEGRATE OCEAN RISK METRICS IN THE ESG DATA LANDSCAPE, AND ULTIMATELY TO PROVIDE DATA THAT IS READY FOR DEPLOYMENT BY FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS TO MONITOR OCEAN IMPACTS OF THEIR FINANCIAL DECISIONS. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE CREATION OF A DATA FOUNDATION FOR PRACTICE CHANGE TOWARDS GREATER ACCOUNTING FOR OCEAN RISKS. THE RESULTS OF THIS PROMISING PROJECT WILL BE REVEALED DURING THE EVENT, COHOSTED BY DANSIF AND CBS, ON DECEMBER 15TH.
SPECIFICALLY, A PANEL REUNITING KEY ACTORS OF THE ECOSYSTEM WILL FOCUS ON DISCUSSING THE NEED AND CHALLENGES OF IMPLEMENTING BLUE METRICS FOR THE SHIPPING INDUSTRY. FOLLOWING, THE PROOF OF CONCEPT FOR THE GEOLOCATED METRIC DEVELOPED WITH HUBOCEANS AND S&P, WILL BE PRESENTED.
