“It is not enough to set targets, issue nice reports, pay for credits and claim you are great,” she says. “You actually have to change the way you operate, use your influence and engage your employees – and your whole supply chain – to bring down emissions.” The green transition is gathering momentum, according to EY global head of sustainability law Michelle Davies, but organisations need to view sustainability beyond compliance and de-risking the business. There is growing realisation that “those who fail to transition will lose business, becoming non-investable, losing key stakeholders”.
However, some believe financial institutions are still letting corporates get away with too much, ie still treating it as a tick-box exercise, says Davies. One difficulty facing CEOs and CFOs is they are being asked or told to do certain things by different stakeholders but cannot track that through to share price. “That makes it really difficult for them to drive transition when they can’t see where that impact on share price is going to be.”
EY Ireland law partner Alan Murphy believes there is increased commercial awareness about carbon, though it might not yet be visible. One of Ireland’s largest real estate developers remarked to him recently that they see sustainability as a key competitive differentiator. “They’re seeing that they won’t get lending from financial institutions unless they meet certain sustainability criteria,” says Murphy.
