			:"Sustainability is growing ever more important for treasurers’ organisations and careers.

			:Important reasons include sustainable finance, and an ever sharper focus on ESG from financial markets.

			:Evidence of its importance include the ACT’s inaugural Diversity and Sustainability Awards in October 2024.


			:Here’s a True or False question to get up to speed:

			:(Q) The “S” in ESG stands for Sustainability, doesn’t it?

			:(A) Congratulations if you said “False”! The S in ESG is actually for Social concerns.


			:ESG is just one part of the very wide-ranging concept of sustainability.

			:For example, sustainable finance means finance for sustainable projects, which are projects that take account of all three of Environmental, Social and Governance issues.

			:Another example is the criteria for the ACT Sustainability awards.

			:Award criteria cover not only environmental, social and governance solutions, but also innovative finance solutions and more."

			:<span style="color:#4B0082">'''''Treasury needs to understand the company's net-zero journey'''''</span>

			:"Viktoria Hadarits, assistant treasurer at Lightsource bp, a global leader in solar development and management, told the forum how even a solar business needs to have net-zero targets. “We provide solar energy to companies to help them on their net-zero journey, however, that doesn’t mean that we don’t have to worry about our own journey,” she said.

			:“In 2021 we published our sustainability framework, which included the three key pillars of the company – people, environment and energy. Building on the sustainability framework in 2022, we have published our first annual sustainability report, confirming the sustainable development goals that we support in our operations. And we have published the first numbers around our own greenhouse gas emissions and set ourselves some KPIs on how to reduce them over the coming years.”


			:Hadarits described how, when she joined the Lightsource bp team, she made a point of understanding the company’s net-zero journey. “It is very important for the treasury team to be aware of the goals and objectives of the company so that… having people with a sustainability mindset within the treasury team will help embed those [sustainability] processes much faster within our function.”


			:Examples of sustainability processes include how excess cash is invested, including the use of ESG-based money market funds and ‘green’ bank deposit accounts that can support sustainability development goals. She is also looking at foreign exchange products that can be linked to existing sustainability KPIs so that some funds can be returned to the business via a rebate system, which in turn will be used to support the sustainability objectives of the company.

			:“This is where I see our banking counter-parties helping us, through informing us about the latest innovations and products in the market,” she said. “Having full visibility of what is out there in the market will help us make good decisions.”"

			:''Treasurers have an important role in the journey to net zero - ACT HSBC Treasury Forum - 2023.''


			:<span style="color:#4B0082">'''''Scope 3 and biodiversity loss'''''</span>

			:"... panellists agreed that treasurers needed to know and understand their own organisation’s sustainability framework and where the organisation is on its transition pathway. They can then understand where and how finance fits within this. For instance, a revolving credit facility (RCF) can be linked to sustainability elements, with margins flexed up or down depending on performance against sustainability KPIs. Treasurers can also ensure their organisations invest surplus cash in ESG-related funds, and even help employees with their own investments, such as pensions, so that they are comfortable with where their money is invested.


			:Then there is the supply chain, which is going to become an area of increasing focus as organisations begin to report on their ‘Scope 3’ greenhouse gas emissions. However, there are other fundamentals such as ensuring suppliers are paid on time and absorbing short-term increases in costs, weighed against the long-term goal of net-zero.

			:The forum also heard how biodiversity loss is set to become an area of increasing focus for many companies, as the Taskforce on Nature-Related Financial Disclosure (TNFD) continues its work to develop and deliver a risk management and disclosure framework for organisations to report and act on evolving nature-related risks."
