• Six Ambitions Based on the UN’s SDGs and Included in our Strategic Program

    EDF Group

    In 2016, we decided on six corporate responsibility goals. They mark out the path we have set for ourselves to achieve our CAP 2030 strategy and take into account the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) laid down by the United Nations. Although the SDGs are not aimed directly at companies, we firmly believe that these goals cannot be met without the active contribution of business organizations. We fully embrace the global approach of the SDGs, while remaining aware that we are but one of the many actors in this movement.  more[...]

  • AAIB: The First Bank in Egypt to Measure Its Carbon Footprint

    Perihan Abdel Ghaly, Arab African International Bank
    Maha Hasebou, Arab African International Bank
    Arab African International Bank

    Despite the fact that Egypt is not among the top carbon dioxide emitters in the world, the notion of “the earlier … the better” has always been a key driving force for Arab African International Bank (AAIB), which is creating awareness in the banking industry about tackling climate change by measuring its carbon footprint and publishing its first Carbon Footprint Report. From Kyoto to the Rio+20 Summit the interest in global warming and climate change has grown exponentially over the past 10 years. The Kyoto Protocol was introduced in 1997 in Japan and entered into force in 2005. The Protocol’s main goal was to reduce the carbon footprint of some countries compared to the level of emissions they had in 1990.  more[...]

  • Aligning Flows of Capital with Tackling Climate Change

    James Leaton, Carbon Tracker Initiative

    The Carbon Tracker Initiative (CTI) was set up a few years ago to investigate what levels of future carbon emissions were being financed. By comparing the stocks of carbon in the form of coal, oil, and gas in the ground with carbon budgets that equate to degrees of warming, we have demonstrated the huge overhang of carbon in our energy system – what we refer to as “unburnable carbon.”  more[...]
