Dear John,
Tomorrow we kick off the hallmark portion of Ceres 2021: Transform Tomorrow Today—our virtual conference where sustainability leaders will discuss actions required today to transform tomorrow and build a just and inclusive net-zero emissions economy.
We know that not everyone can attend the full conference, so we’re opening up tomorrow’s "A Conversation with Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford" for free. You can register for this complimentary Ceres 2021 event with promo code: BILLFORD. |
| Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford sits down with Ceres CEO and President Mindy Lubber to discuss the role of companies and the automotive sector in creating a more sustainable future, particularly as the U.S. works to recover from the impacts of COVID-19. |
| And, following Bill Ford, we invite you to stay on for a special complimentary event, “Earth You Big Ol’ Thing You.” |
| Join us for a special celebration to support “Earth You Big Ol’ Thing You,” an animated short film inspired by a magical love song to our planet. Award-winning actress and songwriter Mary Steenburgen, country music’s Grammy-nominated Brothers Osborne and acclaimed singer-songwriter Lucie Silvas
teamed up to write the love song “Earth You Big Ol’ Thing You.” Working to bring it to life as a short animated film is an award-winning producing and animation team, including Penney Finkelman Cox (Shrek, Prince of Egypt), Michaela Hart (Curious George, RAFT Animation), and Jon Leshay (Storefront Entertainment). |
| You can also join the following Ceres 2021 Side Events as our guest: |
| Join acclaimed chef and food educator Lois Ellen Frank for a fun and engaging at-home cooking class that will show you new insights, tips and tricks on how to prepare a nutritious plant-based meal. After the food is prepared, you’ll get to join an informative panel discussion moderated by Ceres’ Beth Hooker
to explore our global food system with chef Lois Ellen Frank and experts Sonja Vermeulen
of CGIAR and Daniel Vennard of WRI. You’ll walk away with concrete actions you can take to help transform our food system, both as an individual consumer and an influential decision maker. |
To fully integrate ESG into decision making, investors, issuers, and markets need a more transparent, consistent, and quantified assessment of the credit impact of ESG issues.
Moody’s Investors Service published an updated ESG Cross Sector Methodology in December 2020 introducing new ESG Issuer Profile and Credit Impact Scores for rated entities. On January 18, 2021, Moody’s published ESG scores for rated sovereigns. During the course of 2021, Moody’s plans will expand to an increasing number of issuers and transactions across corporates, infrastructure, public finance and financial institutions. |
