A unique conference, Reuters Global Energy Transition 2022, united CEOs and changemakers from the energy, industrial, and government ecosystems. It gathered them to shed light on the defining issue of our time, and help companies meet the difficult challenge of climate change.
The conference aimed at actionable items with cross-sector conversations among experts who might not normally be speaking with each other. Here's a roundtable on the sidelines with FTI Consulting's Rodolfo Araujo, Christine DiBartolo, Ken Ditzel, and Chris LeWand about ESG.
PUF's Steve Mitnick: ESG is driving strategy. You four do different parts of it, but you work together. Which parts do you work on and work as a team?
Ken Ditzel: I plug in mainly from the E side. I come in and support clients with the Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions accounting, help them set targets and then come up with mitigation plans on how to address their emissions over time.
I also help with TCFD scenario analysis. That's understanding the different futures for how their company might face climate change from transition risks and physical risks, and then how that's going to impact their financial statements, and eventually their credit.
