Burgess COMMENTARY
A very interesting video, and very good that there is quite substantive conversation about the idea of impacts and their measurement ... but my takeaway is that there is really no management numbering that is efficient. The corporate world is very clear about the numbers around profit and economic wealth accumulation, but nobody is able to number the impact associated with social capital (people and their quality of life) and natural capital (depletion of natural resources and degradation of natural systems). I am also bothered that context is missing in terms of the scale of the revenues, free cash flow, profits, benefit for investors etc for corporate GSK and the scale of the partnership between GSK and Save the Children.

We've just published our latest instalment around the TCFD guidelines. The guidelines have added a renewed focus and attention on climate-related reporting. The guidelines have created a big shift in the fact they ask companies to report on future climate impacts. And, whilst recommendations are voluntarily at present, there's signs that mandatory regulation is on its way.
