Great to see that our Oliver Wyman Forum URBAN MOBILITY READINESS INDEX, a report we have been publishing together with Prof. Alexandre Bayen from the University of California, Berkeley for more than five years, is guiding the public discussion around sustainable mobility. See below an assessment based on our Index from the Major of Paris, Anne Hidalgo.

Europe needs to: Deregulate, innovate, automate, ramp up defense, create incentives for migration with net positive effect on our societies, decarbonize w/o counterproductive ideological preferences & micromanagement. And we need to proceed with full urgency, vigour and speed. Everything else means decline. Inevitable decline. With all the nasty consequences. Macron's Sorbonne speech really emits some rays of hope. But will reality live up to rhetoric? Especially my home country Germany should embrace the initiative of the French President now and stop wallowing in our self-complacency and sedating ourselves with narratives denied by reality to protect our shrinking comfort zone. These are the times that try men's & women's souls...we will stand united, rise to the challenge, act brave and ambitious...or fall.

🇨🇵🇪🇺 The imminent changes in legislation will be a game-changer for the accounting profession. The auditor's report is set to evolve, offering both retrospective and prospective insights. It will expand its focus from financial performance to encompass finance, sustainability, social engagement, and governance. The narrative will shift from a company viewed in isolation to one assessed within its value chain. This broadening of scope promises to enhance the relevance of the accounting profession, enabling accountants to embody their role as trusted representatives of society with greater impact than ever. 🤝🏻 #Sustainability #CSRD #ESG #France #IFRS #IFRS_S1 #IFRS_S2 #CPA #ExpertsComptables #RFC #OEC

What an incredible experience presenting on EU financial regulation at platform58 • incubateur fintech - fintech incubator for the 2024/2025 edition of the Track Fintech Msc entrepreneur X-HEC Entrepreneurs. A huge thank you to L'Observatoire de la Fintech, in particular Mikael Ptachek and François FAURE for the honor of inviting me to join such a wonderful and fully engaged group of future Fintech entrepreneurs to discuss key EU regulatory and supervisory requirements as well as a more strategic understand of EU regulatory policy in a global context. We covered many key insights that are vital but one key lesson here is critical for these budding entrepreneurs, today and moving forward: 💡 🔎 📖 Proactively identifying, grappling and integrating regulatory considerations and strategy from the outset and in close collaboration with your other members of your entrepreneurial team is critical. Ultimately you may be supported by law firm or a regulatory consultancy firm, but even in the short term taking the time to think about these issues from the outset will enhance your understanding of your business, build confidence for your investors and clients, ensure that you are ready to build a solid case in front of regulators and supervisors, and create a business that stands the test of time. The road can be challenging but it is worth it.

Earlier this month, ICMIF member Aéma Groupe signed, alongside more than 60 investors around the world, a declaration of support for Climate Action 100+'s work. Climate Action 100+ is an initiative that was launched in 2017 by several international investor networks to ensure that the companies that emit the most greenhouse gases change their trajectory. The objective is for businesses to upgrade their governance on climate change and contribute to cleaner energy. Among these committed investors are the Principles for Responsible Investment, a network of financial institutions supported by the United Nations... of which Aéma Groupe is an active member. Aéma Groupe says it was therefore only natural that it responded to this call, in a context where the #risks related to #climatechange are increasing every day and in the belief that working collaboratively with other investors through initiatives like Climate Action 100+ is one of the most effective ways to address both the specific AND systemic risks that the climate crisis poses to financial investments. #ResponsibleInvesting #SustainableInvesting

“Is ELTIF 2.0. the key to the retailisation of Private Equity?” is definitely one of the questions we touched upon during the roundtable Frédéric Pérard from STP had the pleasure to co-moderate during the #LPEA Tech Day on 22 May, 2024. The main take-aways of this interesting discussion can be sumarized as follows: 1- Most ELTIF 2.0 new projects are open ended funds with potential high volumes of retail investors; 2- this implies more onboarding work, including AML / KYC and therefore more cost; 3- it also requires to address specific aspects like long lock-up period and the need for liquidity; 4- GPs need to adapt their fee structure to make them simpler and easier to manage; 5- ManCos and Asset Servicers need to get properly equipped to process a mix of bankable and non bankable assets, often held in very different systems… 6- Consequently, ELTIFs 2.0. seem promising but challenging. Let’s see the final RTS and their impact on the market. Thank you #LPEA for hosting this insightful event. For those of you interested in launching ELTIFs, talk to us if you current platform doesn’t fully meet the needs! #ELTIF, #Asset_management, #Asset_servicers, #ManCo, #GP, #LPEA

France has unveiled a €3 billion initiative to support industrial decarbonization, including its first carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) projects. Funding is €20M+ per project, and eligible projects are high GHG emitters under EU ETS. Projects like process electrification, energy efficiency, and CCUS will receive grants covering decarbonization costs for 15 years—impact: over 60M tonnes of CO₂-equivalent savings projected. A bold step toward industrial sustainability! #Sustainability #Decarbonisation #France2030 #ClimateAction

[#Finance 📊] Séché Environnement Confirms Its Revenue Targets for 2024. The third quarter of 2024 shows a strong level of activity for the Group, both in France and internationally. Growth in France remains solid across most markets, particularly in depollution and environmental emergency services. Internationally, the gradual ramp-up of strategic contracts signed this summer reaffirms the outlook for dynamic growth in this sector over the coming months. This quarter's trends thus support our revenue target for 2024, expected to be approximately €1.120 billion. 👉 https://lnkd.in/e8X5bi7B
