Chart of the (Climate) Week: Low Carbon Intensity Is Correlated With Higher Returns

 


https://justcapital.com/news/chart-of-the-climate-week-low-carbon-intensity-is-correlated-with-higher-returns/


 

While this picture is certainly encouraging, more needs to be done: Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions tend to be a smaller part of overall GHG emissions for many companies (scope 3 emissions typically comprise a larger part). However, disclosure and reporting for these value chain emissions is still lacking, even though there are a few notable pledges from companies, like BP, that include them. Companies should use the opportunity that climate week represents to consider extending their engagement on limiting their carbon emissions across their whole value chain. As our research shows, there don’t have to be negative impacts on their valuation – in contrast, with the risk of carbon taxation looming, proactive reduction might prove to be beneficial in the long run.

Nike Cuts Out the Middleman

 


Following a 38-percent drop in revenue in the past quarter caused largely by store closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Nike sales bounced back in the quarter ended August 31. The better-than-expected results were largely driven by Nike’s direct-to-consumer business, and specifically by the company’s booming online sales. The latest results are a continuation of a longer-term trend that sees Nike cut out the middle man and move more and more towards selling directly to consumers. Read more.

    How Much Do Countries Spend on Education?

    How Much Do Countries Spend on Education?

    When it comes to education, there are not only big differences in attainment levels across the world, but also the amount of a country's resources which are spent on investment in the sector. According to the OECD's latest report, Norway is one of the countries which spends the largest share of its GDP on education, at 6.6 percent when also accounting for tertiary. At the other end of the scale of analyzed countries, Russia spends only 3.4 percent.

    The Great British Dining Experiment (Morning Brew)

     

    The Great British Dining Experiment





    Τhey say the British restaurant scene is uninspired. But the British restaurant subsidy scene? Highly innovative. 

    On Monday, the UK wrapped up a first-of-its-kind “Eat Out to Help Out” policy, which incentivized diners to eat out at restaurants bulldozed by the pandemic.

    How? By taking a page from Applebee’s. For the month of August, the UK government paid 50% of the bill (up to $13 per person) for people to eat out on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Alcohol was not included. 

    • Chancellor Rishi Sunak said the scheme would support 1.8 million hospitality sector workers. That sector’s output fell 87% between April and June as a result of pandemic-related restrictions. 

    Did it work? 

    Economists are right about one thing: people do respond to financial incentives. 

    • Diners spent up to 6x more on Mondays than on weekends, according to the finance app Yolt. 
    • In the week ending August 25, British dining bookings were up 31% annually, compared to +21% in Germany and -49% in the U.S., according to OpenTable.
    • In the first three weeks of the plan, diners claimed 64 million meals (the population of the UK is 67 million).  

    Zoom out: Some industry boosters say success is more than just numbers, it’s about mindset. The incentive lured people out of their homes and got them to start participating in the economy again. Almost 40% of people who used the subsidy said it was the first time they ate out since restaurants reopened, according to a hospitality trade group. 

    But this story is a lot like a restaurant meal—the bill always arrives at the end. Business Insider crunched the numbers and determined that the incentive cost the government $567 million over the course of the month. 

    Looking ahead...restaurants still face impending doom from cold weather, deferred rent payments, and capacity limits. But many found the “Eat Out to Help Out” scheme so valuable that they’re going to continue the discount on their own dime.
