waste and fu","content":"<p>Andy Jassy, the incoming Amazon CEO, needs to improve labor relations, reduce packaging waste and further its climate goals if it wants to be a world-leading company from an environmental, social and governance perspective.</p>\n<p>Indeed, Amazon’s&nbsp;role model could be Apple,which advocates say has become a sustainability leader among megacap stocks.</p>\n<p>Amazon is starting to make strong operational strides such as investing in electric vehicles for its fleet and running data centers on renewable energy, but remains a laggard in other key ESG pillars such as workplace issues, racial and diversity inclusion and has more work to do on carbon reduction, say ESG advocates. Because of that, only a handle of ESG exchange-traded funds and mutual funds own the company.</p>\n<p>Outgoing CEO Jeff Bezos, the founder of the e-commerce giant, has “actually done the hard stuff, the hardest stuff being operations,” says Andrew Behar, CEO of As You Sow, a nonprofit shareholder advocacy group. “On other issues, though, he’s completely not even thinking about them.”</p>\n<p>Bezos will retain an influential position in the company as executive chairman and one of its largest shareholders. Jassy, the new CEO, is now the head of Amazon Web Services, the company’s cloud-computing business.</p>\n<p>Inhis letter to Amazon’s workforce, Bezos tried to burnish his ESG credentials:</p>\n<p>“As Amazon became large, we decided to use our scale and scope to lead on important social issues. Two high-impact examples: our $15 minimum wage and theClimate Pledge. In both cases, we staked out leadership positions and then asked others to come along with us. In both cases, it’s working. Other large companies are coming our way. I hope you’re proud of that as well.”</p>\n<p>Natasha Lamb, managing partner at Arjuna Capital, a sustainable and impact investment firm focusing on workplace issues for women and people of color, disputes Bezos’ claim of being a leader in these two areas, saying that there was great pressure on the company to increase worker pay and to sign the climate pledge.</p>\n<p>“He is not the poster child of the American dream, but of what is eating America alive, which is growing inequality,” she says.</p>\n<p>Amazonincreasedthe minimum wage to $15 in 2018 after years of criticism that it mistreated and underpaid workers, and the company caughtflakfor what workers said were poor health conditions in the pandemic. It is also fightinga unionization attempt at a warehouse in Alabama.</p>\n<p>Emanuele Colonnelli, an assistant professor of finance at the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business who has done ESG research, agrees with Lamb. “A lot of the most promising steps toward ESG seem reactionary, as they have been taken only recently, at a moment in which regulatory and public pressure reached sky-high levels that became impossible to ignore,” he says.</p>\n<p>Although Amazon installed a higher minimum wage,MSCI&nbsp;considers the company a laggard when it comes to corporate behavior and labor management. Overall, MSCI gives Amazon a BBB rating, saying it is average for companies in the retail-consumer discretionary space.</p>\n<p>Lamb says Amazon has become what Walmartwas in the 1990s, criticized for shuttering small businesses. During the coronavirus, “everybody has become so reliant on Amazon, and those patterns are sticky. It has grave implications for small business.”</p>\n<p>Colonnelli says Amazon’s monopoly power can’t be denied and should be at the core of its ESG considerations. “It will be up to Jassy – and Bezos of course- to decide whether they want to be driving the change toward a business model that is less prone to anti-competitive practices, and therefore lead to a more equitable allocation of rents,” he says.</p>\n<p><b>A ‘real opportunity’ to be a leader</b></p>\n<p>Behar says As You Sow has interviewed Amazon employees and says the company has a “real opportunity” to be a leader on human capital management, such as increasing hourly employee wages, improving health care benefits, especially during the pandemic, and paid leave, as well as improving efforts around diversity equity inclusion.</p>\n<p>Lamb says with a new CEO coming on board, she wants greater clarity about defining gender and racial pay equity and to address diversity as a whole, noting that there are very few women and people of color in the company’s upper ranks. She says other shareholders are asking for a racial equity audit and for a worker representative on the board of directors, “which I think would be helpful.”</p>\n<p><b>Climate inroads</b></p>\n<p>When it comes to its climate pledge, Amazon is making some inroads. BloombergNEF said Amazon was the leading corporate buyer of clean energy in 2020, signing 35 separate clean energy power-purchasing agreements, totaling 5.1 gigawatts of power. BNEF says Amazon has now purchased over 7.5GW of clean energy to date, pushing it ahead of Alphabet GOOGL at 6.6GW and Facebook FB at 5.9GW as the world’s largest clean-energy buyer.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f08942b5eaf8d39eb7fe60ce0ba75c91\" tg-width=\"620\" tg-height=\"432\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Garvin Jabush, chief investment officer at Green Alpha Advisors, says Amazon’s investments in renewable energy and its $440 million&nbsp;investment&nbsp;in electric-truck start up Rivian are all impressive starts, but the company has a long way to go.</p>\n<p>Green Alpha Advisors doesn’t own Amazon because Jabush says it is still a large contributor to climate risk; he noted the company saw a 15% increase in carbon dioxide&nbsp;emissions&nbsp;in 2019.

Behar says it is trying to work with the e-commerce giant to reduce waste, noting the company could emulate Best Buy’s&nbsp;take-back program to recycle electronic waste. This could become a sustainable money maker by recouping the copper, gold and silver in used electronic parts, he says.</p>\n<p>Reducing plastic waste is also critical since Amazon is a big user of packaging. Amazon has reduced Styrofoam usage, but “they could commit to zero plastic in two to three years from now and it would make a big difference,” he says.</p>\n<p>Jabush says it’s always a debate at his firm each year about whether to buy Amazon because it is “a phenomenal business,” but he says until it reduces its climate impact, he won’t buy it. But with a new CEO, there’s an opportunity for change, Jabush says, pointing to how Tim Cook changed Apple after taking over from Steve Jobs.</p>\n<p>“Sustainability was low on their priority list, and Tim Cook has made Apple into by far the most sustainable megacap in the world right now,” he says.</p>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

But with a new CEO, there’s an opportunity for change, Jabush says, pointing to how Tim Cook changed Apple after taking over from Steve Jobs.\n“Sustainability was low on their priority list, and Tim Cook has made Apple into by far the most sustainable megacap in the world right now,” he says.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":765,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":317352284,"gmtCreate":1612421067848,"gmtModify":1703761597339,"author":{"id":"3567116034185386","authorId":"3567116034185386","name":"Petrina","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/58cd6dfede27ff3ce1f10d7c3ba38438","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3567116034185386","idStr":"3567116034185386"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;","listText":"&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;","text":"[开心]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/317352284","repostId":"1198883855","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1198883855","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1612407577,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1198883855?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-04 10:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What are the challenges facing Biden's electric vehicle program?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1198883855","media":"marketwatch","summary":"President Biden may be winning points with environmentalists, renewable-energy champions and U.S. allies abroad for his serious approach to slowing global warming, but his electric-vehicle plan has some practical challenges when applied across all 50 states.Transportation isthe largest source of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, which is why electric-vehicle adoption is a cornerstone of President Joe Biden’s ambitious climate-change plan.Biden may be winning points with some consumers, environmenta","content":"<p>President Biden may be winning points with environmentalists, renewable-energy champions and U.S. allies abroad for his serious approach to slowing global warming, but his electric-vehicle plan has some practical challenges when applied across all 50 states.</p><p>Transportation isthe largest source of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, which is why electric-vehicle adoption is a cornerstone of President Joe Biden’s ambitious climate-change plan.</p><p>Biden may be winning points with some consumers, environmentalists, renewable-energy champions and allies abroad for his serious approach to slowing emissions, but his electric-vehicle initiative has some practical implementation challenges: states have varying barriers to entry.</p><p>Biden via executive order has said he will replace the U.S. government’s fleet of roughly 650,000 vehicles with electric models and encourage a broader national shift to electric cars, including installing 500,000 new electric vehicle charging stations across the country.</p><p>But states and cities have their own hot-and-cold political climate toward EVs and, for instance, some areas have sharply raised registration fees on EVs as an offset for lost tax revenue tied to gasoline purchases.</p><p>EVs tend to have lower lifetime ownership costs because of low fueling and maintenance expenses.

Bloomberg reported on Wednesday that Ant has agreed to become a financial holding company, making it subject to capital requirements similar to those for banks.</p>\n<p>Consumer credit has been crucial in driving growth at Ant’s digital finance business, which contributed 63% of the firm’s revenue in the first half of 2020 before the authorities unleashed a barrage of rules to curb the country’s booming financial technology industry. Regulators also want to prevent any <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> firm from becoming too dominant.</p>\n<p>The regulators upended a $35 billion initial public offering by Ant Group in November, stunning investors from Shanghai to New York. In a conference call with investors on Tuesday, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. Chief Executive Officer Daniel Zhang said there is “substantial uncertainty” with Ant’s business and it is difficult to assess the impact of the new regulations. Alibaba owns a third of Ant and both were founded by billionaire Jack Ma.</p>\n<p>Ant declined to comment. The China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission didn’t immediately respond to a request seeking comment.</p>\n<p>Among the hardest-hitting for Ant was the proposal to impose additional capital requirements on microlenders and demand that fintech platforms put up at least 30% of the funding for loans that are jointly offered with banks. Before the proposal, only about 2% of the more than 1.7 trillion yuan ($263 billion) in loans remained on Ant’s balance sheet, with the bulk of funding coming from its about 100 bank partners.</p>\n<p>Ant needs to inject at least 70 billion yuan of new capital just for its credit-lending business to comply with the regulation, according to a November estimate by Francis Chan, a senior analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence in Hong Kong.</p>\n<p>Liang Tao, vice chairman of the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, said last month recent measures weren’t aimed at any specific company and have been well received by some in the industry. Some of the firms have a “relatively positive attitude” toward the new requirements and have achieved “initial effects” in their “rectification” efforts, he said.</p>\n<p>Banks and insurers should continue to cooperate normally with internet platforms in compliance with laws and regulations and some lenders that have pulled back should correct their behavior, Liang said, without elaborating.</p>\n<p>Still, local banking regulators in provinces including Zhejiang and Hunan are urging banks that have relied heavily on Ant for client referrals and lending growth to cut back, said the people.</p>\n<p>“While the restructuring would bring Ant a step closer to relaunching its IPO, all its units face more restrictions on capital, leverage and product pricing, risking growth,” said Chan, who estimated Ant’s valuation may have fallen to below $108 billion from a $280 billion pre-money valuation ahead of its failed IPO.</p>\n<p></p>","source":"lsy1584095487587","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

But the higher initial purchase cost and lack of access to vehicle charging remain barriers for many households and fleet owners.</p><p>“Charging is the big challenge right now,” said Joe Wiesenfelder, executive editor at Cars.com. “People will want to charge at home, overnight, then unplug and drive. At-home charging doesn’t work in every home without modification. And once on the road and needing a charge, even fast-charging batteries aren’t as fast as the five minutes consumers are used to spending at a gas station.”</p><p>Still, well aware of the burgeoning policy and regulatory trend, several states, led by California, are taking comprehensive steps to help enable more residents and businesses to use and charge EVs. Other states notably have done less to reduce barriers to entry, according to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, in what it suggests is a first-of-its-kind&nbsp;report&nbsp;ranking states.</p><p>States that rate high in this particular report are mitigating obstacles by offering purchase incentives to buy EVs (on top of federal tax credits, which are up to $7,500 for select manufacturers, excluding TeslaTSLA,-2.07%,where credits have been phased out), adding more charging options and setting lower electric rates at preferred car-charging times.</p><p>California is the only state to set deadlines for electrifying transit buses, heavy trucks and commercial vehicles. The state is also one of the few to offer assistance for lower-income drivers replacing older, high-polluting cars with zero- or near-zero-emissions vehicles, and it plans to deploy chargers in economically distressed areas and communities with a history of environmental injustice.</p><p>California scored 91 out of 100 possible points. Other top finishers include New York; Washington, D.C.; Maryland; Massachusetts; Washington State; Vermont; Colorado; Oregon and New Jersey.</p><p>Twenty states earned 15 points or fewer.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fda572f679aec2a40d1fa93f5d4312dd\" tg-width=\"620\" tg-height=\"509\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Evaluation in the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy scorecard focuses on the states that have demonstrated some level of progress on transportation electrification. Unranked states achieved no more than 15% of the total available points.</p><p>According to the state rankings, the most common state actions to electrify transportation include planning for more EVs and EV charging options (23 states); incentives such as rebates, tax credits and grants to buy large electric pickups and delivery trucks (27 states); using federal funds to buy electric transit buses (48 states); utility programs that offer lower electric rates at preferred times for EV (Level 2) charging (36 states) and utility funding to spur EV and EV charging adoption in low-income areas and environmental justice communities (15 states).</p><p>Cars.com’s Wiesenfelder said the pursuit of more EVs on the road has historically been a “pull not a push,” meaning consumers aren’t yet in front and plans are subsidy-reliant.</p><p>Cars.com said that despite the positive momentum expected in the EV category this year, hybrids and EV searches made up less than 1% of total searches&nbsp;on&nbsp;its site in 2020, signaling a long road ahead for mainstream adoption.</p><p>Under Biden’sproposed aim for net-zero U.S. emissionsby no later than 2050, the EV share of passenger vehicle sales would have to hit at least 25% by 2026, with electric-car sales reaching 4 million per year,&nbsp; Bloomberg NEF analysts, led by Aleksandra O’Donovan, said inreportlate last year.</p><p>Undeniably market forces are changing, especially with tech companies such as AppleAAPLrumored to enter the market, and automakers like HyundaiKR:005380, FordFand GMGMannouncing plans to significantly invest and expand their EV platforms. GM last week saidit aspires to offer only electric vehicles in 15 yearson its way to become a carbon-neutral company by 2040.</p><p>How fast local governments and individuals make the upgrades remain a challenge to the federal agenda.</p><p>“The leading states are embracing this transition, but many more are just starting, even as the automakers are preparing a burst of new electric models,” said Bryan Howard, state policy director at the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.</p>","source":"lsy1603348471595","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

But the higher initial purchase cost and lack of access to vehicle charging remain barriers for many households and fleet owners.“Charging is the big challenge right now,” said Joe Wiesenfelder, executive editor at Cars.com. “People will want to charge at home, overnight, then unplug and drive. At-home charging doesn’t work in every home without modification. And once on the road and needing a charge, even fast-charging batteries aren’t as fast as the five minutes consumers are used to spending at a gas station.”Still, well aware of the burgeoning policy and regulatory trend, several states, led by California, are taking comprehensive steps to help enable more residents and businesses to use and charge EVs. Other states notably have done less to reduce barriers to entry, according to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, in what it suggests is a first-of-its-kind report ranking states.States that rate high in this particular report are mitigating obstacles by offering purchase incentives to buy EVs (on top of federal tax credits, which are up to $7,500 for select manufacturers, excluding TeslaTSLA,-2.07%,where credits have been phased out), adding more charging options and setting lower electric rates at preferred car-charging times.California is the only state to set deadlines for electrifying transit buses, heavy trucks and commercial vehicles. The state is also one of the few to offer assistance for lower-income drivers replacing older, high-polluting cars with zero- or near-zero-emissions vehicles, and it plans to deploy chargers in economically distressed areas and communities with a history of environmental injustice.California scored 91 out of 100 possible points. Other top finishers include New York; Washington, D.C.; Maryland; Massachusetts; Washington State; Vermont; Colorado; Oregon and New Jersey.Twenty states earned 15 points or fewer.Evaluation in the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy scorecard focuses on the states that have demonstrated some level of progress on transportation electrification. Unranked states achieved no more than 15% of the total available points.According to the state rankings, the most common state actions to electrify transportation include planning for more EVs and EV charging options (23 states); incentives such as rebates, tax credits and grants to buy large electric pickups and delivery trucks (27 states); using federal funds to buy electric transit buses (48 states); utility programs that offer lower electric rates at preferred times for EV (Level 2) charging (36 states) and utility funding to spur EV and EV charging adoption in low-income areas and environmental justice communities (15 states).Cars.com’s Wiesenfelder said the pursuit of more EVs on the road has historically been a “pull not a push,” meaning consumers aren’t yet in front and plans are subsidy-reliant.Cars.com said that despite the positive momentum expected in the EV category this year, hybrids and EV searches made up less than 1% of total searches on its site in 2020, signaling a long road ahead for mainstream adoption.Under Biden’sproposed aim for net-zero U.S. emissionsby no later than 2050, the EV share of passenger vehicle sales would have to hit at least 25% by 2026, with electric-car sales reaching 4 million per year,  Bloomberg NEF analysts, led by Aleksandra O’Donovan, said inreportlate last year.Undeniably market forces are changing, especially with tech companies such as AppleAAPLrumored to enter the market, and automakers like HyundaiKR:005380, FordFand GMGMannouncing plans to significantly invest and expand their EV platforms. GM last week saidit aspires to offer only electric vehicles in 15 yearson its way to become a carbon-neutral company by 2040.How fast local governments and individuals make the upgrades remain a challenge to the federal agenda.“The leading states are embracing this transition, but many more are just starting, even as the automakers are preparing a burst of new electric models,” said Bryan Howard, state policy director at the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":541,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":383477172,"gmtCreate":1612889354996,"gmtModify":1703766610707,"author":{"id":"3567116034185386","authorId":"3567116034185386","name":"Petrina","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/58cd6dfede27ff3ce1f10d7c3ba38438","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3567116034185386","authorIdStr":"3567116034185386"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[微笑]&nbsp;","listText":"[微笑]&nbsp;","text":"[微笑]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/383477172","repostId":"1176373590","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1176373590","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1612868893,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1176373590?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-09 19:08","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What new Amazon CEO Andy Jassy needs to do to become a leader in sustainability like Apple","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1176373590","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"Andy Jassy, the incoming Amazon CEO, needs to improve labor relations, reduce packaging waste and fu","content":"<p>Andy Jassy, the incoming Amazon CEO, needs to improve labor relations, reduce packaging waste and further its climate goals if it wants to be a world-leading company from an environmental, social and governance perspective.</p>\n<p>Indeed, Amazon’s&nbsp;role model could be Apple,which advocates say has become a sustainability leader among megacap stocks.</p>\n<p>Amazon is starting to make strong operational strides such as investing in electric vehicles for its fleet and running data centers on renewable energy, but remains a laggard in other key ESG pillars such as workplace issues, racial and diversity inclusion and has more work to do on carbon reduction, say ESG advocates.
