    The Greenhouse Gas Protocol has become the de facto market standard for measuring and reporting carbon emissions.

On this week’s episode of ESG Currents, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior ESG Analyst Rob Du Boff speaks with Amy Brachio, CEO of Carbon Measures, to discuss why product-level intensity standards may help improve business decision-making for the climate transition.

    Inside the RFP - Expectations for Asset Managers

    Sustainability is moving beyond high-level ESG rhetoric and becoming more embedded in how investment mandates and RFPs are structured — but what is actually changing in practice? In this episode of the ESG Currents podcast, Sarika Goel, global head of sustainable investment manager research at Mercer, joins Bloomberg Intelligence Senior ESG Analyst Shaheen Contractor to unpack how sustainability expectations are shifting within investment mandates and manager selection. They explore how ESG requirements are being reframed — and where expectations are tightening or softening. The discussion also examines how these shifts are influencing portfolio construction, from integration to thematic allocations and private markets exposure, as well as regional differences in mandates. Finally, they consider what has remained consistent despite the noise and what the next generation of mandates may look like. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
