    A new EU disclosure rule that will have a global impact with Latham & Watkins’ Toon Dictus

    Just as US-based multinationals are moving on from the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s decision around carbon disclosures with at least some measure of certainty, they will now need to turn to Europe and its Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. The CSDDD is a proposed European Union (EU) regulation aimed at environmental and human rights issues. The directive obligates large EU companies, as well as non-EU companies operating in the EU, to identify, prevent, mitigate, and account for adverse environmental and human rights impacts throughout their supply chains. In this episode of the podcast week speak with Toon Dictus and associate with the law firm Latham & Watkins in London about the directive and how it could impact U.S companies operating in the EU.

    Private credit and jumping into a dark debt market with Harvard’s Jared Ellias

    Over the past year the private credit market has gained a strong foothold in borrowing, muscling banks out of the syndicated and traditional C&I loan market and even spiriting corporates out of issuing bonds. Borrower benefits for these fund-driven debt deals are numerous, including faster execution and tailored terms. But while private debt deals aren’t new, their rapid takeover of corporate borrowing brings up a host of risk and long-tail issues for debtors and regulators. In this episode of the FEI Weekly podcast we speak with Jared Ellias, of Harvard Law school, who discusses his research into private credit and what it means for corporate debt issues now and in the future.

    ESG Controllership and making something new with Mastercard's Tarynn Zenk

    Financial Executives International was founded nearly a century ago as a community of like-minded professionals focused on developing the role of the financial controller. Today, the profession is going through another accelerated transformation with the development of the ESG controller role that requires new skills and metrics to match against stakeholder demands that are rapidly changing. The Financial Education and Research Foundation, or FERF, is kicking off a series of conversations with ESG controllers and other thought leaders in the ESG finance space, focusing on how these leaders are adapting to the challenge. These conversations, along with a survey and other interviews, will ultimately result in a new research study on ESG controllers by FERF. In this first conversation I spoke with MasterCard's, ESG controller Tarynn Zenk. Tarynn leads the team responsible for reporting integrity over MasterCard's ESG disclosures and KPIs that measure progress towards the organization's ESG goals.

    How to think about China, conflict and “fears of the future” with The University of Virginia’s Dale Copeland

    If there’s been a consistent theme of disruption in an era of disruption over the past decade it’s the US relationship in China. Shutdowns, trade battles and now real threats of force are being ratcheted up on both sides. For financial executives tasked with managing supply chains and forecasting overseas markets, the threat of global conflict puts everything on the balance sheet in doubt. But there is a broader historical context for today’s China worries that can help put the current conflicts in context and lay out a path to forecasting the future. In this episode of the FEI Weekly podcast we speak with Dale Copeland, Professor of international relations at the University of Virginia and author of “A World Safe for Commerce”, a new book that reveals how trade and commerce has defined America's foreign policy – and often its military actions – and how contemporary challenges with Russia and China can be thought about in that lens. Join FEI Copeland's "A World Safe for Commerce" Special Guest: Dale Copeland.
