As an individual, write a three-page paper (750-word count) on your Sustainability , excluding visuals. Please cite sources in tables, and in text. You may include any charts, graphs, visuals you like. Use grammar and spell check.
Your viewpoint for the paper can be : What the investor needs to know about _________(your MNC name) – is sustainability at the core of your international business firm?
Start your paper with an introduction that conveys your major story (one paragraph). Your paper will discuss the following themes in sections, based on your group presentation and research:
1. introduction
2. financial highlights
3. capital structure, including any green financing
4. sustainability focus
5. climate
6. management diversity at the board level
7. conclusion
Details
1. Have an introduction/background section that discusses the company’s global operations. What is their basic business? What are their main product revenues? Use a visual (bar chart). How has technology, inflation, and the pandemic and geopolitical tensions changed the company-according to the CEO’s annual letter?
2. In the financial highlights section, discuss the firm’s financial condition, including the important trends over the last three years and how your firm stacks up with a competitor.
A visual of revenue, margins and earnings growth is most helpful.
3. Have a section on your firm’s capital structure. Include any green financing if done.
4. Add a section on the firm’s sustainability focus. What did you identify as the most important sustainability focus for the firm? Is there a material issue for the firm’s industry
(ISSB)? Comment on the firm’s reporting for key UN SDG’s.
5. In the climate section, discuss the firm’s targets for emissions. Include key projects to attain carbon neutrality or other climate goals.
6. How diverse is your firm at the board level? At the executive level?
7. In the conclusion section, comment on your firm’s sustainability focus-are they transparent and do they integrate sustainability into their business responsibly for the
investor?
For each section use bold print to highlight your writing.
You can have your visuals in each section, or at the end.
Include a reference section at the end.
As we examined in class and with our guest speaker from S&P Global Ratings Ana Lai, I am including a prior article that highlights different types of green financing.
