Everyone wants to do the right thing, especially when it comes to looking after the planet. Supporting Climakind provides a way for to have an impact in a positive way, a way that can help in the transition to a low-carbon future, a better future for all our children.
Being concerned about reducing our carbon footprint is necessary but it is not enough. To really help stop the severe consequences of climate change mankind needs to make deep cuts in the amount of carbon dioxide we pump into the atmosphere.
The world is already at breaking point.
The changing climate is everyone’s problem. We cannot wait for someone else to fix it. Governments are locked in a battle of scare mongering and stalling. Politics got in the way of an Australian framework to reduce emissions leaving little incentive for business to change their ways.
It is tragic to think that we know the risks of using fossil fuels but we move slowly to change our ways. A lot of people complain that it is a problem, but they are unsure what to do. What is the best way to reduce carbon emissions? Climakind provides a solution. Hearing Paul Gilding refer to cancelling carbon emission credits as the ‘most pure’ way to reduce emissions gives arms length credibility to the Climakind initiative.
Through initiatives such as Climakind we can have a real impact in the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by industry. By buying and cancelling carbon emission credits we are stealing away the rights of industry to emit carbon dioxide. The less carbon dioxide that industry are allowed to emit the faster they will have to find low-carbon alternatives. The quicker we shift to a low-carbon future.
Do more than a little bit to help stop damaging climate change. Be Climakind.

The name is intended to say it all: Bassike, a label of lust-worthy proportions born out of the simple desire to provide wardrobe staples that could be worn with ease (and a certain degree of non-chalance). The brainchild of close friends Deborah Sams and Mary Lou Ryan, it stepped onto the Antipodean design scene in July 2006.
From that point on, it has flourished; and what began as a breezy collection of organic cotton-jersey T-shirts, dresses and trousers has since rounded out into more softly tailored territory. The intention however, lives on: current, eternal and effortless, each piece is designed to work seperately but also in conjunction and although new styles have been added - namely wool, jersey, cotton shirting, denim and leather - beauty still belongs to the wearer. With Bassike, personal style resonates.
Three years on, the cult-label is stocked in premium retailers throughout Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the UK and Europe. It is also available through the online boutique.
Sustainable focus
Bassike is commited to a low carbon production. The clothing is manufactured locally and the material is organic.
Bassike is working with Climakind to develop a carbon management plan, EmissionsAware, to help reduce our demand on energy and the carbon emissions from operations.

I believe that climate change is THE most serious issue that humanity has ever faced.
The global temperature increase caused by our combined historical emissions is already approaching 1°C. We're already committed to a further global temperature increase; but by acting now it may be possible to keep the rise below 2°C. This is vital if we are to reduce the risk of catastrophic damage to the Earth's ecosystems. Deep cuts in emissions are urgently required: we must act NOW.
Tomorrow isn't just another day; it may be a day too late.
As well as being 'Climakind' I make efforts to reduce my own carbon emissions -- for instance, I have vowed never again to fly on a commercial airliner; I'll take the train and/or boat instead. I'm not asking you to do that; but I do ask you to consider what you might be able to do to help us all.
Please join me. Together we can make a difference.
I hope.

The New Normal for Australian Investors: Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) Integration.
Whether it is the over 90* Australian asset owners and fund managers who have signed the UN Principles for Responsible Investment, or the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations that explicitly mention sustainability issues, there is little doubt that a “new normal” in investing is emerging in Australia. In fact, one might say that it no longer is a question of who is or is not integrating ESG into their investment analysis, but who is doing the best job of it.
At the heart of this “new normal” is the need for objective, transparent and comparable ESG information that can be used to implement a full range of responsible investment strategies, including negative screening, best-in-class analysis, compliance and risk monitoring and engagement, as well as integration into mainstream analysis.
Come hear Henrik Steffensen, founder of ASSET4, a Thomson Reuters business. ASSET4 is the leading provider of objective and transparent ESG data and analysis tools.
Henrik will discuss:
+ Global and Australia-specific trends creating the new normal ASSET4 methodology, framework and data
+ Responsible investment strategies
+ Dynamic ESG ratings – a fundamental change in timeliness
+ Materiality and impact analysis – the next phase of ESG integration
As we move forward into the ”new normal”, come learn how to flexibly integrate ESG information into your investment strategies to improve performance and reduce risk. * the most asset owners and fund managers signatories of any country.
