Dirty Harry's and Dirty Sarah's Paradise

Product Information

Scottish Widows, the UK pension fund, cited this concern in March when it announced a strategy of environmental, social and governance divestment. This includes not investing in any company that derives more than 10 per cent of its revenue from tobacco or 5 per cent from thermal coal and tar sands. Pressure from investors, regulators and consumers could, it said, turn such operations into stranded assets. A few proponents of divestment have moved into the political arena. Brooks points to the election of Chloe Maxmin, a Democratic senator, who co-founded Divest Harvard. In 2020 she unseated a Republican in Maine with a promise to introduce a green new deal. “She led the push to get the state pensions fund to divest from fossil fuels,” he says. “So we have legislators who cut their teeth on the divestment movement and [who] are now part of government.” A change in the make-up of the board of directors was the goal of Engine No. 1, a US investment firm that campaigned to push ExxonMobil to move to a lower-carbon model. It won three board seats after a battle in which it said the oil company’s focus on fossil fuels put it at “existential risk”.

Those that favour divestment at scale argue that this creates the moral opprobrium needed to prompt policymakers to introduce tougher regulation. The divestment movement also unites people around action on climate change, says Richard Brooks, climate finance director at Stand.earth, a Canadian campaign group.The divestment approach is very much a last step but at the same time we want to show that we’re serious,” says Fionna Ross, a senior analyst in ESG at Abrdn. “If these things are not achieved, we will ultimately divest from that company.”

There are but a few great second acts, but for those that can deliver in style, the applause lingers long after the curtain comes down and the critics have put down the sword…” Pity he never caught Atomic Kittens version of Tide is High!! ShareAction, which campaigns for responsible investment, is among those to call for a nuanced approach. “It has been a hot debate for about a decade but it has not advanced very far,” says Catherine Howarth, its chief executive. “There are still endless conferences where the panel discussion is ‘Engagement versus divestment — which works?’ It is such a false dichotomy.” If we don’t see companies stepping up to the plate to change their business, we’re going to make investment decisions . . . that could lead to divesting,” says Carol Geremia, president of MFS, an active manager based in Boston. “We do have timeframes that we’re explicit around.” Dirty Sarah σε μια κουζίνα. Αν δει κάτι που μπορεί να χωρέσει στο μουνί ή στον κώλο ενός μάγειρα, ξέρετε ότι θα το δοκιμάσει. Και αμέσως μόλις βγάλει το αγγούρι από αυτόν τον σφιχτό κώλο, το παίρνει χαλαρά. Στη Σάρα αρέσει επίσης να απολαμβάνει τη διασκέδαση με το τεντωμένο μουνί της, έτσι αφήνει τους σκλάβους τους να τη γροθιάσουν στο μουνί της και να της φάνε τον βρώμικο κώλο της στην κουζίνα. His comment is an indication of the types of institutions that have embraced divestment. By far the largest group is faith-based organisations, which represent more than 35 per cent of the total, according to a database of divestment commitments maintained by Stand.earth in partnership with 350.org. Next are educational institutions (15 per cent), philanthropic foundations (12.5 per cent) and pension funds (12 per cent).Bohemia is, after all, a land where for- mer dissidents still hang colour pho- tographs of Ronald Reagan on their walls, and decorate their bedrooms with large American flags. The Czechs cheered Rea- gan's much denigrated 'Evil Empire' speech. They knew from personal experi- ence just what he was talking about. Start spouting off about the wonders of socialism to people who suffered 44 years of the real thing and their eyes pop, their faces red- den, their fists clench. That body has been in place for several years now and to have a record like that points to the difficulty with relying on an engagement-only strategy, particularly with fossil fuel companies,” says Brooks. Anne Simpson agrees. “We must keep our eyes on the prize, which is the real economy,” says the global head of sustainability at Franklin Templeton, the asset manager. “The question is are you trying to transform the economy or are you trying to come up smelling of roses in your own portfolio?” Directors care deeply about the vote they receive. That definitely does send a message,” says Mastagni. “So you’ll see an increase from Calstrs in terms of the number of directors that we’re not supporting.” For others divestment is not an option. “The question is not whether your heart is in the right place but whether you will have any impact on the problem you are trying to solve,” says Simpson. “That’s where the divestment case on equities is found wanting.”

Also included is a dinner party, with Milan (Roberto Malone, whose role is fleshed out in Part Two) and his girl Valerie (striking but poorly moniker-ed Sandrine Van Herpe) among the invitees. It's an excuse for various sexual pairings which take up a lot of running time. This is particularly true for the divestment movement since it can be hard to disentangle the effect of an advocacy campaign from other forces that might have pushed companies to change behaviour or governments to introduce new policies. Asset owners have begun to understand the power they wield through bond investments. In 2020, for example, Lothian Pension Fund launched an approach it called “engage your equities, deny your debt”. This included a refusal to supply new funding — whether through new bond issuance or new equity issuance — to companies whose strategies were not aligned with the Paris Agreement treaty on climate change. The essence of Dirty Harry is to put on a show Blondie would give the nod to and in true punk style we can embrace any sort of venue, function or odd request so feel free to test us out. James describes the changes at Exxon as “dramatic”. “They have gone from talking about net zero pledges as beauty contests to actually making net zero pledges,” he says. “Before the campaign, there wasn’t a business strategy where carbon was anything other than a byproduct of their oil and gas activities. Today managing carbon is one of the three pillars of their business.”If the Czechs don't want to hear about the glories of communism, they want even less to hear about the evils of capitalism. In Bohemia today, there are probably more free enterprisers per square mile than in the state of Massachusetts, and they don't need Dirty Sarah's big sisterly protection against big, bad American capi- talists. Bohemian entrepreneurs are quite capable of taking American businessmen to the cleaners before breakfast. Who's naive here? Czech businessmen, honed by years of attempting to beat the communist system, will be outdone by no one in shrewdness.

Dilşad Prague HER NAME is Sarah and she's a sour- faced feminist drab from California, a Molly Yardesque ugly-on-purpose young Malcontent, now working for an English- language newspaper in Prague. Her favourite comment to men is, 'You haven't got a clue!' My beautiful, saucy and smart- as-a-whip Czech pal Eva calls her 'Dirty Sarah' because of her grubby appearance. Eva, apparently, does have a clue. Dirty Sarah detests Eva because Eva Proudly wears partially unbuttoned blous- es, no bra and microskirts with no panties underneath. If that weren't bad enough, Eva hates the communists, who persecuted her dissident father and prevented her from going to a good university. It also bothers Dirty Sarah that Eva laughs a lot (she has the Bohemian's lascivious and Ironic sense of humour), smokes cigarettes and likes to pop out every once in a while for a shot of Becherovka, the potent Bohemian liqueur made from herbs and the spring waters of the Karlsbad spa Where Beethoven and Schiller, among oth- ers, came to take the waters. In short, Eva Is a typical Prague girl in a town where Nana Trump look-alikes are a dime a dozen.

The fossil fuel divestment movement, however, is driven more by politics than economics, inspired by campaigns such as the one that focused on ending apartheid in South Africa. Rather than take down any one corporation or raise the cost of capital for targeted companies, the idea is to stigmatise them, putting pressure on policymakers to introduce restrictive legislation, says Brett Fleishman, head of finance campaigning at 350.org.While proponents of both divestment and engagement often hold strong views, the choice between one and the other is starting to give way to more nuanced strategies that use both — and add the threat of denial of funding to the mix. Some want to move away from a dualistic debate. More can be achieved, they say, by looking at which strategy to use and when, by combining approaches and tailoring strategies to different asset classes, sectors and types of investments. As investors become more interested in using their money to put the global economy on to a more sustainable, equitable footing, some say they should not be bound by a binary choice between divestment and engagement, but should apply different strategies to different asset classes. We are in the foothills of a very long climb,” says Simpson, who is a member of the CA100+ global steering committee.
