Companies that want to meet their environmental and social goals need strong governance to do it. Good governance can help companies narrow the gap between their ESG goals and their performance. Improving governance measures can help companies close the gaps between their stated goals around environmental, social, and governance performance and what they're accomplishing, said Jennifer Steinmann, global sustainability and climate practice leader at Deloitte. Caroline Roan, chief sustainability officer at Pfizer, said good governance does more than show whether a company is abiding by its commitments. "That would really help organizations."

By Beth PinskerIf you search for the best available high-yield savings offers, it can be hard to tell whether what you see advertised is being offered by an actual bank. High-yield savings accounts offer a much higher return for customers on savings than the national average, although there’s no fixed scale. What should you look for in a high-yield savings offer? What is FDIC insurance and why is it important for high-yield savings accounts? Which banks can I trust for a high-yield savings account?

Business leaders have a platform readily available to support their own organizations' climate transformation efforts, engage their employees in meaningful action, and help further external organizations' steps to fight climate change. So how can CxOs become climate changemakers and help tip the scales in favor of our planet's life span? And with CxOs reporting feeling increased pressure from these stakeholder groups around climate action, transparency on measuring progress and meeting goals are even more crucial. However, CxOs should find a compelling way to communicate these less obvious but highly effective sustainability actions. Clear, authentic, and frequent communication — backed up by real commitment and progress — is central to all four steps in becoming a climate changemaker.

Sursa foto: AFPSTUDIU: Femeile care lucrează resimt presiune mai mare de la declanşarea pandemiei, din cauza responsabilităţilor casnicePresiunea pe care o resimt femeile care lucrează cu normă întreagă a crescut semnificativ de la declanşarea pandemiei de COVID-19, în contextul în care acestea se confruntă cu mai multe responsabilităţi casnice (65%) şi cu un volum total de muncă mai mare (33%), arată un studiu Deloitte la nivel global. Mamele care lucrează au raportat responsabilităţi suplimentare legate de îngrijirea copiilor (58%) şi de educaţie, în contextul şcolii online (53%). Aproximativ 82% dintre participantele la studiu spun că rutina zilnică le-a fost perturbată de pandemie. Dintre acestea, 70% sunt îngrijorate cu privire la modul în care aceste schimbări le-ar putea influenţa capacitata de a avansa în carieră. În contextul pandemiei, multe femei şi-au exprimat loialitatea faţă de angajatorii actuali, o treime dintre ele (32%) plănuind să rămână la actualul loc de muncă între doi şi cinci ani, iar 30%, mai mult de cinci ani.

Fear of the stock market, an over-reliance on Roth retirement accounts, and savings mistakes are the biggest issues. We talked to a few financial planners about money mistakes they see millennials making, and some advice on how to change things. Roth retirement accounts are a useful way to save for retirement, but they might not be the best option for millennials. Money you put into a Roth account is taxed now, whereas money you put into a 401(k) or traditional IRA is taxed in retirement. You can request that your employer deposit 30%, for example, into your savings account and the remaining 70% into your checking account.

Sunt sigur că la fel a fost și pentru celelalte companii. Dar, la fel de importantă a fost și comunitate noastră, pentru că suntem nimic fără de oamenii care fac parte din ea. Pentru noi, cei de la Crunch Roll, adaptarea la noua normalitate marcată de Covid-19 a fost o adevărată provocare. Cu privire la tehnologii, însă, tranziția către această lume a fost, pe cât de spontană, pe atât de necesară.

Rata a fost convenită într-un aranjament făcut anterior cu fostul soţ al artistei, regretatul Réne Angélil, şi continuat de managerul Aldo Giampaolo. După ce Giampaolo a fost concediat, noul management al ei l-a concediat pe Prinz când acesta a refuzat să îi fie redus procentajul. Céline Dion a susţinut că Prinz era plătit prea mult şi a dus cazul în faţa tribunalului. „Nu spun că domnul Prinz nu a făcut nimic, dar primeşte mult mai mult pentru cariera mea decât merită. Rick Levy, avocatul ICM, a lăudat decizia curţii şi a spus că Prinz a reprezentat-o pe artistă în mod exemplar.

☆ A day in the life of a 'billionaire's magician,' who's hired to fly around the world and entertain the elite

Dan Chan has branded himself as the "billionaire's magician" — he's performed globally for the ultra-rich and their families and friends, commanding top rates for magic shows. I've been on private yachts and flown around the world to entertain celebrities, three-star Michelin-rated chefs, athletes, and movie stars. We sometimes perform together with him in charge of the kids while I entertain the adults. Corporate clients can often pay more because it's a tax write-off to entertain their staff, which helps them build their empire. For billionaire clients that hire you to entertain at a private party, the dynamic is different.

По оценкам Международного энергетического агентства (МЭА), инвестиции в сланцевую добычу в этом году рухнут более чем вдвое — до 45 миллиардов долларов. Прогноз международного консалтингового агентства Rystad Energy — около 67 миллиардов долларов в этом году. Дальше — большеКак указывает Financial Times, в первом квартале крупнейшие независимые сланцевые компании зафиксировали рекордные совокупные убытки в размере 26 миллиардов долларов. Тогда 70 компаний объявили о финансовой несостоятельности, однако они были мелкими и оставили после себя в общей сложности 56 миллиардов долларов долга. По прогнозу аналитиков, до конца следующего года разорятся 250 компаний, если цены на нефть не подтянутся до нужного уровня.
