We call this ESGP. You can also call it just good business strategy. Reducing negative impacts through ESG and creating positive impact by acting according to a best-practice Purpose. A net-gain for people and planet. Protecting value at risk and creating value – real value, for all stakeholders. ESG isn’t a siloed data reporting exercise and Purpose is not a brand exercise. Together they are a strategy for impact.

Beginning with major research* by Said Business School, University of Oxford, which revealed how strongly institutional investors want to see Purpose and ESG integrated at company Board level, and in partnership with AI and data solutions firm Insig.ai, Blurred has created its own proprietary methodology for assessing and scoring how well a public company integrates ESG and Purpose, in terms of narrative, foundations and governance.

Our initial report in to The Impact Gap, which assessed the entire FTSE100, was published in April 2023 and can be downloaded here. The full slideshow from our launch presentation is viewable at the bottom of this page.

Headline findings of our research include:

Less than half of FTSE100 businesses demonstrate progress towards best-practice Purpose

Market leaders are not who you might think: FMCG brands are laggards when it comes to Purpose and ESGP integration; mining and manufacturing companies lead the way

Larger market-cap companies under-index on Purpose communication

The average FTSE100 business scores just 5.5/10 on ESG and Purpose integration

I wonder if hazl keeps a diary hidden away in one of these threads.

A reading along those lines would be much lower than the CPI’s June 2022 peak of 9.1% but still well above the Fed’s 2% target rate.

On Thursday, the Producer Price Index, which tracks the average change in prices that businesses pay to suppliers, is expected to show an annual increase of 1.2%, up from 0.8% last month.

If inflation readings this week come in below those estimates, that could signal to traders that the Fed has hit its peak interest rate and will not hike further, said Jason Pride and Michael Reynolds of Glenmede, an investment and private wealth management firm. But if inflation proves stronger than expected, additional rate hikes could come later this year leading to more market indecision and volatility.

Financial markets see more than a 90% chance that Fed officials will vote for a pause at their policy meeting on Sept. 19-20, according to the CME FedWatch tool, but investors’ bets of another pause in November are lower, at around 54%.

A resilient labor market and forecasts of strong economic growth this quarter mean that inflation may stay higher for longer, prompting more fears that additional Fed rate hikes are on the way

I have to say that most will simply scroll past boards where one poster continues to post to themselves .
Unless it is relevant info or an archive thread , eg my “ drunken loser “ thread on RKH where I place all Gozzas bilious posts for all to see .

Hazl, if you lose to Millstone or ( Millen ) as you put it , the name HAZL will be black marked.
It’s impossible to regain one’s reputation once BLACK MARKED .

Andrada Mining (“ATM”) has released assay results for the first batch of Reverse Circulation (”RC”) exploration drilling results undertaken at the ATNN01 – ATNN14 pegmatites, within licence ML133, also known as the Lithium Ridge Project. Situated ~35km SE of ATM’s flagship Uis Mine, an exploration drilling programme comprised of 24 RC drill holes was implemented to investigate the continuation of selected outcropping lithium-enriched pegmatites at depth. The programme yields ~800 chemical analysis samples with the results of the first 14 holes, comprising ~400 samples reported in the recent announcement. The programme was designed to investigate the subsurface morphology and metal endowment of pegmatites containing elevated lithium values at the surface. Results confirm lithium mineralisation along the 4km strike distance covered and indicate intersections at higher lithium grades compared to those at Uis (~0.72%) with a weighted average grade of ~1.06% Li2O. Weighted average tantalum grades of ~79ppm were in line with Uis’ ~86ppm. The company’s offsite metallurgical programme has shown the ability to produce a saleable petalite concentrate from Lithium Ridge. Together with the ongoing commissioning of the lithium pilot plant at Uis, balance sheet de-risking post recent convertible note and bank loan financings, and a strategic process still to be concluded to select a funding partner to participate in the acceleration of the Company's lithium development, we believe the 78% discount to our GBp 33/sh target price should continue to close. More evidence of potential for Lithium Ridge to supplement Uis petalite output Out of the 14 holes covered in the announcement, highlights include ATNN 08, which intersected 14m at 1.80% Li2O, 0.08% Sn and 70 ppm Ta from a depth of 8m, including an 11m subinterval at 2.13% Li2O, and hole ATNN 02 which intersected 27 m at 1.24% Li2O, 0.14% Sn and 116 ppm Ta from a depth of 31m to 58m. License ML133 is situated along the D1903 road linking to the B2 highway and sits within ‘truckableR17; distance from existing processing facilities at Uis, where a pilot lithium circuit has been constructed. The company expects the remaining 10 drilling holes to show similar results in line with the channel samples over the remaining 2km mineralised strike distance. With successful results achieved through the programme, it is probable that ATM will undertake further drilling initiatives aiming to establish a JORC-compliant resource within this area of the licence in future. Lithium pilot plant commissioning being “finalisedR21; As detailed in our June 12th upgrade note, ATM produced the first saleable bulk lithium concentrate from the off-site pilot test, processing material from Lithium Ridge using dense medium separation ("DMS"). This petalite concentrate is being tested for conversion to lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide. Additional beneficiation steps available to ATM include froth flotation and sensor-

NEW YORK – Genedrive announced on Thursday that its point-of-care pharmacogenomic test to determine treatment response in stroke patients has received UK Conformity Assessed marking registration.

The Genedrive CYP2C19 System can be used to determine which stroke patients are likely to respond to clopidogrel treatment by testing for six genetic variants of the CYP2C19 gene that affect the loss of metabolism function and poor activation of clopidogrel, the company said in a statement. The system automatically interprets information for the clinician and returns results in about one hour from a cheek swab sample.

"The use of point-of-care testing allows patients to be put on an optimized treatment plan as quickly as possible," Genedrive CEO David Budd said in a statement. "The risk of recurrent stroke in the week after a [transient ischemic attack] or minor stroke is up to 10 percent, so routine laboratory testing which can take many days or weeks is unlikely to be as appropriate as a point-of-care solution returning results in about one hour."

In performance evaluations, the test was 99 percent accurate in detecting the variants that affect loss of metabolism function, the company said. The UKCA marking will allow the company to begin commercializing the test in the UK and engaging in the DEVOTE program, which will generate further data in an acute care setting, it added. The expanded dataset is required to submit the test for CE marking, which is expected in the first half of 2024.

Draft guidance from the UK's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence released earlier this year recommended that people who have had an ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack should have a CYP2C19 genetic test before receiving treatment. The final recommendations are expected to be released in December, which Genedrive said it expects to drive momentum for adoption of its test.

The UK-based point of care molecular diagnostics company announced has secured UKCA marking registration for its Genedrive CYP2C19 System, a rapid genetic test that can identify how patients will respond to the common anti-platelet drug clopidogrel that is used to help prevent secondary strokes.
