I was thrilled to welcome so many of our partners and friends to this year’s Global Projects Exchange, which we co-hosted with Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) in New York.

This year, against the backdrop of a renewed global growth agenda and climate agreement, we set out to find ways to reinvent growth at the intersection of business and policy.

We explored opportunities within three action areas that we believe will be essential to growth that balances the needs of the few and the many, the present and the future, and humans and nature: the energy transition, long-term investing, and future-fit talent and skills. And not only are these areas essential, but progress within them will require new collaborations at that business-policy intersection. Collaborations among partners who do not usually work together.

We were very grateful to six leaders who stepped up to chair these working groups at the Exchange: Jeremy Bentham of Royal Dutch Shell; Jason Bordoff of SIPA’s Center on Global Energy and Policy; Antonio Simoes of HSBC Bank; Katherine Garrett-Cox of Alliance Trust; Per Heggenes of IKEA Foundation; and Remi Eriksen of DNV GL Group. Your guidance and vision have set a high bar. Now we must work together to deliver.

And we have already begun. Projects are of course the heart of the Global Projects Exchange – they are the means for us to experiment, learn and scale our impact. This year, we workshopped ten projects, including four that have been incubated by the inaugural class of the Leadership Vanguard. These projects, which range from a coalition to shift to cleaner marine fuels to a new index that ranks the world’s 500 more ‘future-fit’ corporations, show the breadth of our common mission and the depth of our shared commitment. I am very proud of them, and I look forward to many more such projects in the future.

After all, our bias for action is one of our most fundamental values. As our chairman Glen Moreno reminded us last year at the London Global Projects Exchange, “Talk is easy – action is hard”. And indeed, all around us we see examples of high ambition that is not matched by action. In the past six months alone, we’ve seen Volkswagen – the manufacturers of the ‘people’s car’ – admit to cheating emissions tests. We’ve seen the leadership of FIFA, the organisation that governs ‘the beautiful game’, mired in ethics investigations. As trust among business, government and civil society continues to erode, action has become the most important measure of leadership.

The challenges ahead of us are serious. But whether we are scientists or policymakers, advocates or engineers, I believe we have something in common – we are who we are because we take on serious challenges. And this is our time.

Whether you are a partner who is actively involved in our collaborative projects, attends our workshops and roundtables throughout the year and contributes to shaping the strategic direction of our work together, or whether you joined us for the first time in New York, I hope this Exchange offered you an opportunity to build the ideas, partnerships and projects that we need to reinvent growth.

We look forward to moving farther and faster together in 2016.

Felipe Calderón, former president of Mexico and chair of the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate, provided the Exchange’s opening keynote.

Calderón spoke about the urgent need to both spark economic growth, which will in turn help to alleviate poverty and inequality, and to address the consequences of climate change – which he described as “probably the most pressing or important problem on a planetary scale” today.

He closed with an example from his time as Mexico’s president, when he spearheaded a programme that allowed householders to switch their old appliances for new, energy-efficient models, thus illustrating that the intersection between business and policy is ripe with opportunities.

Felipe Calderón then joined: Hans-Ole Jochumsen, president of NASDAQ OMX; Walt Macnee, vice chairman of MasterCard Worldwide; and Lois Quam, chief operating officer of The Nature Conservancy in our first panel discussion on the new growth agenda.

Moderated by Xyntéo’s chief scientist Dr Gabrielle Walker, the panel asked how, as significant actors on the frontline of economic growth, global businesses can work together with policymakers to help drive prosperity for both people and planet.

The panellists each gave compelling examples of collaborations within and beyond their respective organisations, and a common theme was that growing our economy and dealing with climate change are not mutually exclusive – particularly if different actors from across business, policy and civil society work together.

PLENARY IN PICTURES PROFESSOR JEFFREY SACHS

Professor Jeffrey Sachs, director of Columbia University’s Earth Institute delivered a speech on the urgency of tackling climate change by every means necessary.

Professor Sachs ended saying there is hope in the form of non-state and state actors coming forward as well as business making lots of positive commitments to create change and leverage new opportunities.

He also perfectly teed-up our day-two closing panel by reminding us that this is about ‘the road through Paris’, not ‘the road to Paris’ – an important distinction in the Paris agreement being just the start of a new, critical phase of transformation that must involve government, business and civil society.

IT’S NOT A JOKE. THIS IS NOT A GAME. THIS IS THE ONLY PLANET WE HAVE. THIS ISN’T EXPERIMENTING WITH A LITTLE PIECE OF THE PLANET. THIS IS THE WHOLE STORY. AND WE KNOW ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT THIS IS SERIOUS, REALLY SERIOUS.”

PLENARY IN PICTURES PROFESSOR JOSEPH STIGLITZ

Leading American economist Joseph Stiglitz, university professor at Columbia University and co-president of the Initiative for Policy Dialogue, spoke about the intersection between climate change and problems of inequality before exploring the need to rewrite the rules that govern this intersection.

Since the financial crisis, Professor Stiglitz argued, most of our attention has focused on how we can prevent the financial sector from imposing harm on the rest of society in the form of excess risk-taking and market manipulation.

But, he argued, the real issue is that the financial market hasn’t been performing the functions we require it to do in intermediating between the savings and the investment needs of our society – the market’s greatest failure, in Professor Stiglitz’s eyes.

ONE ASPECT OF REWRITING THE RULES IS TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND HOW OUR LEGAL SYSTEM, OUR TAX SYSTEM, OUR WHOLE SOCIETY, HAS LED TO THIS SYSTEM OF SHORT-TERMISM ON THE FINANCIAL MARKETS, AND HOW THAT IS, IN TURN, UNDERMINING THE FUNCTIONING OF THE MARKET ECONOMY.”

PLENARY IN PICTURES LISA JACKSON

A highlight of the two-day Exchange was welcoming Lisa Jackson, vice president of environmental, policy and social initiatives for Apple. Having worked as a regulator, Ms Jackson provided a unique perspective on the opportunities for businesses to act now rather than wait on policy.

In conversation with Xyntéo’s chief scientist Dr Gabrielle Walker, Ms Jackson revealed how her childhood passions for math and science led to her studying chemical engineering in college and set her on the path towards environmental engineering and protecting the natural environment.

As well as sharing insights into Apple’s forward-leaning environmental, policy and social initiatives, Ms Jackson drew on her policy background as Administrator of the US Environmental Protection Agency, a position that she held from 2009 to 2013, to demonstrate how business and policymakers can work together to leverage new opportunities and reinforce the message that you don’t have to choose between a clean and healthy environment and a thriving economy.

PLENARY IN PICTURES PANEL: THE ROAD THROUGH PARIS

With the Global Projects Exchange being held just two weeks ahead of COP 21 in Paris, bringing together 25,000 delegates from 190 countries and drawing 50,000 attendees, much of our dialogue was focused around this important meeting.

Professor Merit E Janow, dean of the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) at Columbia University, moderated a panel discussion between: Mari Elka Pangestu, former Minister of Trade for Indonesia; David Sandalow, inaugural fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University; and Bjørn Otto Sverdrup, senior vice president of corporate sustainability at Statoil.

Professor Pangestu drew on lessons from Indonesia’s recent fires, to speak about the very real need to tackle these issues. She also discussed the challenges of coordinating policy at the national and local level.

Professor Sandalow then painted a positive picture of the USA’s engagement in COP21 and President Barack Obama’s clear intent to participate in meaningful change, despite the challenges presented by the US Congress, remaining optimistic that the USA would play an increasingly positive role. Finally, Mr Sverdrup articulated the need for oil and gas companies to reinvent themselves, and the role they hoped to play in the energy transition; a journey which Statoil has already begun.

SESSION 01 THE ENERGY TRANSITION INSIGHTS INTO BREAKOUT WORKSHOPS

The global energy system is undergoing the greatest upheaval in generations. The impacts of climate change are being felt more frequently and severely, exacerbated by surging energy use in emerging markets, with 1.3 billion people still lacking access to modern energy services.

Science and technology are unlocking new energy sources, from unconventional oil and gas resources to renewable and other clean energy technologies. And changes are afoot on the demand side as well, with new customer-centric and digitally-enabled services disrupting traditional business models. The altered dynamics between energy producers and empowered consumers are transforming the energy ecosystem and impacting geopolitics.

During this breakout session, participants asked: how can business, policymakers and stakeholders at community, national and international levels collaborate to define and accelerate a low-carbon energy transition?

Three collaborations were profiled:

✚ The digital future of energy

The impact of digital technology on the energy space is at the heart of a cross-sector project involving Xyntéo, EDP, ČEZ and Statkraft, which has seen the partners collaborate with future-orientated entrepreneurs and innovators from a range of industries including Amazon, Telenor, BT and IBM. The partners’ ambition is to identify new, digitally-enabled service or business model opportunities, and explore strategies for their rapid scaling, that can simultaneously yield growth and meet future societal needs.

✚ LNG marine fuel coalition

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is today’s cleanest hydrocarbon marine fuel. LNG-fuelled vessels generate almost no sulphur dioxide, much reduced nitrogen oxides and as much as 20 per cent less greenhouse gas than vessels powered by heavy fuel oil. However, first movers struggle with cost and uncertainty. To unlock the potential of LNG as a marine fuel, Xyntéo and Shell are working together to develop a multi-sector collaboration made up of high impact stakeholders from across the shipping value chain. Together, we can enable the global shipping industry to continue to play a powerful role in fuelling our future growth, without compromising the environment we depend on.

✚ The village of the future (a Leadership Vanguard initiative)

A third of the world’s population today have no access to dependable energy, with the vast majority living in the rural, developing world. Myanmar is a particular case in point: only about one third of people are connected to the electricity grid and only ten per cent are connected to a mobile or internet network. Using a bottom-up approach, this project aims to empower village communities in Myanmar by establishing dependable access to energy and internet, advancing ‘future-fit’ skills and capacities of residents, and testing and creating new income-generating activities.

The Global Projects Exchange is committed to translating ideas into action and collaborating on innovative solutions. At this Exchange, we reported on and advanced concrete projects within three arenas we believe are key to new approaches to growth and sit at the intersection of business and policy.

We then split into three breakout workshops to debate big questions and enrich projects in these three arenas.

Session 1: The energy transition

Session 2: Long-term investing

Session 3: Future-fit talent and skills

Four of the profiled projects were initiated through Xynteo’s cross-sector Leadership Vanguard programme.

✚ Outcomes

Jeremy Bentham kicked off our session by observing that the energy transition is already underway, or as William Gibson famously said, “The future is here – it’s just not evenly distributed”. The group agreed that managing this transition will require sector-by-sector reform, looking not just at new technologies but at new business models, new financing mechanisms and new partnerships.

Each of the projects showcased received expressions of interest from new partners as well as valuable feedback and input on their next steps.

The LNG Marine Fuel Coalition team explored ways to incorporate non-fuel solutions such as vessel efficiency and hybrid propulsion systems into their scope. Participants also discussed how the coalition might influence large non-private fleet owners such as the US Navy. The coalition aims to meet in early February to formalise their next steps.

The Digital Future of Energy team will develop concrete recommendations on how to develop the critical components in the transition of incumbents towards innovative organisations that can thrive in the digital consumer-centric future: people/skills, culture, governance and IT capabilities.

The Leadership Vanguard’s ‘Village of the future’ initiative, as well as the broader Myanmar coalition, will be launched in early March 2016 at the Leadership Vanguard Exchange. In New York, the team discussed ways to build a stronger business case for household entrepreneurs, and to seek synergies with the Digital Future of Energy project.

Finally, the group generated several new project ideas that we will be developing in the new year. Among these is a business-investor coalition around carbon capture and utilisation, an area with the potential to play a key role in meeting a net-zero economy.

SESSION 02 LONG-TERM INVESTING INSIGHTS INTO BREAKOUT WORKSHOPS

Access to capital is a critical lever for economic growth. Socially-responsible investing, development aid and corporate social responsibility initiatives are evaluating investments not only by purpose but also by profit. But these mechanisms alone are not sufficient.

By emphasising short-term returns, our markets and institutions are leaving behind large areas – from cleantech to entrepreneurs in the developing world – that will be essential for realising a future in which man and nature are in balance, and the benefits of growth are enjoyed by the many, not just the few. In this session, the group considered the new instruments, systems and collaborative models that can channel finance towards longer-term investments, and how policy can support this shift.

✚ Investing for shared value

A number of oil and gas real-estate assets on long-term contracts are coming up for renegotiation around the world. At the same time, resource-owning nations are seizing the opportunity to capture much greater value from new deals (both in earnings and localised development). As classic commercial approaches to foreign operations are becoming insufficient, what kinds of policies, regulations, and projects can channel

investment towards long-term growth (shared value) in emerging economies while helping to secure a company’s long-term license to operate? How can a group of companies across sectors work to set out new local regulations, best practices, or direct investment models that can be replicated in other countries and/or scaled?

✚ Finance for smart meter deployment

The City of Tshwane (South Africa’s administrative capital city) is responsible for electricity supply to a population of around 500,000 customers. Tshwane had endemic problems with late payments, long-term debtors and electricity theft. The City turned to its panel of service providers to create an off-balance sheet, self-funding smart metering implementation programme. Peu Capital, an investment holding company, submitted a successful proposal under which it would own and operate the new smart system in Tshwane in return for a service fee. How and where can we support the scaling and replication of this model with EY and project partners?

✚ Amplifying the impact of corporate venture capital

By mobilising corporate venture units (CVC), companies are increasingly looking to get ahead of the technology disruption curve so they can diversify from and build

optionality into their core business. CVCs that are able to leverage their parent’s balance sheet not only through investing in the underlying fund, but also by procuring the proven technologies the funds invest in, can radically accelerate the development of these businesses and markets. So, as CVCs are inherently influencing the funding ecosystem, can they and traditional investors collaborate to accelerate technology development and deployment? How would such a collaboration work and can a network be created to improve origination?

✚ Future-fit 500: redefining how we measure value (a Leadership Vanguard initiative)

Corporate rankings today are focused on the principles of an outdated growth model. We need rankings to tell us which companies will shape the future. This project aims to build a holistic, future-appropriate valuation framework to help companies, investors and other stakeholders make better decisions. This new ranking and reporting – the ‘Future-fit 500’ – will draw on existing measures of natural and financial capital, but add a new capital, ‘future capital’, based on positive externalities.

05: Harald J Melwisch, vice president, brand building dach, marketing, Unilever


✚ Outcomes

‘Investing in shared value’ discussions centred on the question of how companies working in emerging markets can win at both the corporate and community levels. A number of partners came forward with their own experiences of channelling investments in emerging economies in such a way as to help secure their company’s long-term licence to operate. The primary lesson learned was around the need to integrate fast feedback mechanisms, in order to identify emergent problems quickly, and make necessary adjustments rapidly. It was also suggested that partnership with trusted organisations such as the OECD could help ensure a mutually-beneficial relationship between country and corporate.

Participants were similarly ready with support for the ‘smart meter deployment’ team, who were looking for opportunities to scale and replicate the model they have piloted in South Africa. A range of potential investors (from OPEC to private equity) were identified; and it was suggested that some additional work might be done to redefine the benefit to customer of making the smart meter transition, in order to incentivise rather than regulate the shift.

The group enjoyed a focused discussion on the role of corporate venture capital (CVC) in investing in start-ups with potential solutions for overcoming systemic challenges such as climate change. The primary takeaway was that providing start-ups with access to sharing platforms and global networks that allow them to pilot and roll out new technologies could improve deal flow for CVCs.

Finally, it was agreed that in order to shift our economic growth model away from short-term thinking and investment, it is imperative that companies are measured, not against best practice, but against required practice. It was suggested that players such as Bloomberg and Google would be critical for Future-fit 500 to leapfrog other – less useful – indices. In addition, the team was advised to establish their fund in the first year or the index, in order to demonstrate serious intent.

SESSION 03 FUTURE-FIT TALENT AND SKILLS INSIGHTS INTO BREAKOUT WORKSHOPS

Accelerating technological development, globalisation and shortening investment cycles are widening the gap between future growth and a meaningful inclusion of our global workforce. This structural disconnect is a leading cause of inequality and instability, undermining the foundations upon which we lead.

Creating inclusive, resilient growth will depend on a deep ‘future-fit’ pool of talent and skills. Individuals, organisations and economies will need a step change in agility, entrepreneurship, curiosity and collaboration to engage and thrive in this increasingly complex, interconnected world. Leaders will be increasingly demanded not only to demonstrate these attributes themselves but also to build communities and organisations that can foster and harness them in many people, in part by identifying and empowering ‘catalysts’ who can kick-start new growth in their immediate communities.

How are businesses, policymakers, and civil society working together in different geographies to provide the next generation with the skills and capacities that will be needed? How can better collaboration among these sectors close the skills gap? We showcased a suite of projects from the Leadership Vanguard to our work on empowering women in India, which served as models to take forward.

✚ Lifescores (a Leadership Vanguard initiative)

A fundamental flaw in our growth model is that we as individuals often value the wrong things. We need to drive a psychological shift from wanting to be rich to wanting to be relevant. This project is creating a digital platform that uses the psychological principles of gamification to measure and reward all purchasing and usage decisions, calculating them into points, Lifescores, to help consumers make better choices for themselves, their communities and the planet – and, in the process, become more relevant.

✚ Skilling women for employment in the stainless steel sector

As part of one of the six pilots being launched in the project Xyntéo is delivering in India with the IKEA Foundation, UNDP and India Development Foundation, this three-year programme aims to positively impact the lives of a million women by providing them with skills training, education, employment and entrepreneurial opportunities. Jindal Stainless Limited is is taking the lead in managing a skills programme in stainless steel fabrication applications in the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR) for four to six months, with a target of 1,800 women trained over three years. By providing vulnerable

women with the necessary skills and knowledge, and linking them with markets and employers, we hope to help them become economically self-sufficient and consequently help improve the quality of India’s growth.

✚ Water4Life (a Leadership Vanguard initiative)

Water is fundamental to all life. But one-third of the world’s population lives in water-stressed areas, and nearly a billion people live without access to safe drinking water.

This project aims to initiate and lead a systems-sized collaboration that leverages the reach and capabilities of the private sector. The first point of intervention will aim to connect and scale-up locally appropriate solutions to water scarcity and pollution in a select region along the Ganges River in India.

✚ Outcomes

Participants agreed on a set of six design principles that could act as a framework for the development of projects designed to develop talent and skills that are fit for the future. In particular, the principle stating the need for such projects to be responsive to the context in which they are operating, was deemed to be of the utmost importance, to create an environment that fosters trust, as well as a sense of urgency.

The repositioning of education and skill-building was discussed at length, including a greater degree of emphasis on life-long learning. Similarly, there was strong agreement around the need for skill-building programmes to match the right supply of talent with an identifiable business need.

There was strong interest in replicating the India Skills model in Turkey, a collaboration which will be explored as the project in India progresses. Similarly, SABMiller showed a commitment to supporting the Leadership Vanguard’s Water4Life project in India, in line with their focus on water.

Finally, it was agreed that by combining the best of the Leadership Vanguard and India Skills, a partnership-wide project on talent and skills could be successfully developed and implemented. This will be further explored by the partnership.
