In the fourth episode of the Standard Bank PowerPulse podcast series, Alec Hogg is joined again by Deerosh Maharaj, Senior Manager for Natural Resources, Power, and Sustainable Solutions at Standard Bank, to take a deeper look into solar PV as a renewable energy source. Also joining the discussion is Ricky Huyser, Project Development Director of Clearwatt, an advisory service for projects with a focus on the renewable energy space. Maharaj says that one of the greatest benefits of the PowerPulse platform is that it saves clients time and (therefore) money. “With PowerPulse, it basically cuts through the fog and gets a client to the correct solution as quickly as possible. It also ensures that the partners you’re dealing with are able to provide systems of suitable quality and that are competitive and market-related from a pricing perspective.”

Aeon Investment Management CIO, Asief Mohamed, joined BizNews to discuss the climate lobbying resolution that was recently rejected by Sasol's board. On 14 September, non-profit shareholder activism organisation Just Share and Aeon Investment Management co-filed a non-binding, advisory shareholder resolution at Sasol Limited for tabling at its November AGM. According to Just Share, the resolution asks Sasol "to improve and expand its disclosure of its direct and indirect climate lobbying, including disclosing the annual membership fees paid to industry associations that are involved in climate lobbying activities". Mohamed says that when it comes to climate risk and environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG), shareholders simply need more transparency.
