Asset Owners Can Start a Transparency Revolution Via Beier Full Market Disclosure
Asset Owners Can Save the World - Seriously
Asset owners (i.e., pension funds) can start a revolution themselves by adopting Beier Full Market Disclosure.
The flood of climate data would generate a center of pricing gravity that will pull all financial transactions into its orbit and reshape the way everyone sees the world, right down to the way that we price each individual transaction based on solid fresh information.
As fiduciaries, asset owners never lose by demanding transparency from their service providers.
We believe that Asset Owners can efficiently serve their fiduciary obligations with respect to sustainability specifically through:
I: Beier Full Market Disclosure
Real-time transparency by institutional investors of how they price sustainability, including qualitative and quantitative analysis and data disclosed transaction by transaction.
Asset Owners can be powerful activists by immediately publishing their Beier Full Market Disclosure of their current entire portfolio online and updating it with historical data
Ii: Right to Innovate in Sustainability Pricing
Ensure the right to innovate in sustainability pricing (i.e., that no good ideas or talented people are lost under intellectual property, non-compete, and non-disclosure agreements) so that we can continuously improve Beier Full Market Disclosure.
Asset Owners can influence their peers and service providers to make sure that their talent is free to develop their best ideas.
III: Climate Proof Software
To keep Beier Full Market Disclosure and our economies going (particularly our food systems - otherwise avoidable famines may occur) when the climate shocks intensify, we need to be able to update and fix our software without relying on the firms that made it. Therefore, we are advocating for our worldwide technology stockpile to transition to the freedom-based GNU General Public License Version 3 by January 1, 2028.
Asset Owners can use their voting power to quickly push companies to move their software to GNU GPL V3 so that our technology base can be repaired and adapted to function during the coming climate shocks.
Conclusion
We recently heard that at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government the professors are teaching their students that climate change is now a certainty.
Based on any reasonable measure, the need to go the extra mile now while we still have a chance to influence the outcome through the markets should be taken.
Cooperate or Perish
For Asset Owners, the plea by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to the opening of UN Climate Conference COP27 in Egypt is a call to arms.
“We are in the fight of our lives and we are losing.”
“We are on the highway to climate hell with our foot – still – on the accelerator.”
“Choose climate solidarity or collective suicide.”
