Ann: K2F signs Westgold in 5 year partnership & subscription deal, page-25

It's been a great quarter for K2F - with momentum definitely picking up.

I'm expecting it to be a great 2020 - with ESG becoming front and centre in board rooms and with mounting pressure to build the internal systems to manage ESG responsibilities.

See this, for example, from a recent State Street article:
State Street: Five ESG trends to watch in 2020


"5. ESG will become a mainstream boardroom issue, resulting in better infrastructure and ESG disclosure by companies

In 2020, we expect ESG to top the agenda in the boardroom, as directors respond not just to their investors, but to the broader debate about shareholder primacy. This was crystallised in the US by the 2019 Business Roundtable’s updated Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation, expressing that a company’s purpose is to promote ‘an economy that serves all’ and that their constituencies include customers, employees, suppliers, communities, and shareholders.

SASB’s work makes clear that these constituencies are often aligned: how a company treats its employees or its surrounding community can have a direct impact on shareholder returns over the long term. But it will be up to boards to articulate these alignments at the specific company level.

In order for boards to effectively oversee this broader set of issues, companies will need to build up the internal infrastructure needed to effectively manage and disclose them. We expect to see companies collecting new types of data, building new reporting mechanisms, and focusing on their performance against these financially material issues"
