NEW YORK, Jan. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As 2023 begins, the people of Ukraine are marking nearly a year of war and conflict in their homeland. Russia's invasion of its neighboring country in February 2022 signaled the latest—and most egregious—breach of international norms by an increasingly reckless state with little to lose from further Western sanctions or isolation on the world stage. The impact of the war in Ukraine has bled over to other geopolitical and economic spheres, including a worldwide energy crisis, global inflation shockwaves, and a redrawing of alliances as countries and corporations reassess their relationships with Russia.

Key Points: 
  • NEW YORK, Jan. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As 2023 begins, the people of Ukraine are marking nearly a year of war and conflict in their homeland.
  • The report is co-written by Eurasia Group President and Founder Ian Bremmer and Chairman Cliff Kupchan.
  • As Eurasia Group marks its 25th anniversary year, we are for the first time publishing separate standalone reports with the most important takeaways of Top Risks 2023 for Brazil , Canada , and Japan .
  • With our best-in-class advisory and consulting offerings and GZERO Media, the Eurasia Group umbrella provides the marketplace with a complete political risk solution.

DES MOINES, Iowa, April 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Corporate Citizenship Project (www.CorporateCitizenshipProject.com), a think-tank focused on a data-driven approach to corporate governance issues, today penned an open letter to Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS") CEO Gary Retelny regarding the apparent decision on the part of ISS to not downgrade Russia's Environmental, Social, Governance ("ESG") rating below a "C Minus", leaving Russia's ESG score unchanged since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. 

Key Points: 
  • The letter reads as follows:
    On behalf of The Corporate Citizenship Project, I am asking you to clarify the decision on the part of ISS to not lower the ESG rating for Russia after its invasion of Ukraine.
  • Meanwhile, the reckless Russian decision to shell a nuclear power plant risked causing another Chernobyl-like environmental catastrophe.
  • We are therefore troubled by ISS's apparent decision to leave Russia's ESG rating unchanged.
  • Have ISS parent companies Genstar Capital or Deutsche Boerse influenced, or attempted to influence, ISS ESG ratings of Russia or Russian companies?
