  • Where Public Capital is Pointing on Climate Adaption

    The European Investment Bank (EIB) Group has committed to provide at least €30 billion for climate adaptation by 2030, double its adaptation financing over the previous five years, with the need to help with increased risk of heatwaves, droughts, wildfires and floods. The EIB's president, Nadia Calviño, put the logic plainly: every euro invested in prevention and adaptation saves 10 euros in damag

  • Greenman Energy exceed 20,000 Customers and 2.2 GWh of Energy

  • The Channel That Didn't Disrupt Grocery Retail

    Across Europe's largest grocery markets, e-commerce still hasn't become the threat to physical retail that it did in other categories. In Germany, online grocery sits at roughly 0.4% of the market. In France and Spain, our Signals to Savour research found the channel continuing to struggle for a real foothold against strong in-store preference. In Italy, it has gained traction mainly among younger

    We said we'd update you this week on the timing of the AGM convening notices. The audit is not yet signed off, so we're not in a position to issue them today.

    Where things stand:
