One day in

Spent the morning making notes about the IHS Markit Global Carbon Index from a podcast  by IHS parent company Opis.

Their incentive behind the Index is to provide a price for carbon, and provide incentive for investment in emitters within the trade and cap schemes that the carbon markets trade within.

Question from a friend, if you are going to create reports, what standards to they need to meet?

Another friend asked me to send in my CV for consideration by Kinect IT.

Over chicken

The dogs need a low fat diet, so I am trying to find a source of cheap, freerange chicken to boil for them.  Today I found 3 packets of thighs on special going out of date.  I had no idea I was committing myself to an entire morning of trimming, boiling and dicing.  I feel like Farmer Boggis, no doubt I smell like him too. Received a call back from AWS for their Technical Account Manager role, phone interview next week.  Will have to do my homework. Encouraged to submit CV for Bankwest for IT Helpdesk role and for KIT, though I've no idea what the job description there would be. Washed the car too, another hot day, dusty before I'd even put it back in the car port.

Next prep and more study

 Second interview with AWS tomorrow so lots of prep on their behavioural question methods. Also found an introductory course into Environment, Social Governance , ESG hosted by the Corporate Finance Institute.  Here's a scary lesson from the later stages of the course, there are a number of rating and ranking agencies that will place a company within a rank based on publicly avaiable ESG information. But they warn that each agency has its own method of determining the rank, which leaves very little conformity across the agencies.  Here's a comparison they provide between three clothing manufacturers and four agencies. Company MSCI Sustainalytics Just Capital CSRHub Under Armour Not ranked Low Risk, but ranked 49/186 377/922 overall, 10/36 in household goods 58/100 Adidas AAA Low Risk, but ranked 22/186 Not ranked 98/100 Nike A Low Risk, but ranked 45/186 301/922 overall, 7/36 in household goods 96/100

All about the CV

Attended the Conservation Council of Western Australia's Candidates Forum meeting online last night.   A comprehensive presentation on the goals and targets of CCWA , and four of its member groups, the Forest Alliance, Environs Kimberley, the Wilderness Society and Protect Ningaloo.  They are all advocating for environmental protection and action on climate change leading up to the election in March.  Good to see faces, hear strategy, pose questions and capture information. My CV has gone through its 11th and hopefully final draft.  Small changes should be made for each application, but overall I think it should suit. First interview with Spok today, software support for a company that provides secure communication and scheduling to hospitals in the US.  Wonder how that will go.
