“…It was born out of the socially responsible investment (SRI) movement, which includes both ethical and economic value considerations. 110 A number of definitions of sustainable investment have emerged. 111 The European Sustainable Investment Forum (EUROSIF) defines sustainable investment as 'any type of investment process that combines investors' financial objectives with their concerns about environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues'.…”

Transnational carbon major companies are responsible for over 30% of global industrial greenhouse gas emissions and exert tremendous influence over future global climate trajectories. Yet, they are not governed through top-down, stringent emissions limits, but are instead regulated largely by disclosure-only domestic requirements and market-based or voluntary corporate social responsibility mechanisms. Through an examination of the requirements of domestic laws such as the United Kingdom (UK) Climate Change Act 2008 and the UK Energy Act 2013, as well as the environmental and sustainability reports produced under the UK Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013, this article analyzes the regulatory requirements placed on carbon majors, and the climate change pledges and emissions of five UK-based carbon majors: BP, Royal Dutch Shell, BG Group, National Grid, and Centrica. The article concludes that the efforts to curb emissions in these carbon major entities are being subverted by company law, company theory and commercial norms such as shareholder wealth maximization.

I shall never neglect that duty."…”

Anglicans and Aviators: The First World War and the Forgotten Origins of Royal Air Force Chaplaincy

Nineteen-eighteen saw the formation of the world's first independent air force, and the inauguration of the first independent chaplaincy organisation devoted to military aviation. However, the neglected creation of the Chaplains' Branch of the Royal Air Force (RAF) towards the end of the First World War represents far more than just a minor footnote in the institutional history of Britain's armed forces. The circumstances of its creation, which occurred just as the German sociologist Max Weber was identifying scientific progress as driving the ineluctable "disenchantment of the world," not only belied this famous sociological maxim in the highly technological and supremely modern context of aerial warfare but also demonstrated the competence of Anglican chaplaincy methods and the resilience of British '"Christendom" in the context of a war which is widely perceived as having exposed and exacerbated the weaknesses of both.On 22 October 1918, and amidst one of their thrice-yearly meetings at Lambeth Palace, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Randall Davidson, announced to his fellow bishops a new development concerning armed forces chaplaincy. Less than a month before the end of the First World War, around two thousand clergy of the Church of England were engaged as commissioned chaplains in the British Army and Royal Navy, the vast majority (nearly 90 per cent) in the Army Chaplains' Department. 1 With nineteen items to discuss, theirs was a crowded agenda, and Davidson's news was largely a matter of report. Speaking on the subject of "Religious Services In English Aerodromes," and in response to the Bishop of Chelmsford, John Watts Ditchfield, who had aired concerns about "the inadequate provision at
