Where Wall Street meets the racetrack, and Mother Nature holds all the cards. Ever notice how Brits will bet on absolutely anything? From which raindrop will reach the bottom of the window first to which royal will trip on the palace steps next, there's nothing they won't wager on. Well, guess what? The financial world has its own version of this betting madness, and it's actually genius. The art of betting What are catastrophe bonds? Catastrophe bonds or "cat bonds" for short, are like an insurance policy's big brother. They're financial deals where investors essentially bet that major disasters won't happen. Picture this: You're playing a game of catch with an insurance company. The company tosses you a ball (some money) every month. You keep catching these balls and collecting them. But here's the catch, if a huge disaster strikes, you have to give back most or all of the balls you've collected. If no disaster happens, you walk home with an impressive pile of balls. That's a cat bond. The insurance company pays you to temporarily hold their risk, like paying a friend to carry your heavy backpack up a steep hill. Traditional betting at the track gives you a few minutes of excitement. With cat bonds, your bet runs for years! Insurance companies realized they needed a bigger boat (or wallet), so they created cat bonds to tap into the ocean of money that exists in investment markets. Now, with our planet getting warmer and disasters becoming more common than reruns of old TV shows, these bonds have become super important. They're like financial fire extinguishers in a world that's increasingly flammable. World bank cat bond explain - Youtube How Cat Bonds work Let me break it down as simply as your favorite recipe: An insurance company creates a special container for money: Think of it like a clear cookie jar that everyone can see but only certain people can reach into Investors put their money in this jar : They're basically saying, "I bet $10 million that Florida won't get smashed by a hurricane this year!" The insurance company pays them for taking this risk : Like paying rent to store their worries in someone else's brain If disaster strikes : Investors lose money, just like when your favorite team loses badly after you've bet on them If no disaster happens : Investors get their money back plus extra, and everyone celebrates Cat bonds were created to tap into the investment markets' deep pockets – because nothing says "problem solved" quite like throwing obscene amounts of money at it. Today, with climate change cranking up disaster frequency faster than British people form queues, cat bonds have become absolutely essential. Just like how an umbrella is "essential" in Britain – except this umbrella costs billions and doesn't turn inside out in the wind. The trigger system is clear as a referee's whistle Unlike your uncle who changes the rules of board games when he's losing, cat bonds have super clear rules about when investors lose their money: Indemnity triggers : Based on the insurance company's actual losses, like only paying up on a bet when your team loses by more than 10 points Industry loss triggers : Activated when the whole insurance industry takes a beating, like when every betting slip at the racetrack gets torn up after a surprise winner Parametric triggers : Based on measurable disaster facts like wind speed, "If winds hit 150 mph, you lose your money" – simple as checking the speedometer in a car These financial marvels transfer disaster risks from insurance companies to investors desperate for higher returns and, apparently, a proper adrenaline rush. It works like this: when a major disaster strikes, investors help cover the losses instead of the insurance company bearing all the cost. How very charitable of them! (And by charitable, I mean wildly profitable.) Beyond hurricanes and earthquakes: The betting menu expands Just like Brits now bet on everything from politics to reality TV shows, cat bonds have grown up too. Today's disaster bonds protect against: Deadly disease outbreaks (when too many people get sick) Global health crises (when doctors everywhere are working overtime) Terror attacks (when bad people do terrible things) Computer hacking (when the digital world breaks) Big company mistakes (when corporations mess up royally)More Excitement Than Betting on a Three-Legged Horse. How these beautiful disasters work Allow me to break it down in a way that even your mate who still doesn't understand the offside rule might grasp: An insurance company creates a "special purpose vehicle" (SPV)  – which sounds like something James Bond would drive but is actually just a fancy financial box Investors chuck their money into this SPV  – essentially saying, "I bet you Louisiana stays hurricane-free this year!" The insurance company pays premiums  – giving investors returns that make your granny's fixed deposit look like pocket change If disaster strikes meeting specific triggers  – investors lose their shirt, much like backing the England football team in any major tournament If no disaster occurs  – investors collect their winnings while smugly watching the Weather Channel The very specific trigger system Unlike your uncle who changes the rules of board games when he's losing, cat bonds have super clear rules about when investors lose their money: Indemnity triggers : Based on the insurance company's actual losses, like only paying up on a bet when your team loses by more than 10 points Industry loss triggers : Activated when the whole insurance industry takes a beating, like when every betting slip at the racetrack gets torn up after a surprise winner Parametric triggers : Based on measurable disaster facts like wind speed, "If winds hit 150 mph, you lose your money" – simple as checking the speedometer in a car. Beyond natural disasters: because why stop there? Much like how Brits have evolved from betting on horse races to wagering on which color tie the Chancellor will wear during budget speeches, cat bonds have expanded their horizons. Today's cat bonds protect against: Pandemic outbreaks (when too many people get sick) Global health crises (when doctors everywhere are working overtime) Terror attacks (when bad people do terrible things) Computer hacking (when the digital world breaks) Big company mistakes (when corporations mess up royally) What this means for your money If you're looking to grow your savings, cat bonds typically pay 5-15% each year when disasters don't strike. That's way better than what your bank offers, like comparing a feast to a single potato chip. For businesses, cat bonds are like having a rich uncle who promised to help if your house burns down. They provide protection against the worst-case scenarios that would otherwise bankrupt a company faster than a teenager with their first credit card. Bottom Line: smart protection in a crazy world Don't wait for the next disaster to think about protection. Catastrophe bonds are like umbrellas, it's best to get one before the storm hits, not during the downpour. Whether you're interested in investing or protecting your business, cat bonds deserve your attention. In a world where extreme weather is becoming as common as social media arguments, these financial tools let you sleep easier at night. After all, if British people can create betting markets on how many times a politician will cough during a speech, surely we can appreciate financial tools that bet on forces of nature. The difference? These bets actually protect our economy from collapse. Remember: In regular betting, the house always wins. With cat bonds, everybody can win, unless Mother Nature throws the ultimate tantrum. https://www.lemonde.fr/argent/article/2025/05/10/cat-bonds-quand-speculer-sur-les-catastrophes-rapporte_6604606_1657007.html https://www.artemis.bm/library/what-is-a-catastrophe-bond/

Lately, we have been often asked: "What is becoming of sustainable business?". "Is there any?" "Are environmental and social sustainability able to thrive on this political climate?". Here is our answer: Spotlight When profit meets purpose, that's where true business transformation begins. Across our client portfolio, we've observed how sustainability, inclusion, and equity were once the darlings of corporate agendas. Those days feel distant now. The boardroom enthusiasm has cooled. The budgets have shrunk. The bold declarations have softened to whispers. Not because these principles matter less. But because the real work has begun. Across the industry,  we've observed how initiatives built merely for show are being quietly shelved as priorities shift. Meanwhile, among our clients who embraced sustainability with authentic purpose, their programs continue to thrive even without fanfare, and they're seeing tangible benefits to their bottom line. The data supports this observation. A 2023 McKinsey Global Survey found that 33% of respondents report their organizations have already achieved value creation from their sustainability programs [1], while according to the Morgan Stanley Institute for Sustainable Investing, sustainable funds demonstrated greater resilience during market downturns, with 65% of sustainable funds ranking in the top half of their respective categories during 2020's volatile market. [2,3,4] The contrast couldn't be more striking: performative sustainability fades with changing seasons, but a real purpose-driven approaches are bearing fruit even when no one's watching. [5,6] Our most successful clients understand this: when your sustainability strategy only thrived during conference keynotes and quarterly reports, it was never going to reshape your business. Real commitment isn't measured in press releases but in what your company does when no one's drafting the awards submission, when public attention has moved elsewhere. That resistance many businesses are feeling is not failure, it's friction. Systems only push back against forces capable of changing them. The harder the pushback, the closer you are to meaningful change. Research from MIT Sloan indicates that the companies facing the most significant initial internal resistance to sustainability initiatives ultimately achieved 37% higher ROI on those programs when they persisted through the friction. For some organizations we work with, sustainability feels like sacrifice because they've built enterprises on unsustainable foundations. Their discomfort isn't evidence we've gone too far, it's confirmation we've finally started moving in the right direction.  According to a 2022 PwC survey, 83% of consumers think companies should be actively shaping ESG best practices, yet The Conference Board's C-Suite Outlook 2023 reported that only 39% of executives globally ranked ESG investments as "very important", highlighting the friction between expectations and current priorities. The most dangerous narrative we hear from companies isn't skepticism about sustainability, it's the suggestion that modest progress represents radical excess. When business claims "we've gone too far," we always ask them: too far toward whose future? NYU Stern's Center for Sustainable Business found that sustainability-marketed products grew 7.1 times faster than products not marketed as sustainable between 2015-2021, showing consumers are voting with their wallets. At Trianon Scientific Communication, we've learned through our client work that sustainability isn't just a solution, it's often THE solution, even to problems that seem unrelated. We're committed to proving that environmental and social responsibility can drive profit, not just purpose. We didn't build our client relationships on shifting trends. We built them on enduring truths. For some organizations, sustainability feels challenging because they've operated for decades on unsustainable foundations. Their discomfort doesn't signal excess, it confirms that meaningful change has begun. The 2023 Edelman Trust Barometer found that 71% of employees expect their CEO to speak out on issues like sustainability and climate change, expectations that may feel uncomfortable but reflect evolving stakeholder demands. If you're exhausted, we tell our clients, good. That means you've moved beyond platitudes. If you're uncertain, excellent. You understand what's truly at stake. If you're still committed despite the headwinds, perfect. That's where transformation begins. Th resilience of sustainable business What's become clear through observation is that sustainability isn't just about risk mitigation, it always drives solution innovation. Harvard Business Review reported that companies with strong ESG propositions have lower costs of capital, reduced regulatory pressure, and improved employee attraction and retention, translating to enhanced value creation. [7] The companies building on enduring principles rather than fleeting trends show remarkable resilience. Those experiencing exhaustion have typically moved beyond performative actions. Those facing uncertainty have generally recognized the true complexity of the challenge. Those maintaining commitment despite headwinds are positioned for long-term transformation. Sustainability isn't fading, it's maturing. Growing less flashy but more fundamental. Less about talk and more about transformation. We see this daily as we guide organizations through this evolution. The evidence appears in quarterly reports and annual statements across industries, with the Global Sustainable Investment Alliance reporting that sustainable investing assets reached $35.3 trillion globally in 2020, a 15% increase in just two years. [8] The work continues because the challenges remain. So we encourage everyone to keep showing up. Not because it's comfortable or convenient, but because a thriving, sustainable future demands nothing less. And increasingly, the market rewards those who understand this truth. This has been demonstrated by BlackRock's 2022 finding that companies with better ESG risk ratings have shown greater financial resilience during market downturns.

Our combination of technical expertise, inspirational capacity, and commitment to inclusion enables companies to reconcile sustainability with profitability in today's complex business landscape. It is from this perspective that we examine one of the most overlooked aspects of both social sustainability and business performance: the hidden value of women's work. The revelation of absence When women stop working, the world notices. On October 24, 2023, something amazing happened in Iceland. Approximately 100,000 women and non-binary people didn't go to work. They went on strike for a whole day. The first time they've done this since 1975.[1] Their absence from workplaces across the country delivered a powerful statement about the value of women’s value in the economy and the inequalities they continue to face. Icelandic Women Strike in 1975 - Women's History Archives | Women's History Archives They wanted everyone to see two big problems: Women in some jobs still get paid 21% less than men for doing the same work Over 40% of Icelandic women have experienced gender-based violence. But these strikes show us something bigger too: how much society depends on women’s contributions, whether they’re paid or unpaid. This chart shows the unadjusted gender pay gap in selected EU member states. Women's work: the hidden pillar of society Addressing the hidden value of women's work creates substantial business opportunities. Women and girls handle over 75% of the world’s unpaid care tasks and form two-thirds of paid care workers. Every day, they dedicate 12.5 billion hours to unpaid care. It is enough to fill 1.4 million years of nonstop work. If this labor were paid at minimum wage, it would add $10.8 trillion yearly to the global economy, a value three times larger than the entire tech industry. In developping nations, rural women often spend up to 14 hours daily on chores like cooking, cleaning, and childcare. Globally, 42% of women are blocked from paid jobs due to caregiving duties, compared to just 6% of men. Most domestic workers worldwide are women (80% of 67 million), yet 90% lack social security, and over half face unlimited work hours with no legal protection. These gaps highlight the urgent need to recognize and support caregiving as essential work.[2] Female doctor with a female patient The money impact When women work in paid jobs, good things happen: Economies grow stronger; Businesses become more diverse and successful; Income gaps shrink; Countries handle crises better; In America alone, women's work adds $7.6 trillion to the country's money each year. If all working American women took just one day off (like the Icelandic women did), the country would lose almost $21 billion in a single day![3] In the UK alone, improvements in female participation between 2011–2023 contributed £6.2 billion annually to GDP, with potential growth reaching £43.5 billion by 2030 if progress continues.[4] In Europe, women also play a crucial role in economic growth: Closing the gender pay and participation gaps could elevate EU GDP per capita by 6.1–9.6% by 2050.[5] Women's contribution to GDP in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) ranges from 38–43%, slightly above the global average of 36%. [6] The gender employment gap cost Europe €390 billion in 2023, equivalent to 2.3% of the EU’s GDP.[7] This shows how essential women work is to keeping economies running. Beyond GDP: The uncounted contributions Here's where things get really interesting. Conventional economic metrics overlook crucial value: Beyond their paid jobs, women do tons of work that nobody pays them for: Taking care of children Looking after older family members Cleaning homes Cooking meals Managing household needs Planning family schedules and events (often called the “mental load”). This work is super important for families and communities. But it doesn't count in a country's official money measurements. How much is this unpaid work actually worth? About $10.9 trillion worldwide in 2020. That's more than twice the size of the entire global tech industry! Just in America, if women got minimum wage for their unpaid work, they would have earned about $1.5 trillion in 2019.[8] Woman cooking The uneven distribution of unpaid work: Health and career impacts on women Women worldwide bear a disproportionate burden of unpaid labor, facing significant physical and mental health consequences. Daily activities like cooking, cleaning, and lifting frequently result in physical strain, leading to chronic pain, injuries, and long-term health complications. The mental health toll is equally concerning, with many women experiencing anxiety, depression, and burnout from managing constant responsibilities. Despite their essential contributions to family functioning, many women report feeling undervalued and unappreciated for their efforts at home. The invisible "mental load" compounds these challenges. Women typically shoulder the responsibility of planning, organizing, and worrying about family needs such as remembering birthdays, scheduling appointments, monitoring household supplies, and anticipating others' needs. This constant mental vigilance creates a never-ending cognitive burden that rarely receives acknowledgment. Woman depressed The global statistics are staggering. Women collectively perform 12.5 billion hours of unpaid care work daily. In the United States, women spend 4.5 hours on daily unpaid tasks compared to men's 2.8 hours. Even in countries renowned for gender equality, such as Iceland, women still contribute more unpaid labor than men. The disparity becomes even more pronounced in countries like Egypt, where women dedicate 5.4 hours daily to unpaid work while men average just 35 minutes. Across Europe, the gender gap in unpaid work persists with varying intensity. European Union women spend approximately 4 hours daily on unpaid care work, while men contribute about 2 hours, creating a consistent 2-hour daily gap. Country-specific data reveals significant variations: France shows women spending 3.7 hours on unpaid work versus men's 2.1 hours; Italy demonstrates a wider gap with women at 4.6 hours compared to men's 1.5 hours; and Germany reports women spending 4 hours while men contribute 2.5 hours. Even the progressive Nordic countries maintain a gender gap of 1-1.5 hours daily. Eastern European nations often display even larger disparities, with women in Poland, Romania, and Hungary typically investing 3-4 more hours daily in unpaid work than men. These differences reflect complex factors including policy environments, cultural expectations, parental leave structures, childcare accessibility, and deeply embedded gender norms. Countries with comprehensive family-friendly policies and robust childcare systems generally demonstrate smaller, though still persistent, gender gaps in unpaid labor. An analysis of figures from 75 countries shows that women complete more unpaid work than men in every region of the world. Statista The career implications of this unbalanced workload create another dimension of impact on women's wellbeing. The extensive time devoted to unpaid domestic responsibilities often forces women to reduce work hours, decline promotions, or exit the workforce entirely. This "motherhood penalty" results in diminished earning potential, reduced retirement savings, and limited career advancement. Women frequently find themselves in a double bind, simultaneously judged for being insufficiently committed to either their careers or their families. The resulting financial stress, combined with career frustration and frustrated ambitions, creates additional health risks including chronic stress, compromised immune function, and increased vulnerability to various health conditions. The pressure to perform perfectly in both professional and domestic spheres leads many women to sacrifice self-care, sleep, and leisure time, essential components of maintaining physical and mental health.[9,10,11] Another crucial distinction lies in the nature of these responsibilities. Women's tasks, such as cooking, childcare, and cleaning, typically demand attention every day at specific times. Meanwhile, men's traditional responsibilities, like lawn maintenance or household repairs, generally allow for greater flexibility and can often be postponed without immediate consequences. Invisible labor at work: Another hidden value of women's work The burden doesn’t stop at home. In workplaces, women often take on “invisible labor”—tasks that are essential but go unnoticed or unrewarded: Organizing team events or sending gifts for colleagues. Taking meeting notes or tidying up shared spaces. Providing emotional support to coworkers. This kind of work helps build company culture but rarely leads to promotions or recognition. In fact: Women are asked to do these tasks 44% more often than men. When men perform these tasks, they’re seen as going “above and beyond” and are more likely to be rewarded. This imbalance affects women’s career growth and contributes to the gender pay gap over time.[12] The business case for change Trianon Scientific Communication helps organizations implement proven strategies for addressing these imbalances: Comprehensive family support policies  that recognize caregiving across all genders Workplace flexibility  without career penalties Recognition systems  that value traditionally invisible contributions Equal distribution  of office housework and emotional labor Leadership modeling  of work-life integration Organizations implementing these approaches report: Reduced turnover costs Improved talent acquisition Enhanced innovation metrics Stronger team performance Greater organizational resilience Iceland shows the way forward When Icelandic women first went on strike in 1975, amazing things happened: Five years later, Iceland elected its first woman presiden. Iceland has now been ranked n°1, in the world for gender equality, for 14 straight years The country has closed 91.2% of its gender gap (America is at about 75%; Europe is about 76%). The 2023 strike was another big step toward complete equality. It showed how powerful collective action can be! The path forward Trianon Scientific Communication partners with forward-thinking organizations to create sustainable change: Implementing evidence-based workplace policies that address both visible and invisible gender gaps. Developing metrics that capture the full spectrum of organizational contributions. Building cultures where unpaid labor is recognized, valued, and shared equitably. When organizations acknowledge women's comprehensive contributions, both recognized and hidden, they create workplaces that are not only more equitable but demonstrably more innovative, resilient, and profitable. The message from Iceland resonates clearly: women's work, in all its forms, is essential to organizational and economic success. Companies that recognize this reality gain significant competitive advantage in an increasingly complex global marketplace. Thousands participated in the women's strike in Iceland on Tuesday, October 24, 2023 to protest unequal pay and gender-based violence. This picture specifically shows the crowd in Reykjavik, Iceland.

In today's business landscape, sustainable practices aren't just an option—they're a catalyst for growth. Organizations with strong CSR practices show up to 80% higher profitability over 3 year. Building a sustainable business model Entrepreneurs often find it challenging to develop a business model that balances profitability with social responsibility. The CSR training equips participants with the tools to create sustainable strategies that not only enhance their brand image but also contribute positively to society, helping them stand out in a competitive market. Engaging stakeholders effectively Many professionals grapple with the challenge of engaging stakeholders (employees, customers, and investors) in their sustainability initiatives. This training offers practical techniques for fostering collaboration and buy-in from all parties, which is crucial for the success of any CSR strategy. Measuring impact & ROI Determining the effectiveness of CSR initiatives can be daunting, especially for those without a background in sustainability metrics. The training addresses this challenge by teaching participants how to measure the impact of their efforts accurately and demonstrate the return on investment (ROI) of their CSR activities, making it easier to justify continued investment in sustainability initiatives. By addressing these challenges through your training program, you can effectively appeal to professionals and entrepreneurs who are eager to enhance their skills and drive meaningful change within their organizations. Driving innovation & growth through CSR Professionals and entrepreneurs often struggle to integrate Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) into their innovation strategies. Many organizations view CSR as a separate initiative rather than a core component of their business model. This disconnect can stifle creativity and limit growth opportunities. The training program will equip participants with the knowledge to leverage CSR as a catalyst for innovation, enabling them to develop sustainable products and services that meet evolving market demands while enhancing their competitive edge. Avoiding greenwashing & social washing As consumers become more discerning about corporate claims regarding sustainability and social responsibility, the risk of greenwashing and social washing has increased. Professionals face the challenge of ensuring their organizations communicate authentically about their CSR efforts without misleading stakeholders. This training will provide essential strategies for developing transparent, measurable, and genuine CSR initiatives, helping participants build trust with their audience and avoid the reputational damage associated with deceptive practices. By addressing these challenges in your marketing materials, you can effectively appeal to professionals and entrepreneurs who are eager to enhance their skills in navigating the complexities of CSR while fostering innovation and maintaining credibility in their sustainability efforts. Strategic integration While 76% of executives consider sustainability strategic, only 22% have clear implementation roadmaps. Bridge this gap by learning to: → Align sustainability with core business objectives → Develop actionable implementation strategies → Create measurable impact frameworks Agenda Jun 03 Tue 09:00 - 12:00 Module 1: What do you really know about climate change?
