Wells Fargo Among ‘Most Transparent’ on Environmental, Social, and Governance Metrics
Company is committed to transparency and measurement across its
businesses
SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–In a study commissioned by Financial Times’ Agenda, stock-ratings
firm HIP Investor rated Wells Fargo among the most transparent companies
on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics. A summary
of the study appeared in the publication’s April 8 edition.
“Being transparent about our approach to environmental and social
governance issues and the risks associated with them helps Wells Fargo
proactively address concerns, assures team members that we are
considering important aspects of these decisions and — importantly —
creates shareholder value,” said Mary Wenzel, head of Sustainability and
Corporate Responsibility at Wells Fargo. “Setting sustainability goals
and reporting on our progress helps Wells Fargo maintain a focus on
issues that are critical to managing risk, running our business in a
more sustainable fashion and delivering on our commitment to leadership
in corporate citizenship.”
Financial Times Agenda writes that the study was commissioned “to
identify the S&P 500 companies that most fully — and least fully —
report these important metrics that connect with financial value
creation and risk reduction.” It used publicly available information
including CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) disclosures,
annual reports, corporate responsibility and sustainability reports and
the Thomson Reuters/Refinitiv database to arrive at its conclusions.
Wells Fargo ranked No. 9 on the study’s list of most transparent S&P 500
companies, and Wells Fargo was first among financial services firms.
“Our stakeholders — including investors, customers and team members —
are increasingly interested in our performance and management of
environmental, social, and governance factors,” said Wenzel. “In
addition to robust ESG disclosures, we are committed to transparent
financial disclosures, and we appreciate the independent analysis that
benchmarks our efforts against other industries.”
Wells Fargo seeks to employ best practices in corporate transparency and
disclosure, and reports on ESG-related issues through annual financial
reporting and proxy statements, annual Corporate
Social Responsibility reporting, company policy statements, a Business
Standards Report, and other public disclosures including CDP
reporting.

Apollo Green to distribute Humboldt Seed Company clonal cannabis genetics to Germany, Portugal and Australia
SAN FRANCISCO, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Humboldt Seed Company (HSC), California’s leading cannabis seed producer, has announced a partnership with Canadian-based Apollo Green to make eight breeder cuts available to researchers, licensed commercial cultivators and home growers in legal markets worldwide. This first-to-market clonal genetics release is a significant milestone and will expand access to distinctive, high-quality cannabis genetics in both established and emerging global markets including Germany, Portugal and Australia.
The curated, breeder-verified selection includes pioneering triploid genetics, such as OG Triploid and Donutz Triploid alongside the legendary cult classic Blueberry Muffin. Also available are All Gas OG with a THC content of 21% and four high-THC strains in the 30-35% range: Golden Sands, Guzzlerz, Jelly Donutz and Orange Creampop. These selections represent the top .01% from HSC’s extensive California pheno-hunting program.
Exports will begin in May under Apollo Green’s Canadian federal cannabis license. All shipments have Canadian phytosanitary certification, ensuring plants have been inspected, and are clean and free of pests.
“Access for all to quality genetics has been our core focus since the beginning,” said HSC Co-founder and Chief Science Officer, Benjamin Lind. “Our science-based approach to breeding aligns perfectly with Apollo Green’s high standards and we are excited to be able to extend these hand-selected cuts to a wider audience, especially at this pivotal time where we’re seeing positive regulatory changes globally.”
Oisin Tierney, Apollo Green Director of Business Development, said, “California has long been recognized for setting industry standards, and we are proud to play a role in bringing these esteemed genetics to cultivators worldwide. The triploids are especially noteworthy in terms of the unprecedented potential for enhanced plant vigor, higher yields, shorter flowering times and superior returns for solventless extraction.”
