The Growing Importance of Sustainability in Valuation – Key Discussions at IVC 2024
Description : IVC 2024 in Kochi will spotlight ESG integration in valuation, covering sustainability in asset valuation, carbon credits, and green practices. Join Dec 5-7 to stay ahead on ESG trends!
With the focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors becoming more prominent in business and finance, the valuation industry is adapting to include these considerations in its practices. The Indian Valuers Congress (IVC) 2024, hosted by the Institution of Valuers (IOV) from December 5-7 in Kochi, will address the integration of sustainability within the valuation process. Here’s an overview of the key discussions around sustainability that will be explored at IVC 2024.
1. ESG Factors in Valuation
One of the primary discussions at IVC 2024 will center around the inclusion of ESG factors in valuation practices. As stakeholders become more aware of the long-term impacts of environmental and social factors on assets, valuers are examining how to reflect these factors accurately. Sessions will explore how valuers can adapt their methodologies to consider elements like environmental impact and social responsibility, aligning with emerging expectations for sustainable valuation.
2. Carbon Credits and Green Asset Valuation
A session led by Ashutosh Kumar Srivastava on “Carbon Credits: A New Frontier for Auditing & Compliance” will introduce valuers to the concept of carbon credits. As industries adopt carbon credits to offset emissions, understanding their valuation becomes relevant. This session aims to discuss how valuers can assess carbon credits and other green assets, offering insights into this growing area of compliance and auditing.
3. Marine Valuation and Environmental Considerations
The congress will also explore niche areas like marine asset valuation in a session led by Vaibhav Nagarkar, titled “Marine Valuation – A New Horizon.” This session will examine how environmental factors specific to marine assets can impact valuation. As marine and coastal areas gain attention for their ecological significance, understanding valuation practices that consider environmental impacts is crucial for valuers specializing in these assets.
4. Evidence-Based Valuation for ESG Reporting
With the increasing focus on sustainability reporting, there is a growing need for evidence-based valuation methods that support ESG metrics. Dr. Kishore Nuthalapati will discuss the importance of using robust data collection and analysis in valuations that consider ESG factors. This approach can help in providing transparent and data-driven valuations that meet the standards required for ESG reporting.
5. Standards and Best Practices for Sustainable Valuation
Global standards and best practices are evolving to include sustainability considerations in valuation. A session by G V Apparao on “Standards and Best Practices” will address how these standards apply to ESG factors. For valuers working in markets where sustainability has become a priority, understanding these standards is key to ensuring consistency and reliability in their assessments.
Why Sustainability is Relevant in Valuation
The discussions at IVC 2024 reflect the growing relevance of sustainability in the valuation profession. As more sectors incorporate ESG considerations into their decision-making processes, valuers are adapting to include these factors in their practices. The congress aims to provide valuers with a foundational understanding of how sustainability impacts valuation, offering practical insights that align with these changes.
IVC 2024 offers a focused look at how sustainability is influencing valuation practices, with sessions on ESG factors, carbon credits, marine valuation, and evolving standards. For valuers interested in understanding these developments, attending IVC 2024 provides an opportunity to learn from industry experts and explore how sustainability is shaping the future of valuation.
