Barrick Gold Corporation

What I learned

Barrick’s sustainable vision is perfectly aligned with SDGs (Slide 9)- These points indicate

that Barrick is committed to conducting its operations in a socially responsible and

environmentally sustainable manner, which aligns with broader global goals for sustainable

development. We can also compare that with our chosen company (Nutrien), Nutrien supports

accessibility through a variety of communication channels. ESG Report, Company Website,

press releases, and other report filing.

Have you heard of Tito?

It seems that the peer was referring to something about “Tito." Without an intro or context, it's

challenging to understand what Tito is. Providing more information or context would have been

helpful for the audience to better understand and engage with the topic. Without sufficient

information, the audience may struggle to grasp the significance or relevance of Tito to the

discussion. Therefore, providing more details and resources would greatly improve the

presentation's clarity and impact.

Microsoft

Positive: They made a very good presentation and presented in detail plans for 2050.
Negative: From the perspective of Green Finance, they could elaborate on how Microsoft is

going to make carbon negative.

GFL

What I learned?

I liked their analysis, and I learnt about what a great job this company was doing and secondly i

also came to know about the share price of the company.

Areas to improve:

As far as I noticed they should have discussed more about SDGs too with connections to their

company and also they could have mentioned more about the government-related initiatives that

company has taken or is working on.

Overall, their analysis was informative and not too long, was on point.

United Rental

What did I learn?

From my point of view, their research about the company is above the level. I learned about the

company's initiatives for the environment and society. I also came to know about the goals of the

company in the future.

Areas to improve:

As per my observation, they should have discussed more about the financial part of the

operations of the Company in connection with the raising the funds and utilization of funds in

connection with ESG.
