Net-Zero Investment
August 9, 2022
Commitments aimed at mitigating climate change are on the rise among global investment institutions.
This white paper examines ways in which stakeholders throughout the institutional asset management industry are joining forces to ramp up the effort to mitigate climate change and quell the rise in average global temperatures. This growing alliance between asset allocators and investment managers is perhaps no more evident than in key industry stakeholders’ deepening commitment to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner.
Key Highlights
Explore Progress Toward the Net-Zero Goal
49% of European institutional asset owners plan to make a formal net-zero commitment within the next two years, compared to 31% in Asia and 29% in the U.S.
Understand Regulations and Industry Coalitions
European governments are imposing the strictest climate-based regulations upon the asset management industry, whereas regulatory bodies in the U.S. and Asia are at various stages of implementation.
Examine Portfolio-Level Action
Firm-specific risk monitoring, allocations to sustainable investments, and decarbonization strategies are becoming increasingly sophisticated and more pointed as better, more granular data is collected.
