Our path to Net zero
In July 2021, we signed up to the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative1 , which encourages investment firms to commit to manage assets in line with the attainment of net zero emissions by 2050. The agreement also accelerates our journey towards developing climate solutions that support the net-zero transition. Our approach is to dedicate 38 per cent of total assets under management (AUM) – across listed equities and corporate fixed-income investments – to decarbonisation. This will be achieved by reducing our portfolios’ Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions intensity by 58 per cent by 2030.
