The Environment Agency Pension Fund (EAPF), part of the UK’s local government pension scheme, is aiming to halve the carbon emissions associated with its investments by 2030, and reduce them to net-zero by 2045.
The plan is to reduce emissions in listed equities, EAPF’s largest asset class, by 87% by 2025 and by 95% by 2030, compared with a 2010 baseline.
According to research carried out by Mercer for EAPF, the decarbonisation in its equity portfolio from 2010-2020 puts the pension fund around four to five years ahead of a decarbonisation pathway consistent with a 1.5°C scenario.
Marion Maloney, head of responsible investment and governance at the fund, said the value of its listed equity portfolio rose by 94% over the same period that the carbon emissions associated with the portfolio fell by 74%. This is based on Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
