An initiative specifically focussed on asset managers getting to net-zero has been launched with 30 founding signatories drawn from across the world.
The launch of the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative comes ahead of the five-year anniversary of the Paris Agreement tomorrow.
Other asset managers are encouraged and expected to join the initiative. Signatories commit to supporting the goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner and investing aligned with that goal.
The commitment includes prioritising the achievement of real economy emission reductions within the sectors and companies in which the asset managers invest.
