Our commitment
Change starts here. We’re proud to be a signatory to the Net Zero Asset Manager Initiative, which informs our investment approach. At COP26, we announced our ambitious target to reduce the carbon intensity of our assets by 50% by 2030 against a 2019 baseline. We also pledge to reduce our own operational carbon footprint by reaching net zero by 2040. We have committed to reducing emissions from energy use by 50% by 2025, procure 100% renewable electricity for our buildings, and offset those emissions we have yet to eliminate. Discover more about our climate commitments.
Climate Funds in Focus
Depending on where you want to allocate your capital and what your risk appetite is, our products each focus on specific aspects of the journey to Net Zero.
