Our climate is changing. Around the world, we are seeing rising temperatures and a dramatic increase in extreme weather events. Addressing climate change is a huge undertaking. However, it is also creating compelling opportunities for industry, enterprise and investors to be part of the solution.
Climate Change is part of our overall focus on Sustainable investing.
At abrdn, we are committed to help tackle climate change – for our clients, shareholders and future generations. We believe that investing in transition leaders and climate solutions that can help transform our world, together with active engagement, provides us with a clear opportunity to deliver strong outcomes for our clients, and help the world on its path to net zero carbon emissions.
Change starts here. We’re proud to be a signatory to the Net Zero Asset Manager Initiative, which informs how we conduct research, select and manage investments. We also pledge to reduce our own operational carbon footprint. We commit 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.
This document sets out the role we play in financing the transition to a low-carbon economy, and how the adaptation to climate change impacts our products and investment decisions.
We are committed to playing a constructive role in the decarbonisation of the global economy and serving the long-term interests of our clients. We are proud to be a signatory of the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative, with a dedicated focus on financing the transition to a low-carbon economy. Read our Climate Investment Strategy white paper.
