The challenge
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.

The opportunity

Our commitment
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.
