Net zero: our Climate Transition Action Plan
2024It’s our duty to protect your capital from the risks of climate change, but to also explore the opportunities that our rapidly changing world brings.
We believe that strong financial returns and meeting climate commitments go hand-in-hand. Our Climate Transition Action Plan outlines how we intend to transition to net zero by 2050 or sooner, integrating climate considerations into all that we do.
The science is clear: climate change is happening. In response, policymakers, businesses and individuals are adapting and reshaping the world around us – from transitioning to renewable energy, finding new ways to grow food, or buying electric cars. These decisions are creating investment opportunities and risks that didn’t previously exist.
Understanding these changing dynamics is a key to meeting our own climate commitments and, importantly, delivering strong financial returns to our clients. To read about the progress we’ve made against our Climate Transition Action Plan, read our latest 2024 report:
