Church Commissioners to Reduce Carbon Emissions by 25% by 2025

Church Commissioners to Reduce Carbon Emissions by 25% by 2025 The fund said it will achieve this mainly through its public equities and real estate portfolios. The Church Commissioners for England is aiming to reduce carbon emissions in its fund by 25% by 2025, mainly through its public equities and real estate portfolios.  That goal is based on a 2019 baseline, the fund said this week. The $12.1 billion investment manager will also reduce emissions across its other portfolios as reliable climate-related data becomes available. “Real action is necessary to respond to the climate emergency,” Tom Joy, chief investment officer at the Church Commissioners for England, said in a statement. “This 25% reduction in carbon intensity will be the first step in getting there.” 

Climate roundup: Net-zero group tackles manager proxy voting

By Susanna Rust2021-04-15T14:36:00+01:00 The way asset managers cast votes on climate-related issues should not be influenced by the status of company engagement “or other management considerations”, according to guidelines from the UN-convened Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance (NZAOA). In a new publication – billed as being about ‘Elevating Climate Diligence on Proxy Voting Approaches’ – the group of asset owners wrote that asset managers’ proxy voting policies and supporting documents should “include a commitment to Climate Votes being evaluated based on merit of the proposal”. By way of example, the Alliance members indicated this would mean “a productive engagement is not used as an excuse for a vote against a shareholder proposal with which the manager finds merit”.

​Folksam, KPA set 2025 climate goals, counting on persuasion

By Rachel Fixsen2021-04-06T14:58:00+01:00 Swedish pensions and insurance group Folksam, and its municipal pension fund subsidiary KPA Pension, have set new 2025 climate goals, pledging to reduce carbon emissions associated with their equities, corporate bonds and real estate portfolios by 29% by then. Both firms also said they were aiming to persuade half of their highest-emitting investees to adopt science-based climate targets, and had adopted goals to promote the availability of green investments by convincing players in the primary market to offer them. Ylva Wessén, Folksam’s group chief executive officer, said her company’s goal of net-zero emissions by 2050 was ambitious, but not enough: “It must be broken down into equally ambitious sub-goals, linked to credible plans and followed up regularly.”

Zurich Insurance Deepens Climate Change Strategy April 1, 2021 Targets will include its own internal operations, companies it invests in and businesses it insures. “Our role as an insurer is to protect people and climate change is the greatest risk there is,” Zurich Group CEO Mario Greco said in prepared remarks. “We are using our influence as a global insurer and investor to drive deep cuts in emissions, because working with others is where we can make the biggest impact.” Related: The Swiss insurer has operated as a carbon neutral company since 2014, and noted it has demonstrated accountability for emissions since it began to measure them in 2007. Zurich said its new, more rigorous goals fulfill and build on its commitments as a founding member of the UN Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance, through which the insurer committed to holding a net-zero investment portfolio by 2050.
