An initiative specifically focussed on asset managers getting to net-zero has been launched with 30 founding signatories drawn from across the world.
The launch of the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative comes ahead of the five-year anniversary of the Paris Agreement tomorrow.
Other asset managers are encouraged and expected to join the initiative. Signatories commit to supporting the goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner and investing aligned with that goal.
The commitment includes prioritising the achievement of real economy emission reductions within the sectors and companies in which the asset managers invest.
Investment Week is hosting its Alternatives Briefing at a pivotal time for investors as they start to position for the recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, although risks remain.
During this interactive briefing, we will hear from a number of alternatives managers about their response to the extraordinary events of the past year and their outlook for the rest of the year and beyond.
The managers will identify where they are seeing the biggest opportunities and risks at the moment for their portfolios and explain the role their strategies could play in helping diversify client portfolios.
Attendees will also get the chance to network with peers, quiz our speakers, as well as benefit from CPD points.
