We seek to invest sustainably because we believe it leads to better long term outcomes for our clients, investee companies and communities they serve. By supporting businesses to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and transition to a low-carbon economy, we believe our efforts can help to preserve and create value, while delivering positive outcomes for communities and the environment.
In December 2020, we announced a commitment to invest and manage our portfolio in line with global net zero emissions by 2040.
The implementation of our net zero commitment is inherently complex, and we are in the early stages of making progress on our goals. There have been significant developments in this area over the past three years, including new methodologies that were not available in 2020, along with a deeper understanding of the various pathways to net zero and their associated challenges across the sectors and asset classes in which we invest.
In light of these developments, we confirm our commitment to invest and manage our portfolio in line with global net zero scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2040, where we have control or significant influence.1 Where we do not have control or significant influence, such as in our managed portfolio of public securities, we will continue to support the goals of the Paris Agreement2 in a manner consistent with our client-guided fiduciary and regulatory responsibilities.
Over the coming months, we will provide more detail on how we are implementing our net zero strategy across our various asset classes. We will also disclose further information on our interim targets, the assumptions we have made and the methodologies we are using.
1MAM generally only has influence over scope 1 and 2 emissions. However, to the extent possible, in line with the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative guidance, MAM intends to support assets where it has control or significant influence to reduce their scope 3 emissions.
2The Paris Agreement's central aim is to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by maintaining a global temperature rise this century well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5°C. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded the need for net zero emissions by 2050 to remain consistent with 1.5°C.
As long-term investors and members of the community, we care about the future and recognize the challenges the world faces. We believe that together with our partners, we can make a real difference. We also have a responsibility to do more – to not only deliver long-term value, but also have positive outcomes in the communities in which we operate. This requires expertise, passion and a singular focus to deliver.
