Net Zero and Zero Carbon might be investors’ targets. Decarbonisation strategies lead towards achieving these objectives.
Unique decarbonisation strategies
Today, institutional investors and asset managers develop their unique decarbonisation strategies to ensure a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in investee companies and on the portfolio level, in line with global efforts to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Joining Net Zero alliances and initiatives is a good starting point. Developing a dedicated decarbonisation strategy based on sound scientific analysis and the relevant dataset is moving the needle in the mid and long term.
