As the fight against climate change intensifies, more companies than ever are understanding the pressing need to transform their business plans and prepare for a net zero future. As of June 2022, more than a third of the world’s largest publicly-traded companies had net zero targets, up from one fifth in December 2020, according to Net Zero Tracker.* As businesses increasingly incorporate environmental and carbon reduction commitments into their business strategies, they also need to consider the impact on their employees, potentially redeploying or retraining workers, as well as assessing the impact of their actions on the communities in which they operate. Against this evolving backdrop, the reasons for transforming your portfolio and aligning with net zero have never been stronger. In Episode 4 of AXA Investment Managers’ original series, 'Investors’ ESG Guidebook: The Road to Equitable and Sustainable Growth’ hear from thought leaders from across the responsible investing space about their views on the future of investing on the road to net zero.

The world’s publicly listed companies are running out of time to reach net-zero. Listed companies have less than six years to avoid breaching a key global-heating threshold unless they dramatically drive down emissions of carbon and other greenhouse gases, according to the latest Net-Zero Tracker, a quarterly report from MSCI. Companies must dramatically accelerate climate action to keep global warming this century to no more than 1.5°C, the limit scientists say the planet must achieve to avoid the worst impacts of a warming climate. Join thought leaders from MSCI ESG Research on October 26 for insights into the progress companies are making toward net-zero and information investors can draw on to inform decision-making. The session will address how investors are: • Assessing the progress of listed companies toward global climate goals • Measuring the temperature of investments • Spotting climate leaders and laggards in every industry • Putting portfolios on a net-zero pathway The session will also address the need for strong targets and timeframes to reach net-zero. Speakers: - Meggin Thwing Eastman, Global ESG Editorial Director, MSCI - Guido Giese, Head ESG and Climate Solutions Research, MSCI About MSCI We’re on a mission to power better investments for a better world.

abrdn Breakfast Briefing: Tackling net zero challenges
By:
Type: Talk
Despite dire warnings about the dangers of climate change and disastrous impacts ravaging across the globe today, the world is not on track to meet net zero goals. As members of the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative, we believe investors have a critical role to play in the all-important energy transition. We also believe decarbonisation provides a wide range of unprecedented investment opportunities. In order to achieve Net Zero carbon emissions by mid-century, investment in climate solutions technologies will need to grow from less than $1 trillion per year today to nearly $5 trillion per year by 2030. Join us to find out how your clients can invest in the transition to net zero, help in the fight against global warming, and add diversification to their portfolios. Our presenters will talk about the real world progress towards net zero and an overview of abrdn’s climate investment approach to support this.

Achieve sustainability goals while managing data growth
By:
Type: Video
Have cake eat cake If your organisation wants to make it to Net Zero, then management’s beady eye is fixed on the data centre. A meaningful commitment to Net Zero also means signing up to science-based targets. Suddenly, you have to account for your emissions in scope 1 (what you emit), scope 2 (the emissions caused by your electricity), and scope 3 (all other emissions in your value chain). Wait, what? Scope 3 are usually the biggest component of your carbon footprint, but how do you account for them, and how does that fit into a credible plan to reach Net Zero while your data needs continue to increase? You can’t kick the carbon can down the road, so join David Locke, EMEA Chief Technology Advisor at WWT and Patrick Smith, EMEA Field CTO at Pure Storage and The Reg’s Tim Phillips, who will be discussing: • What is Net Zero, and is it compatible with data growth? • What are Scope 3 emissions and how do you measure them? • Making a plan to reach Net Zero

Net Zero: Sourcing Reliable Data to Accelerate Progress
By:
Type: Talk
The world is seeing a rise in the collective commitment to net zero, and financial institutions worldwide are faced with a growing list of sustainability disclosure requirements from regulators. At the same time, public opinion is watching them and is expecting more ambitious and clear plans to act on their pledges and commitments. All members of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) from all sectors across the financial industry have committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, while providing transparent reporting and accounting on progress towards interim targets along the way. With heightened pressure from society and regulators, financial institutions are only missing one big part of it: accurate and reliable data to plan, track and execute toward a truly sustainable economy. In this webinar in partnership with Clarity AI, our expert panel will address the challenges investors face on the road to net zero, discussing the obstacles surrounding access to accurate and reliable data as well as providing insight into navigating the regulations. Some topics that will be covered during the webinar: • What is the main blocker in the race to net zero? • How feasible is it to achieve a net zero economy by 2050? What else is needed besides net zero alliances and actionable data? • Why is it so hard to get Scope 3 data and why has it been overlooked for so long? • How can financial institutions assess the suitability of a data provider? What should they look out for? • Are regulations really helping in taking the right steps towards decarbonization, or are they getting in the way of effective planning and execution of net zero strategies?

Build a sustainable, diversified net-zero investment portfolio
By:
Type: Talk
Achieving net-zero by 2050 is a mammoth task that requires cross-industry collaboration and support. Financial institutions are at the epicenter of this green revolution, tasked with the role of setting the pace and shape of our transition to net zero. For independent advisors and wealth managers, the shift to net-zero represents a huge opportunity. But it does not come without its risks. The first major challenge for advisors is in creating an effective assessment criteria, which ensures they are not greenwashing (marketing opportunities as sustainable when they are not.) Additionally, advisors need to understand how to offer clients better a stronger risk-return balance by diversifying. Doing this without impacting the overall sustainability of the portfolio can be tricky. In the third episode of BrightTALK’s Original Series, “ESG Innovation Hub” we’ll be inviting the brains behind some of this year’s most successful ESG portfolios to explore the future of sustainable investing and to present you with an action plan to constructing a sustainable and diversified net-zero investment portfolio.

Does where you invest impact your journey to net-zero?
By:
Type: Talk
2021 saw a wealth of commitments by investors to align with global climate goals. But for every net-zero promise there needs to be a clear plan of action that shows how investors intend to reduce emissions across their total portfolio. For the growing number of investors who invest in both listed and unlisted assets, there can be additional complexity when it comes to aligning with net-zero. This underscores the need to take climate change into account consistently across asset classes. On June 21, Bryan Murphy, Head of ESG & Climate Fixed Income, MSCI will be joined by Limin Yang, Managing Director - Investment Risk, CPP Investments to discuss some of the key questions that underlie the challenge, including: • How to understand and measure your complete emissions footprint across your total portfolio • The nuances of aligning with net-zero across private assets, real estate, fixed income and equities • Developments in climate-related financial reporting and disclosure in Europe, the U.K., and the U.S.
