Climate investing
Few issues are as significant to our environment and society, and investment returns, as climate change. In response to this monumental challenge, we provide low-carbon solutions across asset classes and investment strategies. We also partner with clients on decarbonisation objectives, Paris-aligned solutions, and climate action investing.
Our climate research includes scenario planning and our proprietary LGIM Destination@Risk tookit, both of which are instrumental in seeking to mitigate risks, unearth investment opportunities and strengthen long-term returns for clients. It is also core to our approach: which is to create a better future through responsible investing.
Net-zero aligned global credit
Providing actively managed global credit solutions, with a focus on net-zero temperature goals, along with carbon-reduction targets compared to the benchmark.
Paris-aligned solutions
Offering global equity solutions that provide low-carbon emission exposure to equity markets, designed to meet the minimum requirements of the EU Paris-aligned benchmark regulations.
Climate action investing
Combining shareholder value and achieving net-zero goals needn't be mutually exclusive. That's why we've developed a new engagement-led approach to climate action investing, aimed at redefining the net-zero paradigm for companies.
Net Zero 2050: More affordable than ever, if we act now
Our research suggests the window to achieve a 1.5°C outcome, consistent with ‘net zero’ emissions by 2050, is closing fast. But it also highlights the surprisingly positive reductions in the cost to achieve such an outcome.
Reaching net zero: L&G's approach
Fighting climate change requires global greenhouse gas emissions to reach net zero. As an asset manager, we are committed to playing our part in this critical mission.
Our ESG Tools
LGIM Destination@Risk has been developed as a proprietary toolkit to assess climate related risk for our investments.
Our Temperature Alignment provides a tool for measuring and managing the impact of investments on climate change.
Climate Impact Pledge
Our 2025 report outlines how we are making our targeted engagement programme even more ambitious, in order to bring about net-zero carbon emissions.
The time value of decarbonisation
Recognising it can be difficult to compare companies’ pathways in a standardised, like-for-like way, LGIM's Climate Solutions team has developed a new tool: the carbon discount rate.
Insights: Net Zero 2050
Our research suggests the window to achieve a 1.5°C outcome, consistent with ‘net zero’ emissions by 2050, is closing fast. But it also highlights the surprisingly positive reductions in the cost to achieve such an outcome.
Responsible investing
Our responsible investing site hosts a range of educational and thought-provoking articles, blogs and videos as well as helpful information on our latest stewardship activity.
Key risks
The value of any investment and any income taken from it is not guaranteed and can go down as well as up, and investors may get back less than the amount originally invested.
Whilst we have incorporated ESG information into investment decision making and stewardship practices, there can be no assurance that any responsible investing goals will be met.
