Climate change is one of the defining issues of our time. In recognition of its potentially catastrophic outcomes for the world – and our clients’ assets – we support efforts to limit carbon emissions to net zero by 2050. Under our Climate Impact Pledge, we commit to helping companies to reach this objective.
Sector guides
- Voting sanctions can apply to companies not meeting minimum standards in our quantitative assessment or over time not meeting red lines in our qualitative assessment, across 20 pre-determined climate critical sectors. Voting sanctions are applied across L&G’s equity holdings.
- As at December 31 2024. Percentages are calculated by looking at corporate equity and debt holdings only. Percentages are calculated for the aforementioned holdings where carbon data can be found. Carbon data is from ISS, using ESG data and reporting enrichment to map to issuers of corporate bonds.
