The Net Zero Asset Managers initiative is an international group of asset managers committed, consistent with their fiduciary duty to their clients and beneficiaries, to supporting the goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner, in line with global efforts to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius; and to supporting investing aligned with net zero emissions by 2050 or sooner.
The Net Zero Asset Managers initiative is a formal partner of the UNFCCC’s Race to Zero Campaign.

Introduction
The Net Zero Asset Managers initiative launched in December 2020 and aims to galvanise the asset management industry to commit to a goal of net zero emissions in order to mitigate financial risk and to maximise long-term value of assets.
The initiative is endorsed by Investor Agenda and governed by six investor networks (listed below) – also referred to as the ‘Network Partners’. The Steering Committee of the Network Partners’ CEOs is responsible for the coordination and implementation of the initiative, which includes ensuring that relevant support is provided to signatories to enable best practice implementation of the commitment.
An Advisory Group of asset manager signatories informs the Steering Committee in its management and coordination of the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative. The current Advisory Group members are: Edward Mason (Generation Investment Management), Catherine Ogden (Legal and General Investment Management), Charles Nguyen (Neuberger Berman), Silva Dezelan (Stafford Capital Partners), Takeshi Wada (Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Asset Management) and Wendy Cromwell (Wellington Management).
The initiative is open to any asset manager globally that is also a member of one of the Network Partner networks. For more information on the initiative please contact us.
