Target(s):

2030

Portfolio decarbonisation reference target

For our Future World, Asia and Indian Subcontinent funds we have constructed a net zero aligned emissions pathway, using each fund’s benchmark at the base year and reducing this by -60% by 2030. The Global Impact Fund intensity will remain at 60% lower than the intensity of its index (ACWI) at all times.

2030

Portfolio coverage target

We target that our emerging market funds will have, on average, 20% of financed emissions in material sectors being net zero or aligned by 2030. For our Global Impact Fund, 100% of financed emissions in material sectors will be net zero or aligned.

2030

Engagement threshold target

100% of financed emissions to be under engagement.

GHG scopes included:

Scope 1 and 2 only for the portfolio-level emissions pathway. In sectors where Scope 3 emissions are material, our company-level assessment covers disclosure, and for certain companies considers whether company targets cover all relevant scopes.

Methodology:

Net Zero Investment Framework

Scenario(s):

We use the IPCC special report on global warming of 1.5°C as a basis from which to derive the target

Additional information

Proportion of AUM committed:

Not included within the scope of this target currently is the Alquity Africa Fund due to a lack of reliable available emissions data, which we hope will improve over time to enable us to add this fund.

Policy on coal and other fossil fuel investments:

We exclude all coal or fossil fuel investment from our portfolios. This is consistent with our climate declaration.
