Further information:
Target setting: Asteria considers its target is consistent with delivering a fair share of the 50% global reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030 as the AUM currently meeting the criteria to be considered aligned to net zero already represent 70% of total assets, aiming to reach 100% by 2030. This is well ahead of the expected deadline of 2040 set out in the PAII Net Zero Investment Framework.
