Additional information

Proportion of AUM committed:

As at the end of 2020, our baseline year in setting up the objective, only 68,5%% of our AUM were managed in line with net zero.
This is due to the fact that, as at this date, the methodology we were using (SBTi Temperature Ratings) was excluding public/sovereign issuers from its scope.

Policy on coal and other fossil fuel investments:

While DNCA Finance has set for itself specific objectives to exit the coal and unconventional oil & gas production, it does not have – at this stage – any plans to adopt a science-based policy on coal and other fossil fuel investment.
