Additional information

Proportion of AUM committed:

Our initial commitment only includes asset classes where there are well established methodologies with data access from third party data providers. We aim to increase the percentage over time to other asset classes when data availability and quality are improved. We will also actively engage with asset owners on integrating net zero targets in their investment mandates.

Policy on coal and other fossil fuel investments:

We do not have a firmwide exclusion policy on coal and other fossil fuel investments. Engagement with highemission industries is at the core of our net zero commitment. Divestment will be considered as a last resort to meet the target.
