Climate Action 1, 2, 3! Keeping it Real Assets
-
- Investing
As long-term infrastructure investors, it is vital that we manage the risks and opportunities presented by climate change and the energy transition. Our target is to achieve net zero emissions in our portfolio by 2050. Recognising the need for progress well before then, we launched Climate Action 1, 2, 3!: an action plan with three steps we aim for all portfolio companies to take. In this latest episode, Sophie Durham, Head of ESG, Europe discusses how we implement Climate Action 1, 2, 3! across our diverse portfolio of infrastructure businesses.
