Climate change: Inaction is not an option

By Nick Stansbury , Robert White

Seeking to deliver an active approach to engagement and investing.

Our latest Climate Solutions whitepaper makes the case that the greatest climate impact – and potentially also some of the greatest returns – can be sought by investing in those companies with high emissions or whose products have the greatest impact on other companies’ emissions.

Central to this approach is pro-active and profound company engagement; we believe in encouraging the companies to pull the levers necessary to target improved aggregate climate outcomes. The goal is to allocate more capital to drive the business opportunities the transition creates, while simultaneously driving down emissions over time.
