Climate Goals & Targets

Long-term Goals:
  • Achieve carbon neutrality in investment portfolio by 2050
Medium-term Goals:
  • Increase investments in assets contributing to energy transition
  • Achieve 50% of listed company portfolio's carbon footprint with SBTi-validated targets aligned with 1.5°C or lower by 2050
Short-term Goals:

  • 15% reduction in surface intensity of AOA real estate portfolio by 2024
  • Alignment of AOA real estate portfolio with CRREM 1.5°C scenario by 2025

Environmental Challenges

  • Data collection challenges for ESG reporting, particularly for unlisted assets and scope 3 emissions
  • Lack of granular data for certain sectors (e.g., petrochemicals)
  • Low response rate from underlying companies in private equity portfolio
  • Complexity of biodiversity data and metrics
  • Insufficient information provided by issuers on green bonds
Mitigation Strategies
  • Development of specific provisions for applying SRI guidelines to different asset classes
  • Use of quantitative rules to define eligible investment universe
  • Best-in-class approach for issuer selection
  • Engagement with companies to improve transparency and ESG performance
  • Collaboration with data providers (Moody's ESG Solutions, Sustainalytics, S&P Global, Carbone 4, Iceberg Data Lab, CBRE Conseil & Transaction) to improve data quality and coverage
  • Redesigning questionnaires to improve response rates
  • Development of internal training programs on ESG and climate-related issues

Supply Chain Management

Responsible Procurement
  • Responsible supply chain management is a criterion in ERAFP's SRI Charter
