Climate Goals & Targets

Long-term Goals:
  • Net zero emissions by 2050
Medium-term Goals:
  • By 2030, 85% of financed emissions from corporate bond issuers held in our portfolios will be invested in issuers that are considered Paris-aligned.

Environmental Challenges

  • Data limitations in fully running net zero alignment analysis across portfolios
  • Data gaps and difficulties in mapping index constituents for WACI benchmarking
  • Data availability challenges in accounting for emissions of sub-national issuers
Mitigation Strategies
  • Engaging with and encouraging issuers to enhance disclosure
  • Refining sovereign WACI methodology to align with PCAF definitions
  • Continuing to refine approach to sovereign WACI calculations as data availability for sub-sovereign issuers improves
