Summary

The progress of reaching the 2016 Paris Agreement commitment of net-zero emissions globally by the second half of this century has been worrying slow. Research by S&P Global Trucost shows that major global companies are falling 72% short of the required emissions reductions at this stage. The recent explosion of net-zero commitments from companies, financial institutions, and countries provides welcome optimism.

We have recently published a case study to illustrate how portfolio managers can reduce the overall carbon footprint of their portfolio while maintaining their underlying risk & return characteristics with our Trucost carbon data and ClariFI solution. Join our webinar as we discuss our research and practical know-how in optimizing investment portfolios and reducing carbon footprint.

Key highlights:

  • How to optimize an investment portfolio to passively mimic benchmark characteristics while tilting its holdings to create a greener portfolio?
  • How to use carbon scope 1+2 as a secondary constraint in the optimization process?
  • How to create lower carbon portfolios with better climate characteristics than their benchmarks?
  • How can S&P Global’s ClariFI solution support your investment process?
