Reflecting on how ESG investing, accounting and governance have evolved over time
Climate change is one of the biggest issues we face today. It is ubiquitous, knowing no geographic, economic or social bounds, and has potentially devastating effects. Policymakers, corporations and investors have started to recognise and mitigate those effects, with pledges and commitments in favour of a more climate-friendly way of living, and producing goods and services. A climate transition is already under way. This transition to a low carbon economy cannot be ignored, as societal (and regulatory) pressures will continue to increase and force companies to act. While this creates marked risks for investors – with certain industries and geographies impacted more than others – it can also create opportunities. In some cases, return and risk objectives may conflict with climate objectives and require judgement on the appropriate strategy.
This chapter will discuss the key metrics that might be used to evaluate exposure to carbon risk, and highlight the approaches that could be adopted to align portfolios with decarbonisation and net zero11 Net zero refers to a state in which the greenhouse gases (GHGs) going into the atmosphere are balanced by removal out of the atmosphere
