This Net Zero Investment Framework both encourages and raises ambition for the investment community, and supports investors in realising their net zero goals. This is a time for urgent action and the Framework provides a practical blueprint guiding, supporting and enabling investors to make significant progress this decade and well beyond. Market-leading companies have demonstrated that it is entirely possible to be profitable and sustainable at the same time. In fact, businesses and investments that are ESG aligned are increasingly out-performing those that are not.
To meet the commitments being made by investors, there will be a need not only to decarbonise portfolios, but also to increase financing for sustainable solutions in a way that can transform the economy. In this report, the work of IIGCC in creating a framework is shown, in pratice measures, to support investors and the global society. In this report, those investors who are already implementing the Framework are welcomed. In addition, the IIGCC encourages organisations and companies in the global investment community to commit to net zero and use this Framework to align their future returns with the future of the planet.
