Responsible Investment Carbon Footprint

Our climate metrics and target

Our net zero journey

First Sentier Investors has the ambition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across its investment portfolios in line with a target of progressing towards net zero emissions by 2050 (or sooner) and across its business operations in line with a target of net zero emissions by 2030 (or sooner).

We believe that society must drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions if we are to avoid the worst consequences of the climate crisis. For this reason the First Sentier Investors Group supports the global transition to a low carbon economy in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement. As allocators of capital, stewards of our clients’ assets, and as active shareholders in companies on their behalf, the individual and collective decisions we make as investors can influence the nature and speed of this transition. We acknowledge that we have a wider responsibility to contribute through our investment activities and business operations to a sustainable economy and society.

Most investment teams pursuing active management strategies have developed a range of targets at team, portfolio and/or company level that they wish to pursue over the short-, medium- and long-term. Details are available on their pages under Our capabilities. Our net zero approach is guided by the Paris Aligned Investment Initiative’s Net Zero Investment Framework (PAII NZIF). Teams have set portfolio coverage and/or carbon intensity reduction targets and have committed to monitoring and tracking our progress against those targets.

The current proportion of our total assets under management (AUM) to be managed in line with our net zero ambition was 65.7%1 (as per 31 December 2023). We aim to increase the proportion of assets covered by formal net zero targets over time, as set out in our Climate Change Action Plan released in 2022 and our 2023 progress update. First Sentier Investors will continue to evaluate future inclusion of additional asset classes and investment strategies as methodologies and data become available.

 

1 Based on organisation-wide AUM as at 31 December 2021, inclusive of Stewart Investors. First Sentier Investors' initial AUM committed is 37.9% while Stewart Investors initially committed 100% of its AUM. For Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative (NZAM) reporting, Stewart Investors has an individual net zero commitment that is separate from First Sentier Investors’ commitment.

The net zero classification of companies

First Sentier Investors follows guidance from the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC) on classifying companies' net zero progress.

Companies can be classified as a) not aligned, b) committed to aligning, c) aligning towards a net zero pathway, d) aligned to a net zero pathway, or e) achieving net zero. This classification follows criteria outlined by the IIGCC.

  • Ambition - A long term goal consistent with achieving global net zero emissions by 2050
  • Targets - Short- and medium-term emissions reduction target (scope 1, 2 and material scope 3)
  • Disclosure - Disclosure of scope 1, 2 and material scope 3 emissions
  • Decarbonisation strategy - A quantified plan, setting out the measures that will be deployed to deliver on greenhouse gas targets, proportions of revenues that are green and, where relevant, increases in green revenues
  • Capital allocation alignment - A clear demonstration that the capital expenditures of the company are consistent with achieving net zero emissions by 2050
  • Emissions performance - Current emissions intensity performance (scope 1, 2 and material scope 3) relative to targets

A company which is already achieving the emissions intensity required by the sector and regional pathway for 2050, and whose ongoing investment plan or business model will maintain this performance. 

Climate metrics

An important part of furthering the conversation with clients around climate change risks and opportunities is transparency and good quality information. Each investment team has prepared a climate change statement describing their approach to incorporating climate-related issues into their strategies.

Carbon footprint reports

The listed equity teams also publish carbon footprint reports which can be accessed from their respective team pages. Below is the combined footprint for all listed equity portfolios.
