Launched in September 2019 at the United Nations\u2019 Climate Action Summit, the Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance
\nbrings together insurers and pension funds who commit to making their investment portfolios carbon neutral by 2050.<\/p>\n
By targeting the transition of their portfolios to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, the members of the
\nAlliance wish to help limit global warming to 1.5\u00b0C in line with the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n
The current members of the Alliance are Alecta, Allianz, AMF Pension, AXA, Aviva, Caisse des D\u00e9p\u00f4ts et
\nConsignations (CDC), Caisse de D\u00e9p\u00f4t et Placement du Qu\u00e9bec (CDPQ), CalPERS, CNP Assurances, Folksam
\nGroup, FRR, Nordea Life and Pension, PensionDanmark, Storebrand, SwissRe and Zurich. The Alliance wants to
\ncontinue to bring together other institutional investors in order to quickly achieve a critical size, and thus play a key
\nrole in decarbonising the global economy and investing in climate change resilience.<\/p>\n
As part of this long-term commitment, CNP Assurances and the other members of the Alliance will take into account
\nadvances in available scientific knowledge, particularly the conclusions of the IPCC, and will regularly report on the
\nprogress made by setting interim objectives every five years to 2050.<\/p>\n
Joining the Alliance involves implementing three action levers: regularly measuring the investment portfolio\u2019s
\nalignment with the Paris Agreement and publishing the progress made, conducting a shareholder dialogue with
\ncompanies to ensure they are also targeting carbon neutrality, calling for public policies that promote the transition
\nto a decarbonised economy. The commitment of Alliance members to carbon-neutral portfolios is indeed based on
\nthe assumption that governments will fulfill their own commitments to meeting the objectives of the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n
“We are pleased to contribute, together with the other members of the Alliance and under the aegis of the United CNP Assurances is among the first French institutional investors to sign up to the Net-Zero Asset Owner
\nNations, to this remarkable initiative to limit global warming and meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement. We want
\nto work with all French asset-owners to create a real dynamic and achieve carbon neutrality in our portfolios by 2050”<\/em>,
