InfraRed Capital Partners Limited (“InfraRed”) is pleased to announce that it has joined the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative, a group of 128 international asset managers representing $43 trillion, who are committed to supporting the goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner, in line with global efforts to limit warming to 1.5°c.
By joining the initiative, InfraRed has committed to achieving net-zero emissions for its portfolio by 2050 or sooner and it will also set 2030 interim reduction targets for a proportion of its assets under management within the next year. These commitments follow InfraRed’s decision to become Carbon Neutral from 2019 onwards and a TCFD supporter in 2020.
Werner von Guionneau, Chief Executive Officer of InfraRed Capital Partners, said:
“We are proud to join the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative and look forward to working with other like-minded asset managers to tackle one of the largest challenges faced by society. As a responsible asset manager, we firmly believe that it is in the best interests of our investors, clients and other stakeholders that InfraRed engages proactively to make a positive contribution to climate action.
With a portfolio of over 250 real assets, we have an opportunity to effect significant, positive change. Committing to net zero by 2050 is the next step in our climate journey. Joining the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative will support our ongoing efforts to be a leading driver of change within the asset management industry. This commitment fully aligns with our vision of creating a sustainable future.”
