Recent extreme weather has highlighted the urgent need to decarbonise the global economy. To limit global warming, we need to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Reaching this goal will require significant capital investment, and governments worldwide are backing ambitious climate targets with policies and regulations. We believe decarbonisation is a structural trend offering significant opportunities for long-term investors. When investing, we seek companies making tangible contributions towards the Paris Agreement on climate change with strong business models that can compound returns over a long period.
