Wellington’s focus on climate change stems from the conviction that costs associated with decarbonizing the global economy and building resilience to physical climate risks will affect asset prices, with potentially signficant consequences for the portfolios we manage on behalf of our clients. At the same time, the climate-related investment opportunity set continues to expand.
In this year’s Climate Report, in accordance with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), we provide an update on our climate research and engagement efforts, governance and risk oversight, climate-focused investment offerings (which we have extended to alternatives, including private markets), and industry leadership activity. We also share progress on our efforts to lower our operational carbon footprint.
