Video: Why we've signed up to the COP26 "Race to Zero" and what it means – David Neal
Our Chief Executive, David Neal, made a short video to highlight the actions IFM Investors is taking now and over the coming decade to target net zero carbon emissions across our investment portfolios by 2050.
We know that to get to net zero by 2050, we need to act now.
For IFM Investors, that means 2030 interim emission reduction targets for our infrastructure assets. And it means phasing out thermal coal. It also means seeking to increase the amount we invest in the significant opportunities arising from the energy transition.
Our purpose is to protect and grow the long-term retirement savings of working people. To continue doing that, it is vital that we have a plan to mitigate the risks of climate change.
So we're proud to have signed up to “Race to Zero”. And I encourage you to sign up to.
