#Makeourplanetgreatagain CLIMATEACTION100.ORG: Climate Action 100+ Sign-on Statement and Investor Signatories









Climate Action 100+ Sign-on Statement and Investor Signatories

Climate Action 100+ is a collaborative five-year global initiative that requires investors to sign-on to a public statement (below) that sets out the commitment from investor signatories and expectations of the companies on the focus list. To date, 225 investors with more than USD $26.3 trillion in assets under management have signed on to the Climate Action 100+ Sign-on Statement.
Climate Action 100+ Sign-on Statement
Background
We, the institutional investors that are signatories to this statement, are aware of the risks climate change presents to our portfolios and asset values in the short, medium and long term. We therefore support the Paris Agreement and the need for the world to transition to a lower carbon economy consistent with a goal of keeping the increase in global average temperature to well below 2°Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
Through this initiative, we aim to fulfill the commitment made in the “2014/15 Global Investor Statement on Climate Change” which stated that “…as institutional investors and consistent with our fiduciary duty to our beneficiaries, we will work with the companies in which we invest to ensure that they are minimising and disclosing the risks and maximising the opportunities presented by climate change.”
Commitment
We believe that engaging and working with the companies in which we invest – to communicate the need for greater disclosure around climate change risk and company strategies aligned with the Paris Agreement – is consistent with our fiduciary duty and will contribute to achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement.
The initiative aims to secure commitments from the boards and senior management to:
  1. Implement a strong governance framework which clearly articulates the board’s accountability and oversight of climate change risk and opportunities.
  2. Take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across their value chain, consistent with the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global average temperature increase to well below 2-degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
  3. Provide enhanced corporate disclosure in line with the final recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and sector-specific Global Investor Coalition on Climate Change Investor Expectations on Climate Change* (when applicable) to enable investors to assess the robustness of companies’ business plans against a range of climate scenarios, including well below  2-degrees Celsius scenario, and to improve investment decision-making.
Working through partner organisations, Asia Investor Group on Climate Change (AIGCC); Ceres; Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC); Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC); and Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), we will together monitor the progress that companies make towards these goals. We are committed to working collaboratively through this initiative, using a range of engagement approaches to ensure fulfilment of the above-mentioned goals.
*Global Investor Coalition on Climate Change is a joint initiative of four partner organisations that represent investors on climate change and the transition to a low carbon economy: AIGCC (Asia), Ceres (North America), IGCC (Australia/NZ), and IIGCC (Europe). The existing GIC Investor Expectations sector guides cover oil and gasminingutilities and auto manufacturers. They provide additional sector-specific disclosure recommendations, particularly regarding the oversight of public policy positions. The series will cover steel, chemicals and cement by Q2 2018.
