Our approach and credentials
At LGIM, we believe environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors – such as climate change, social inequality and executive pay – are financially material. So we see responsible investing as the incorporation of ESG considerations into investment decisions.
Responsible investing, in our view, is essential to mitigate risks, unearth investment opportunities and strengthen long-term returns for clients. It is also core to our approach: our very purpose at LGIM is to create a better future through responsible investing.
Net Zero 2050: More affordable than ever, if we act now
Our research suggests the window to achieve a 1.5°C outcome, consistent with ‘net zero’ emissions by 2050, is closing fast. But it also highlights the surprisingly positive reductions in the cost to achieve such an outcome.
Reaching net zero: LGIM’s approach
Fighting climate change requires global greenhouse gas emissions to reach net zero. As an asset manager, we are committed to playing our part in this critical mission.
