IPC survey on Brazilian investors and the climate agenda
Signatories adherence to the IPC Pledge
ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION
The last few years have seen an evolution in the climate commitments of Brazilian investors. Among asset managers, some have pledged to disclose the greenhouse gas emissions financed by their portfolios and also to publish climate information.
More than twenty Brazilian investors, who together have more than R$2.3 trillion in assets under management, have signed the IPC Pledge, committing to disclose information on the management of climate risks and opportunities in their portfolios and to engage at least one investee company in this agenda.
Based on this, the IPC carried out a study analyzing twenty-three IPC Pledge signatory institutions about their alignment with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and their climate engagement practices with investee companies during 2022.
Increasing the transparency of Brazilian investors means, above all, improving the climate practices in question. The results illustrate progress and indicate that investors have not only taken the first step, but are also preparing to move forward consistently on the climate agenda.
ABOUT INVESTORS FOR CLIMATE (IPC)
IPC – Investors for Climate is an initiative by ERM NINT, supported by the Institute for Climate and Society (iCS), through its net-zero program (Programa Economia Zero Emissões). IPC adopts a forward-thinking approach with the primary objective of engaging and equipping local professional investors to further their decarbonization efforts in their portfolios while enhancing risk-adjusted returns.
Some global initiatives have already been engaging investors in efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of their portfolios, recognizing that both asset managers and asset owners contribute to global warming through their financing of the real economy.
In response to this challenge, ERM NINT and iCS have emerged as frontrunners, actively engaging domestic investors to contribute to the goals of the Paris Agreement.
