Aligning Climate Policy Engagement with Net-Zero Commitments

This UNEP FI paper supports asset owners in assessing the climate policy engagement approaches with their asset managers. It provides key principles to evaluate and engage asset managers on both their in-house climate policy engagement and on their portfolio stewardship activities regarding investees’ climate policy engagement.

Key points

Some of the key principles and findings found within the paper are as follows:

  • Asset managers should publish a governance framework that describes their climate policy engagement strategy. They should also indicate what oversight mechanisms exist for their direct and indirect climate policy engagement and climate policy engagement-related stewardship practices.
  • Asset managers should align their direct and indirect climate policy engagement with their stated climate commitments.
  • Asset managers should align their climate policy engagement-related stewardship practices with their stated climate commitments.
  • Asset managers should publish disclosures that provide sufficient information on alignment with the principles and practices outlined in this paper.
