A final word

Climate change is a sustainability challenge facing us all. The transition towards a low carbon economy is a global challenge, requiring global solutions. For investors, climate change and the need for a rapid transition to a low-carbon economy present significant financial risks as well as investment opportunities. Eastspring believes in the need for a just and inclusive transition, in a way that actively places the considerations of emerging and frontier market economies at the forefront of discussions. We are focusing our support on accelerating the clean energy transition through engagement and opportunities for financing, rather than solely divestment. In addition, we consider environmental risks, including climate risks, and opportunities in the assessment of current and potential portfolio companies. We continue to make strides in our climate change mitigation, portfolio resilience, and risk management efforts across various fronts.
