The Net Zero Asset Managers initiative has published a statement from asset owners representing USD 3.7 trillion in assets calling on investment managers to remain or become signatories and use the updated NZAM Commitment Statement to reaffirm their support for net zero-aligned investing. The group frames the management of climate-related financial risks and transition opportunities as part of managers’ fiduciary responsibilities to protect and grow long-term beneficiary value. The asset owners expect managers to integrate climate considerations into investment decisions, make credible science-based commitments and provide transparent reporting that enables accountability. They also call for consistency across stewardship, company and market engagement, investment products and policy advocacy, and will continue engaging their managers on their commitment to NZAM.
