Phasing out thermal coal - Our forward-looking approach to support a just energy transition
10 min read 19 Oct 21
- We believe addressing coal is a key step in the journey to transition our investments to net zero emissions by 2050
- We will use our influence as a global investor to drive positive change and help decarbonise the energy system
- We commit to removing our public equity and fixed income exposure to unabated coal by 2030 in OECD countries and the EU, and by 2040 across the rest of the world
- We will be actively engaging with companies to support their phase-out from coal and transition to Paris alignment
- We will begin divestment in developed markets, where engagement efforts have been unsuccessful and companies fail our criteria, from March 2022, and in developing markets from March 2024
The value of investments will fluctuate, which will cause prices to fall as well as rise and you may not get back the original amount you invested. Past performance is not a guide to future performance.
