Climate

We're committed to reach net zero by 2050, and are working to decarbonise the investments we manage on behalf of our clients as well as our business operations. We're beginning to broaden our approach to consider our impacts and the opportunities associated with natural capital and social equality.

Our pathway to Net Zero by 2050

Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative Targets

M&G is a founding member of the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative (NZAMI), an international group of asset managers committed to supporting the goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner. In 2021, we set initial interim targets towards net zero, and report progress annually, in line with the requirements of NZAMI. Over time, these interim targets will be revised as we obtain external client consent and as standard measurement methodology for all asset classes develops.

Slide 1 of

Our corporate carbon reduction commitments

Whilst emissions from our corporate operations, our offices, travel and supply chain are small compared to those of investment activities, our clients, customers and shareholders rightly expect us to lead by example and strive to decarbonise our own business operations.

Our ambition is that:

By 2025 have 100% renewable electricity across our corporate offices
By 2030 reduce our absolute scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions (tCO2e) from the offices we operate from by 46% and similarly reduce our scope 1,2 and 3 business travel carbon emissions (tCO2e) by 46%.
By 2030 at least 67% of our scope 3 supply chain emissions are covered by science-based climate target
