Schroders has joined 29 other global asset managers representing more than USD 9 trillion of assets in launching the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative. This leading group of asset managers commits to supporting the goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner, in line with global efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C.

As part of this initiative, we commit to:

Work in partnership with asset owner clients on decarbonisation goals, consistent with an ambition to reach net zero emissions by 2050 or sooner across all assets under management;
Set an interim target for the proportion of assets to be managed in line with the attainment of net zero emissions by 2050 or sooner; and
Review our interim target at least every five years, with a goal of ratcheting up the proportion of assets covered until 100% are included, as efforts to structurally decarbonise economies play out.
