Promoting a JUST transition

FOR A JUST TRANSITION

We are committed to a transition toward carbon neutrality, where technology leaves no one behind.

As a founding partner of the “Just Transition Challenge” led by the Impact Investing Institute and the G7 Impact Task Force, we focus our investment strategy on three essential pillars of a Just Transition:

  • Advancing climate and environmental action
    For example, greenhouse gas emission mitigation, reduction and removal
  • Improving socio-economic distribution and equity
    For example, inclusive opportunities for decent jobs
  • Increasing community voices
    Through, for example, engagement and dialogue with affected communities that are often excluded and marginalised
