As Glasgow welcomes world leaders to COP26, Causeway Capital is firmly aligned with those committing to #netzero.
We all have a part to play to deliver this. As a private equity investor we use our voice to encourage ambition in the board room and our capital can be used to support the changes required.
At the start of 2021, we made small (but important) changes to our business to achieve net zero at the fund manager level. This was achieved in partnership with Make It Wild who plant trees on our behalf to offset the small balance of emissions we have not yet eliminated.
We're also pleased to confirm that 2 of our 7 portfolio companies have now adopted plans to achieve net zero by the end of 2021.
We will work with our other 5 investee companies to develop carbon emission reduction plans and horizons that are appropriate for their industries and business models.
For some businesses, net zero should be straightforward to achieve quickly. For others it will require planning, investment and change over time. Either way, we must act now.
