SDCL to join the GFANZ Net Zero Asset Managers initiative
Sustainable Development Capital LLP, a multi-national investment management firm, which specialises in environmental infrastructure, warmly welcomes the announcement of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) and the commitments made by financial firms controlling some 40% of global financial assets – equivalent to US$130 trillion – which aligns them to accelerate the transition to a net zero carbon economy.
SDCL is delighted to announce that it will join as a member of the GFANZ Net Zero Asset Managers (NZAM) initiative and hopes to make a substantial contribution.
SDCL’s CEO, Jonathan Maxwell, said: “COP26 and GFANZ are illustrating an inspiring and tangible commitment by business and finance to accelerate investment at scale in a lower carbon economy and sustainable infrastructure solutions such as clean energy and energy efficiency. Increasingly, these investments are not only more environmentally and socially sustainable but actually improve cost efficiency, productivity and resilience. GFANZ and the commitments it represents here at COP26 is certainly grounds for optimism”.
We also welcome new Treasury requirements for firms in the UK to publish plans for decarbonizing through 2050. We will be working hard to help UK companies to decarbonise and apply energy efficiency measures to help achieve their goals”.
