Carbon
Man-made climate change and the need for rapid and socially equitable decarbonization presents a generational challenge. We believe this presents an unprecedented opportunity for investment in technology and infrastructure which will support a complete overhaul of one of the most important sectors in the world.
We believe a successful global energy transition will require trillions of dollars of capital in key areas:
- The responsible ownership and transformation of carbon-intensive energy infrastructure.
- The rollout of renewable energy generation and storage infrastructure at scale.
- The establishment of green hydrogen and biofuels at industrial scale to support those parts of the economy that cannot be electrified.
- The repurposing of existing energy infrastructure to support newer, cleaner technologies.
As a global investor in essential infrastructure, we own and operate assets in the industries that are central to both solving this complex challenge and creating the groundbreaking solutions that will be required to facilitate a carbon neutral future.
We recognize our important role and responsibility in the transition and are fully engaged in this mission on behalf of all our stakeholders.
Our Commitment to Managing GHG Emissions
Actively managing climate-related risks and opportunities across our portfolio is also a key tenet of our approach to sustainability, for each of the sectors in which we invest. Examples include, where relevant, implementing GHG emission intensity reduction plans, measuring Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions, and seeking to enhance management’s accountability to sustainability outcomes.
We believe that incorporating these considerations in a holistic and consistent manner, tailored to industry and asset-specific circumstances, helps build a resilient portfolio and supports our goal of achieving attractive risk-adjusted returns.
