Environment
We consider sustainability a lever for protecting and creating value on behalf of our depositors, which is in line with our a long-term perspective, as well as for ensuring the resilience of our portfolio and remaining well positioned in the transition toward a low-carbon economy.
Our investment strategy to address climate change
At La Caisse, we firmly believe that sustainable investing remains the best approach to managing the risks associated with climate change and create long-term value for our depositors.
Our first climate strategy, deployed in 2017, positioned us as a leader in sustainable investing. We set ambitious targets at the time to take quick and structured action.
In 2019, we made an additional strong commitment: achieve a net-zero portfolio by 2050 by focusing on decarbonizing the real economy. At the end of 2024, we exceeded the climate targets that we raised in 2021.
The decarbonization of our portfolio has been much faster than that of the real economy: global carbon emissions have continued to increase and the impacts of climate change are increasingly visible, here and elsewhere.
To continue to progress, we are now aiming for
$400 billion invested in climate action by 2030
Our goal
We intend to continue working to decarbonize the real economy and achieve a carbon-neutral portfolio by 2050.
