Climate Investing Climate Investing Better investments for a better world Why Climate Investing? Climate change is the single greatest challenge humankind has faced and its consequences are already all too apparent. There has been an enormous rise in climate disasters over the past two decades, leading to the deaths of over 1.2 million people and affecting more than 4 billion people in total.1 To address the impacts of climate change we require the largest reconstruction of the global economy. The world cannot afford to delay any longer and capital-markets participants must be at the center of this global reconstruction. Investors need the appropriate research, tools, and solutions to help accelerate this economic transformation. Under Climate Investing investors and issuers utilize climate data and tools to support their investment decision making. This includes measuring and reporting on climate risk exposure, implementing low carbon fossil-fuel-free strategies, factoring climate change research into risk management processes, engaging companies and external stakeholders, to better align with a net-zero trajectory.

We want to lead by example. To achieve this goal throughout MSCI’s global operations, MSCI has committed to achieve net-zero emissions before 2040. Getting to net-zero reflects our goal of taking meaningful action to make climate considerations part of our strategy, operations and culture now and for years and decades to come. It builds on MSCI’s Principles of Sustainable Investing, which sound the alarm to global investors that a convergence of environmental, social and governance factors will impact the pricing of financial assets and precipitate a large-scale reallocation of capital.
