Are all net-zero goals created equal?
Allianz Global Investors examines the inconsistencies in how corporate net-zero commitments are defined and measured, focusing on the critical importance of Scope 3 emissions inclusion, interim decarbonisation targets, and the appropriate use of carbon offsets. The paper outlines AllianzGI's engagement-led approach to assessing investee companies' climate transition pathways and pushing for greater consistency and rigour in net-zero reporting ahead of COP26.
Oil & gas majors: active stewardship rather than divestment
Allianz Global Investors argues that divesting from oil and gas majors would merely displace ownership to less accountable state-owned producers, and that active shareholder engagement is a more effective route to aligning majors with the IEA's net-zero-by-2050 pathway. The piece outlines concrete stewardship expectations for oil majors, including TCFD endorsement, science-based targets, Scope 1–3 emissions reporting, and putting climate action plans to shareholder votes.
Beyond climate: it’s time to integrate biodiversity into investment processes
Allianz Global Investors argues that biodiversity loss—driven by land-use change, pollution, and climate change—poses material financial risks to portfolios, given that over half of global GDP depends on nature. The piece outlines how investors can integrate biodiversity into investment processes through exclusion criteria, corporate engagement, impact investing, and backing nature-positive innovators, in alignment with the TNFD framework and CBD COP-15 goals.
Unlocking the “S” in capitalism
Allianz Global Investors makes the case for "inclusive capitalism" as the third pillar of its sustainability framework alongside climate change and planetary boundaries, arguing that social inequalities—exacerbated by COVID-19, digitalisation, and climate change—represent both systemic risks and investment opportunities. The paper outlines how investors can align portfolios with UN SDGs to address income inequality, digital exclusion, and livelihood gaps while capturing growth in underserved markets.
