‘Index Guidance to Support Real-Economy Decarbonisation’ was developed by the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) index investment workstream and is co-led by Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM), PKA, and SGX Group. Today, the majority of indices often do not directly support real-economy decarbonisation because: 1️⃣ they do not recognise companies’ climate strategies 2️⃣ their design excludes heavy emitting industries 3️⃣ they require year-on-year emissions reduction that is hard for companies to deliver This report outlines potential guidance index participants (index providers, data providers, stock exchanges, asset owners, asset managers and other investors) may take to voluntarily and independently develop and adopt indices that support real-economy decarbonisation. After checking out the report (https://lnkd.in/eG-QtqUR), we’d love your feedback via quick survey, which you can take here: https://lnkd.in/eJi_EPfa The survey closes January 9, 2025. We look forward to hearing from you!

About us
The Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) is a practitioner-led, global coalition of financial sector institutions and their sector-specific alliances.

GFANZ was launched in April 2021 by UN Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance Mark Carney and the COP26 presidency to unite net-zero financial sector-specific alliances from across the globe into one industry-wide strategic alliance. GFANZ leadership currently comprises Michael R. Bloomberg, Co-Chair and UN Special Envoy on Climate Ambition and Solutions; Mark Carney, Co-Chair and UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance; and Mary Schapiro, Vice Chair and Head of the Secretariat.
