Sarasin & Partners LLP is pleased to reaffirm its support for the refreshed NZAM Commitment, published this week.
When the NZAM Commitment was suspended last year, it was taken by many as a sign that the investment community was turning its back on climate action. We are pleased to say that this is not the case, with over 250 asset managers already reiterating their continued support. Critically, global asset owners such as pension schemes and insurers representing over $3.7 trillion in assets have issued their own statement, underscoring their deep concerns over rising systemic impacts from climate change and thus risks to their ability to deliver returns to pensioners and savers.
At a time when multilateral endeavour is under attack and geopolitics increasingly fractious, the renewal of investors’ commitment stands out. We remain committed to playing our part because we know that without a healthy planet, we cannot expect to deliver sustainable returns for all our clients. During the course of 2026, we will be refreshing our Net Zero Action Plan (originally published in 2022, and updated in 2024 and 2025).
