Why Optimize Carbon Emissions?
Canada continues to provide investors with a diversified pool of investment options within the Energy, Materials, and Industrials sectors. We believe these high-emission sectors should continue to be part of well-diversified investment portfolios and can be optimized to limit emissions.
How Does FGP Optimize Emissions?
Leveraging our robust in-house responsible investment approach where we assess companies across various factors, we optimize Scope 1 and 2 emissions in our Canadian equity strategy to meet our clients’ unique targets. You tell us the amount by which you wish to reduce your portfolio’s carbon. We create a plan to transition towards that goal over several years by factoring carbon intensity into investment decisions.
