Bedrijfsspecifieke Passage in 'de brief'

U heeft uw duurzaamheidsbeleid vastgelegd in uw jaarverslag over 2020 en in het analysis of carbon footprint of proprietary assets over 2020.

Wij constateren dat uw ambitie is om per 2050 een netto klimaatneutrale investeringsportfolio te beheren. Daarnaast wilt u op korte termijn op wetenschap gebaseerde doelen formuleren voor het terugdringen van uw absolute scope 1 en 2 emissies. Wij constateren dat deze deze doelstellingen momenteel niet bestaan. Daarnaast blijven uw scope 3 emissies in uw duurzaamheidsbeleid buiten beschouwing.

Wij constateren dat uw rapportage onvolledig is, dat er geen doelen zijn gesteld voor 2030 en dat een onderbouwing van de doelstelling voor 2050 ontbreekt. Daarmee blijft u niet binnen uw budget binnen het anderhalve graden scenario.

Het bovengenoemde zijn grote tekortkomingen en doen afbreuk aan de geloofwaardigheid van uw ambities.

Zonder aanscherping en onderbouwing van uw ambities draagt uw bedrijf bij aan gevaarlijke klimaatverandering en loopt u het materiële risico om mensenrechtenschendingen te veroorzaken.
