New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 10/26/2021 --Some of the biggest pension and investment funds in the world have announced a new goal to cut the emissions of their portfolio holdings by 25% by 2025. The group of 29 includes Allianz and the California Public Employees Retirement System and is following in the footsteps of many recent announcements of this kind across the financial services industry. Part of the reason for this wave of commitments is the urgency of taking action - as global greenhouse emissions need to drop by 50% by 2030, the time in which effective action can be taken is shrinking. This has pushed many investors to start looking at how to eliminate emissions generated by their holdings. The target that has been set in this case only covers direct emissions and those produced from energy sources employed by the company - there is also an argument that targets of this kind could cover the emissions generated by consumers using portfolio company products. However, that is likely to be tackled at a later date.
