Net Zero Investment Framework case study

This case study covers WTW’s application of the Net Zero Investment Framework, which incorporates the following areas:

• Setting and monitoring progress against top-down/strategic climate goals using a Carbon Journey Plan
• The use of portfolio alignment metrics in interrogating progress of portfolio emissions towards net zero goals and setting of alignment targets
• WTW’s framework for climate performance measurement via climate dashboards and how multiple metrics, including portfolio alignment metrics, are used to identify and prioritise management actions
• The use of a proprietary Climate Transition Value at Risk (CTVaR) metric that we believe best encapsulates a financial assessment of the true risk being run in portfolios

In each of these we review our challenges and learnings, the approach taken and outcomes, and our planned future work.
