CCLA responds to the Net Zero Asset Manager’s initiative announcement on 13 January to suspend its activities.

Local Authority Pension Fund Forum (LAPFF) and CCLA, supported by investors representing £1.6 trillion AUM, have written to the chairs of 76 FTSE 100 companies that have not held a vote on their climate transition plans in the past three years setting out their expectations ahead of next year’s AGM season.
The latest episode of the Better World Interview series features Olga Martin-Ortega, Head of Natural Resources and Just Transition at the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre. Olga speaks to Net Zero Investor about how we can move towards a more sustainable economy in a way that is fair to everyone.
At CCLA we have long considered climate change as the greatest threat to the environment, our communities and therefore to the success of investment markets. Hear from Tessa Younger, Better Environment Lead at CCLA, on why we view climate change as a material threat to shareholder value.
The latest episode of the Better World Interview series features the Bishop of Norwich, Graham Usher, the Church of England’s environment programme lead. Bishop Graham speaks to Net Zero Investor about the Christian perspective on protecting the natural world and the practical steps the church is taking towards its net zero future.
CCLA is clear on the imperative to act on climate change. It is critical for companies to act decisively in the next decade, to set out a transition plan to explain their decarbonisation plan and put such plans for AGM approval. We have written to FTSE all-share companies encouraging a transition plan vote, with overall positive responses. Transition plan votes have gained traction globally with a marked increase in resolutions in Europe and Australia year on year.
