Creating a ‘Just Transition’ – Why Should Pension Funds Integrate Social Considerations into their Sustainability Objectives?
Creating a ‘Just Transition’ – Why Should Pension Funds Integrate Social Considerations into their Sustainability Objectives?
During this session, Alban de Faÿ, Amundi’s Head of Fixed Income SRI Processes, will explore the concept of a ‘Just Transition’. There is an increasing consensus amongst the financial industry that broad and deep socioeconomic changes will occur as part of a shift to a low-carbon economy. These evolutions include sector-restructuring, loss and transformation of jobs, impacts on taxation and redistribution, increases in prices, among others. We will discuss how investing in a ‘Just Transition’ Strategy can support portfolio alignment with net-zero objectives, whilst minimising these social externalities.

THE BASICS
With sustainability and net-zero objectives at the forefront of investors’ agendas, Amundi believe there are several key questions to explore for Pension Funds, particularly within fixed income portfolios:
- How can investors effectively mitigate climate risk in a fixed income portfolio?
- What will be the social impact of a transition to a low-carbon economy?
- How can I align my fixed income portfolio with net-zero targets, whilst factoring in the social impact?
