PLAN FOR NATURE
S U M M A R Y
Schroders’ Plan for Nature
The continual and uncontrolled depletion of nature poses major risks to the global economy, communities, companies and investment portfolios. So, it’s critical we seek to mitigate the nature risk embedded in portfolios by directing capital wherever possible towards areas that target nature positive outcomes. Our ambition is to harness the power of investment to accelerate a nature positive future. We believe this will not only mitigate nature risk, but will create real investment potential for our clients.
We’re determined to use our whole business to develop new ideas for how to manage our nature-related impacts and exposures, allocate capital towards nature, mainstream the market rapidly and create real impact. That’s how we can accelerate positive change while providing excellent investment performance.
