Our Climate Focus

At GAM, we recognise how climate change is reshaping the global economy, and steadfastly believe that actively considering the risks and opportunities this brings is integral to our ability to deliver long-term value for our clients.

Responsible Investing

Publications

We are committed to supporting our clients in navigating the transition as we integrate climate-related risks and opportunities into our investment strategies and solutions.

At GAM, we firmly believe asset managers need to be at the forefront in driving change through designing solutions to help clients navigate the low carbon transition.

In 2021, we joined the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative and committed to support the goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner and to support investing aligned with this goal. In line with these commitments, we submitted our initial interim targets in July 2022.
