Undisputedly, 2021 will have exposed, more than any year previously, the harsh reality of global warming and the environmental challenges that we all face.For the world of finance, this observation confirms that the goal should no longer be to merely finance the environmental transition to a low carbon future: the aim is to accelerate this transition by financing high-impact solutions that help the world act faster and more powerfully.
The Article 173 of the French Law on energy and transition for Green Growth requires French investors to communicate how environmental, social, and governance issues are considered in their investment choices and processes. Going beyond compliance, the annual publication of our impact report is an opportunity for us to demonstrate why and how we have put sustainable development at the core of our investment policies and engagements.

We believe that more than ever, green bonds are the focus of attention and the curiosity they are arousing is equalled by the questions they have raised.

The way investors allocate capital can and will make a difference in meeting global sustainability challenges and succeeding in the energy transition. We encourage investors to avoid overreliance on a single scenario or emissions pathway, so our method emphasizes and supports the multitude of potential pathways to 2°C, free from pre-defined sectoral allocations. It is applicable across all asset classes, versatile, and scalable, with many potential applications within the investment process. The outcome is a simple-to-interpret indicator – climate change trajectory in °C – consistent with qualitative analysis.
