Responding to the urgent need to take action, Bâtirente unveiled an
ambitious climate commitment last fall aimed both at mitigating the cause of global warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating its consequences.
In addition, Bâtirente engages on behalf of its members, in a robust climate-friendly dialogue with listed companies, fund managers and the entire financial community.
Here are a few recent initiatives:
- Bâtirente supports the Canadian government’s proposed [wpfilebase tag=fileurl id=295 linktext='* Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR)' /] that aims at reducing carbon intensity of liquid fossil fuels produced in and imported into Canada.
- With support from Æquo, Shareholder Engagement Services, Bâtirente submitted to two companies held in its portfolio a shareholder proposal requesting the adoption of a corporate target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
