Liontrust supports the goals of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius, and preferably to 1.5, compared to pre-industrial levels.
Liontrust is operationally carbon neutral by offsetting its Scope 1 and 2 market-based emissions, supporting projects to provide clean water access for families in Laos and solar cooking for refugee families in Chad.
Liontrust is committed to support the goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner in line with global efforts to limit warming to 1.5C in Scope 3 investments.
A company’s greenhouse gas emissions are classified into three scopes. Scope 1 are direct emissions from company owned and controlled resources. Scope 2 are indirect emissions from the generation of purchased energy. Scope 3 are all indirect emissions – not included in scope 2 – that occur in the value chain. In Liontrust’s case, Scope 3 includes emissions from companies that we have invested in.
