Investor application

Investor membership is open to asset owners and asset managers, subject to IIGCC board approval.

What is IIGCC?

We believe in creating change the world needs by unlocking investor action on climate change.

It’s why we’re focused on bringing the investment community together to make significant progress towards a net zero and climate resilient future by 2030, in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.

Our work supports investors in generating returns for clients and beneficiaries, which in turn provides financial wellbeing for future generations. We work with our more than 400 members to address climate risk and ensure they are well positioned to make the most of investment opportunities offered by climate mitigation and adaptation efforts, ensuring that their investments contribute towards a better world for us all to live in. We do this by bringing investors together to create practical solutions that can make a real difference in tackling climate change.

Through our leading work to drive supportive investment practices, policies and corporate behaviours, we help investors to navigate implementation of climate considerations in portfolios, advocate for a more supportive policy environment, and undertake effective stewardship and engagement with companies, and the wider market.

We believe that we can best tackle these challenges by working collaboratively across the global investment community. We have cofounded and fostered initiatives, including Climate Action 100+, the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative, Paris Aligned Asset Owners group and Nature Action 100, to catalyse progress. IIGCC membership provides investors with a route to participation in these various initiatives, as well as support in taking action towards commitments, extending our reach and amplifying our positive impact.

Our team cares deeply about making a difference. We’re catalysts, pragmatists and optimists who use expertise and collaboration to bridge the gap between where investors are today and where they need to get to.

The world needs change. We are here to make it possible.

Considerations of investor membership

There are no reporting requirements associated with IIGCC’s membership, or any expectations that an organisation must make a formal net zero commitment. We simply ask that investor applicants to IIGCC support the sentiment of our mission statement and hope that they might consider a commitment when their organisation is ready, and it is appropriate for them to do so.

Ourmission: We bring the investment community together in making significant progress towards a net zero and climate resilient future by 2030.
