About us

At IIGCC, we believe in creating change the world needs by unlocking investor action on climate change.

Join us

We are the leading European-focused investor membership organisation for collaboration on climate change.

Investor strategies

Our investor strategies work helps members to effectively integrate climate risks and opportunities into their individual investment decisions and processes, as well as to better understand, set and achieve their climate goals.

We enable investors to set strategies in line with achieving net zero global emissions, build resilient investment portfolios, and understand and manage physical climate risk within their investments. We provide a forum for investors to collaborate with us, working together to develop tools and resources to deepen understanding of potential investor strategies on climate change and support the implementation of related best practice.

We help our members to:
improving portfolios

Understand how they can improve the impact of their portfolios by setting net zero or other climate-related commitments and targets

Implementing commitments

Implement those commitments across investment portfolios and approaches

Measure and Benchmark

Measure and benchmark their progress against their individual targets and commitments

Our work focuses on three main areas.

Initiatives:

We provide support and a central point of contact to our members who have made commitments through initiatives including Net Zero Asset Managers and Paris Aligned Asset Owners. We also liaise with related partners including the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero and UNFCCC, ensuring that the investor voice is well-represented.

Implementation:

We provide training, guidance and online events including our successful net zero surgery series to support investors implementing their net zero commitments.

Frameworks:

We lead on the conception, ongoing development and maintenance of industry-leading protocols, including the Net Zero Investment Framework - the most widely used investment methodology for net zero. We are also working to devise similar concepts focused on adaptation and resilience, solutions and nature, working closely with members to iterate and adapt, building on the existing success of these frameworks.
