Responsibility matters podcast – Engaging with CLP Holdings – energy and just transition

To highlight stewardship and responsible investing in action we look at a case study – CLP Holdings, a Hong Kong based utility company with overseas investments. By 2040, they are targeting an 85% reduction in emissions through the closure of coal plants in Hong Kong and overseas.

Demonstrating our stewardship practices at Royal London Asset Management, Bixuan Xu, Fund Manager in the Global Equities team and Simonetta Spavieri, Senior Engagement Analyst in the Responsible Investment team, discuss how they have been working together and engaging with CLP Holdings since 2021.

They look at why this is such an encouraging company to engage with from both a climate and emission reduction perspective, and also ensuring they are working towards a just transition. They highlight why regular meetings and measurement are so important for responsible investing.
