Den Europæiske Centralbank (ECB) har reduceret CO2-intensiteten fra deres portefølje med 26 %. Siden slutningen af 2022 har ECB indarbejdet klimaovervejelser i deres beholdninger af virksomhedsobligationer.
Fordi ECB prioriterer udstedere med høj klimascore er den gennemsnitlige CO2-intensitet fra ECB’s køb af nye virksomhedsobligationer faldet med 65 %.
Fra artiklen:
”The total emissions of our corporate sector portfolio have increased because the portfolio itself has grown. To assess how the carbon footprint has evolved relative to the greater size of the portfolio, we need to look beyond absolute emissions and consider normalised metrics like carbon intensity. Overall, the portfolios’ carbon intensity gradually decreased by about 26% from 2018 to 2022 (Chart 1), mainly because of companies’ own efforts to reduce their emissions. This shows that although they still need to do more to become Paris-aligned, the efforts of the companies in our portfolios to cut their emissions and become more carbon-efficient are already yielding positive results.”
