Infrastructure investor Actis rolls out new ambitious net zero targets

Actis, one of the world's biggest sustainable infrastructure investors, confirmed to Net Zero Investor that it has put forward plans to align 60% of its around £90 billion in assets under management with net zero by 2030.

The London-based company has also set a target for at least 50% of its AUM in 2030 to be invested in climate solutions.

Actis has also confirmed that it intends for all portfolio companies to develop Board-approved net zero plans within two years post investment.

These targets were set based on the Paris-aligned Investment Initiative’s (PAII) Net Zero Investment Framework (NZIF) for Infrastructure, developed by the IIGCC. 

"They represent Actis’ continued commitment to being a core enabler of the low carbon economy while still producing superior returns for its investors," the firm said.

Actis’ commitment in March 2022 to align 100% of its investment portfolio to net zero by 2050 saw it become a signatory to Net Zero Asset Managers (NZAM) initiative. 

The group is made up of 301 international asset managers representing $59 trillion AUM who are committed to supporting the goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner, in line with global efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C.
