About Us

The Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC) is a forum for collaboration on climate change for European investors.

The IIGCC currently has over 50 members, including some of the largest pension funds and asset managers in Europe, representing around €5trillion.

Climate change creates financial risks for investors; however it also creates investment opportunities. It is our aim to ensure that these risks and opportunities are addressed and reflected in investment practices and decisions.

The IIGCC brings investors together to use their significant collective influence to engage in dialogues with policymakers, investors and companies to accelerate the shift to a low carbon economy.

Specifically, the IIGCC encourages:

   
• Policymakers to provide policy frameworks that facilitate the move to a low carbon economy and are consistent with long-term investment objectives.
   
• Investors to take on a pro-active approach on climate change through adapting their own investment activities and processes in order to enhance and preserve long-term investment values.
   
• Companies to standardise and improve disclosure on climate change and improve their performance.
