Cazenove Capital

Cazenove Capital has been a beacon of sustainability, with operations carbon-neutral since 2019. We were a founding signatory to the Net Zero Asset Manager Initiative and have pledged to transition all our discretionary assets to net zero by 2050, if not sooner. We are also committed to eradicating direct exposure to commodity-driven deforestation by 2025. Our adherence to the UK Stewardship Code, A+ rating by the CDP, and signing of the UN Global Compact Statement further underlines our dedication to sustainable practices.

Our senior management teams have their remuneration tied to sustainability objectives, including achieving gender diversity and climate targets. We have a robust team of over 50 dedicated sustainability specialists who ensure our investment strategies are sustainable. They mandate the integration of ESG factors into every investment decision.

Cazenove’s award-winning sustainable solutions are designed to avoid harmful companies, benefit stakeholders and contribute to solutions with alignment to the UN SDGs. In 2022, our three flagship sustainable funds were estimated to have positively impacted 478,544 people through the provision of clean drinking water, education, social housing, inclusion, and healthcare. Furthermore, we helped avoid 196,179 tonnes of Co2 emissions, equivalent to the annual energy use of 24,725 homes.

We believe in the power of knowledge and the need to promote sustainable investments. In Jersey, we have been working with fiduciaries to understand and meet beneficiaries' needs and address any barriers to adopting a sustainable approach. In addition to the event mentioned above we have, over the last 18 months hosted 12 events promoting sustainable investing and conducted 93 meetings with local firms, including trust companies, financial advisors, investment consultants, lawyers, and accountants, to discuss our investment offerings, including sustainable investing. We remain committed to sharing our knowledge and assisting our clients including local intermediaries with sustainable investment solutions.
