Global asset owners committed to decarbonising their investment portfolios and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050
The UN-convened Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance (NZAOA) is a member-led initiative of institutional investors committed to transitioning their investment portfolios to net zero GHG emissions by 2050 – consistent with a maximum temperature rise of 1.5°C.
The Alliance members are the finance industry’s first to set intermediate targets, which include CO2 reduction ranges for 2025 (22 – 32%) and for 2030 (40% – 60%).

António Guterres, UN Secretary General
“The Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance, the gold standard for credible commitments and transparent targets, is managing USD 10 trillion in assets and catalysing change across industries.
Inger Andersen, UNEP Executive Director
“The ask is for us to move to 100% net-zero and translate commitments into immediate actions thereby delivering actual, measurable decarbonisation and economy-side transformations. Asset owners are in a strategic position to make that happen by scaling up finance solutions, engaging with corporates and policymakers and shifting capital towards the sustainable solutions of tomorrow.
Christiana Figueres, Global Optimism Founding Partner
“The investors of the Asset Owner Alliance are leading the way and igniting a tidal wave of action across the globe.
Günther Thallinger, NZAOA Chair and Allianz SE Board Member
“Reaching net-zero is not simply reducing emissions and carrying on with the business models of today. There are profound changes and opportunities that will come from the net-zero economy, we see new business opportunities and strong wins for those who are ready to lead.
