In June 2023 Cazenove Capital orchestrated a significant event centred on the release of our 2022 Impact Report. The event was hosted by the local Cazenove team in conjunction with our sustainability specialists and attended by intermediaries from different companies and sectors.

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.

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.
