MSCI’s Net-Zero Commitment
Companies have a fundamental responsibility to reduce their impact on the planet and join the journey to a decarbonized economy. At MSCI, we want to lead by example.
To achieve this goal throughout MSCI’s global operations, MSCI has committed to achieve net-zero emissions before 2040.
Getting to net-zero reflects our goal of taking meaningful action to make climate considerations part of our strategy, operations and culture now and for years and decades to come. It builds on MSCI’s Principles of Sustainable Investing, which sound the alarm to global investors that a convergence of environmental, social and governance factors will impact the pricing of financial assets and precipitate a large-scale reallocation of capital.
