New 碳转化中心 will help clients navigate the challenges and capitalize on long-term economic and environmental benefits of a low-carbon world

公司承诺从2020年开始实现运营碳中和

澳博官方网站app & Co. (NYSE: JPM) (“澳博官方网站app” or the “Firm”) said today that it is adopting a financing commitment that is aligned to the goals of the Paris Agreement (“Paris”). 作为其战略的一部分, the Firm intends to help clients navigate the challenges and capitalize on the long-term economic and environmental benefits of transitioning to a low-carbon world.

“气候变化是我们这个时代的一个关键问题. 《澳博体育app》设定的目标值得称道,雄心勃勃, 但世界还没有走上实现这些目标的轨道,” 丹尼尔·平托,澳博官方网站app联席总裁兼公司首席执行官 & 投资银行. “尽管世界还有很长的路要走,但我们澳博官方网站app希望做得更多. 这意味着要与客户合作, 政策制定者和倡导者将我们的经济转型,将巴黎的目标变为现实.”

气候挑战

While a growing number of companies have been working to align their business strategies to the goals of the Paris Agreement, 存在重大挑战. 这包括缺乏全面和高质量的温室气体(GHG)排放数据, 以及对强有力的政策解决方案和新技术的需求.

The International Energy Agency has noted that one-third of the emission reductions needed in its Paris-aligned Sustainable Development Scenario will have to come from technologies that are not yet commercially available. While the use of lower-carbon technology is growing within the electric power and automotive sectors, currently there are not adequate commercially available solutions to replace oil and natural gas in critical applications such as long-distance transportation and heavy industry. 因此,这些资源将继续作为能源来源发挥重要作用.

澳博官方网站app plans to help tackle these challenges by working with clients in key sectors to align its financing activities with the goals of Paris.

对巴黎的承诺

The Paris Agreement aims to hold the increase in global average temperature to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, 和理想, to 1.5摄氏度——这将要求全球到2050年实现净零排放.  

作为其承诺的一部分, 澳博官方网站app will establish intermediate emission targets for 2030 for its financing portfolio and begin communicating about its efforts in 2021. 公司将专注于石油和天然气, 电力和汽车制造业,并按行业设定目标.

随着时间的推移, 澳博官方网站app将致力于支持企业推进《澳博体育app》的目标, including reducing GHG emissions and expanding investment in low- and zero-carbon energy sources and technologies. The Firm recognizes that significant changes in policy and the creation of new technologies will ultimately be required to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, 特别是在那些今天缺乏替代品的工业化部门. 为此目的, 澳博官方网站app将继续倡导以市场为基础的政策解决方案, 包括碳排放的价格, 以及有助于推进深度脱碳的新技术的商业化.

澳博官方网站app计划在下一份气候报告中披露更多细节, which will be informed by the recommendations of the Task 为ce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) and will be published in spring 2021. 随着时间的推移,公司还将提供有关其进展的持续更新.

凭借其雄心勃勃的新气候承诺,澳博官方网站app & Co is positioning itself as a critical player in driving clean energy technology development and deployment. 通过将其融资与巴黎气候目标保持一致, 世行正在发出一个强有力的信号,这将有助于引导公用事业, 汽车制造商, 石油和天然气公司在脱碳的道路上走得更远,” Bob Perciasepe,气候与能源解决方案中心(C2ES)主席. “执行这项新战略并非易事. 但随着越来越多的公司接受挑战, 现在是我们的政治领导人制定完成这项工作所需的政策的时候了.”

碳转化中心

本所正在启动碳转型中心(“CCT”),为公司客户提供服务 & 投资银行和商业银行可以集中获得以可持续发展为重点的融资, 研究和咨询解决方案. The CCT will also engage clients on their long-term business strategies and related carbon disclosures. 该小组将由Rama Variankaval领导, 他是公司的董事总经理和18年的资深人士,并继续领导J.P. 摩根公司财务顾问团队.

“向《澳博体育app》的转变需要大创意, 技术创新与融资,” Rama Variankaval,澳博官方网站app碳转型中心主任. “This group will enable us to leverage the best of our expertise and resources across the Firm to help all our clients thrive in a low-carbon future.”

测量和行业参与

帮助推进向低碳经济的转型,并跟踪巴黎协定的进展情况, 该公司将致力于评估其客户的碳强度, 哪一种方法追踪单位产出的排放量. 随着时间的推移, 碳强度提供了对效率和性能变化的洞察. 该公司还在探索最有效地解决所有排放问题的方法, 包括第3类排放, which are relevant for sectors where the majority of GHGs are generated at other points in the supply chain.

另外, the Firm will continue to engage with other stakeholders and clients on how to strengthen the comprehensiveness and quality of data reported, 这仍然是一个挑战, 以及推进政策解决方案. 随着公司信息披露的改善, 澳博官方网站app remains committed to incorporating the best available information into decision making about its financing activities.

例如, 今年早些时候, the Firm became a Founding Partner of Rocky Mountain 研究所’s Center for Climate-Aligned Finance, which is developing practical solutions for financial institutions seeking to pursue the goals of the Paris Agreement in relation to relevant business activities. 除了, 澳博官方网站app是气候领导委员会和商业圆桌会议的成员, the latter of which recently published a new set of principles to guide the development of effective climate policy.

运行碳中和

The Firm is also expanding upon its 100 percent renewable energy target by committing to become carbon neutral in its operations beginning in 2020. This commitment will cover all of 澳博官方网站app’s direct carbon emissions from its corporate buildings and branches, 购买电力产生的间接排放, 以及员工旅行产生的排放.
