CDPQ’s Sustainable Land Management mandate is deploying capital in natural resources assets, mostly farmland and timberland. As we are prioritizing sustainable investments and decarbonization, we believe it is important for investors to have a solid and measurable framework that standardizes climate and nature reporting metrics.  The Clean Energy Finance Corporation, a strategic investment partner in natural capital for CDPQ in Australia, has introduced its report “Measuring What Matters: An Approach for Natural Capital Investors,” calling for unified climate reporting to reduce emissions. The report is a valuable guide on achieving measurable sustainability outcomes, and we are proud to have been associated with this initiative.

Excited to be part of this collaborative global effort and even more excited to share the results. Sustainable finance tools are increasingly critical in driving the transition to a low-carbon economy.
