#FlashbackFridays>> At this year Private Markets Forum, Institutional Connect had the opportunity to interview Bertrand Millot, Head of Sustainability at Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ). Bertrand touched on some key focuses of CDPQ's climate strategy for addressing climate change, including how CDPQ approaches the decarbonization of major carbon-emitting sectors. He also discussed the climate considerations that the investment teams take into account when assessing new investment opportunities, and offered advice to industry constituents who are on the journey to decarbonization. "In 2021, we announced a $10 billion transition envelope which is predicated on four sectors, power production, agribusiness, materials and transport. Each individual investment is identified and certified along pathways aligned with Paris and managed accordingly. We expect to reach a decarbonzation level of 31 % by 2040 and up to 85% by 2035." ⬇ Watch the video below to learn more about decarbonization and sustainable investment. #privatemarkets #decarbonization #sustainability #climatechange #investment
