Net Zero Investment Consultants Initiative (NZICI)

The Net Zero Investment Consultants Initiative (NZICI) is a new commitment from some of the world’s most prominent investment consultants to align their operations and advisory services with the 1.5 degree emissions trajectory outlined in the Paris Agreement. Its twelve signatories at the time of launch are responsible for advising on assets exceeding USD 10 trillion. This commitment from investment consultants adds strength to existing investor leadership via the Net Zero Asset Owner Alliance, the Net Zero Asset Manager Initiative, and other groups that the PRI works with on this important issue.
