Robeco commits to mitigate deforestation in portfolios

Deforestation is one of the greatest threats to biodiversity and a major contributor to climate change. Investors can play a role in stopping it by using engagement to target both companies and governments that are responsible for unsustainable destruction of the world’s forests. In a new positioning paper, Robeco spells out how active ownership can help achieve this.

The paper entitled ‘Our approach to deforestation’ outlines three pillars of a commitment to eliminate deforestation driven by high-risk commodities across all Robeco’s investment portfolios by 2025. This forms part of the COP 26 Deforestation Commitment signed by more than 30 financial institutions with collectively more than EUR 8 trillion in assets, including Robeco, at the climate summit in Glasgow in 2021.

The three pillars are:

  • Broadening individual stewardship efforts including corporate engagement

  • Focusing on financial sector collaborative initiatives such as Nature Action 100

  • Widening engagement with governments in deforestation-afflicted countries


Deforestation sits at the center of climate change, biodiversity loss, as well as and food and water insecurity, posing a systemic risk to companies and investors,” says engagement specialist Laura Bosch, one of the paper’s authors, in the introduction.

“Wealth and well-being cannot exist without nature. Robeco acknowledges how critical preserving biodiversity and halting deforestation is not only to our long-term value creation, but also to the stability of our socio-economic systems.”
