Transition investing: Measuring credibility

The goal of net zero emissions is said to be the greatest commercial opportunity of our time. At Robeco, we believe the best way to capture alpha from this opportunity is through an all-sector approach. This can be done through diversified exposure to companies that are providing low-carbon technologies, and also to heavy emitters whose ambitious decarbonization plans mean they are leading the transition in their industry.
