Robeco launches Climate Leaders Tilt indices
Climate investing has entered a new phase. Investors are no longer focused solely on reducing portfolio emissions; they increasingly want to identify the companies driving real-world decarbonization and position portfolios to benefit from the low-carbon transition.

This means using forward-looking metrics to identify those companies that are leading in this important new arena. While Paris-Aligned and Climate Transition Benchmarks have helped cut carbon footprints, they are dependent on backward-looking emissions metrics. These provide a snapshot into the past, but lack the more important insight into where the company is going.
Robeco’s new Global Climate Leaders Tilt Indices are designed to solve this problem. They use our proprietary sustainability and investment frameworks including the ground-breaking Climate Traffic Light to identify future leaders and avoid potential laggards. Put simply, it focuses on financing reduced emissions, not just reducing financed emissions.
Our new white paper explains how it all works.
