Blog Food Systems, Thought Leadership Financial Risk & Reward, Policy Multi-Asset BLOG0114

As COP16 nears, the expectations for financial institutions to step up their efforts are higher than ever. The need for established frameworks, clear direction from governments, and the mobilisation of private finance are central to the discussions. COP16 presents an opportunity to refine the role of financial institutions in the global biodiversity agenda, ensuring that private finance is not only aligned with but actively driving the conservation efforts needed to address the biodiversity crisis. This blog explores what financial institutions need to know before the UN Biodiversity (COP16).

LyondellBasell could be aligned with a 1.5 °C warming scenario by 2030. LyondellBasell aims to achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2050, targeting a 42% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 30% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030, from a 2020 baseline. While Planet Tracker believes LYB is likely to meet its 2030 targets, the company could strengthen its position by enhancing its transparency, especially on financial disclosures related to climate-related risks and the expected impact of its investments on emissions reductions.

Report Emissions, Petrochemicals Chemicals, Financial Risk & Reward, Shareholder Engagement, Transparency & Traceability Equity PT0104

SABIC is expected to be on a 2°C pathway by 2030 according to analysis by Planet Tracker.

However, Planet Tracker’s analysis shows that SABIC lacks a specific Scope 3 emissions target, which accounts for 70% of its footprint, and therefore the company will miss the alignment with the latest Paris Agreement ambition.

No country catches more seafood than China, whose share of global catches has quadrupled since 1950. However, the massive expansion of China’s distant-water fishing fleet has come with significant environmental and social costs. Planet Tracker’s latest report highlights the urgent need for financial institutions and governments to address these issues and promote sustainability, proposing an ambitious transition funded by a RMB 5.5 billion (USD 759 million) sovereign bond, the ‘Hai Feng’ (ocean abundance) bond.
