STOCK SELECTION
Monthly, the Sub-fund selects low carbon transition leading companies employing the most robust business models,
with the potential to overperform in the long term.
To minimise risk, some further constraints are applied to the final investment portfolio:
GOING A STEP FURTHER TO MITIGATE EMISSIONS
On a quarterly basis, the Sub-fund offers the possibility to mitigate the carbon emissions of the final investment portfolio (scope 1 and scope 2), using carbon credits from the Kasigau Corridor REDD+ project, located in Kenya.
KASIGAU CORRIDOR REDD+ PROJECT
The project aims to protect dryland Kenyan forests under threat by working to secure the migration corridor between the Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks and contributes to 13 of the 17 United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals*:
*The 13 Sustainable Development Goals have been verified by the Sustainable Development Verified Impact Standard (SD VISTa), the premier standard for assessing whether the project advances the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations, as of October 2023.
In collaboration with the forest community and landowners, the project is designed to protect over 200,000 hectares of dryland forest and is expected to reduce more than 1 million tonnes of CO2 per year.
The project area is home to an incredibly diverse wildlife population, including critical populations of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List species such as the Grevy’s Zebra and African Wild Dog.
The project has created more than 400 jobs, the majority of which filled directly by the local community and is home to over 100,000 people.
The revenue from carbon credit sales is provided to the Wildlife Works Carbon Trust and is used to fund local community projects. An example is the completion of water infrastructure projects (rain catchments, pipes, etc.) that improved access to clean water for over 100,000 people.
