Effective climate stewardship is about more than presenting numbers that tell the story we might want to hear. It’s about driving real, lasting decarbonisation that reduces risk and makes our investments more resilient. It also means being honest in how Foresight Group report progress and clear about how divestment fits alongside engagement as part of a thoughtful, principles-based approach.

Selling Linde doesn’t mark the end of Foresight Group's climate engagement journey. Rather, it opens the door to new ones as they renew the company's focus on the top emitters in the portfolio to help move the needle on real-world emissions.
