1. Investment return impact is less under 2 C - The portfolio investment returns are less impacted under a 2 C scenario for all time horizons, which we believe indicates that long- term investment returns will be best served by aligning the asset allocation with a 2 C scenario. While a scenario limiting warming to 1.5 C was unable to be performed due to a lack of availability of data and modelling, the results also support alignment to a to 1.5 C or significantly below 2 C scenario. | 0no

4.3.6 The business plan of AIs normally covers a time horizon of one to three years, which is considered relatively short in the context of climate change. For example, the physical impacts of climate change (e.g. the rises in temperature and sea level) are more relevant over a longer horizon of more than five years. It thus follows that, in formulating climate strategy, a longer time horizon should be adopted to cater to the unique nature of climate risks. | 0no

Not surprisingly, the analysis (summarised in the table below) uncovered disparities between the nine sectors reviewed. The semi-conductor, tech and di- gital equipment, and pharmaceutical sectors had the highest exposure: the first two due to the depen- dence of their value chains on components made in countries (predominantly in Asia) with high exposure to physical risks. In the third sector (pharma), ope- rational chains are dependent on satisfactory water and energy availability, which may be locally jeopar- dised by climate change (sometimes significantly). Differences can also be observed between different regions of the world, with greater vulnerability seen in Southeast Asia than in North America. Lastly, the degree of exposure to physical risks varies depen- ding on the type of operational risk reviewed. Accor- ding to the analysis, the sample is more exposed to water and heat stress and to floods. | 0no

Replacing the clinker in our final cement products with alternative mineral components such as pozzolan, slag or fly ash reduces the carbon intensity of the cement. A significant portion of these constituents come from waste or byproducts recovered from other industries. Currently, our products use an average of 28 percent of constituents to replace clinker, resulting in one of the lowest levels of clinker content in the sector. | 1yes

In terms of thermal coal, the Group has set an exit deadline, in line with the SDS (Sustainable Develop- ment Scenario) scenario of the International Ener- gy Agency (IEA), compatible with the climate goals of the Paris Agreement: In 2019 and in 2020, the Group strengthened its position on coal, announ- cing its plan to reduce its thermal coal exposure to zero by 2030 in OECD countries, and by 2040 in the rest of the world. The Group had already elected in 2017 not to finance any projects in the thermal coal sector. To work towards its gradual exit goal, BNP Paribas plans to step up its dialogue with cor- porate clients using coal to generate part of their electricity, in order to determine to what extent their projections are aligned with the Group's exit goals by geographic area. BNP Paribas will no longer ac- cept any new customers with a coal related revenue share of more than 25% and will end up terminating its relations with any companies developing new coal-based electricity generation capacities. | 1yes

In North America, the resource sector is a very important contributor to the economy but also a source of carbon emissions. We expect the resource sector will be an important contributor to addressing environmental challenges including climate change globally. Addressing these challenges will require a balanced approach, one where CIBC will continue to support traditional energy sources and associated infrastructure but also efforts by the resource and other sectors to reduce emissions through innovative technologies and other transitionary activities. | 0no

Strategy. We assessed the risks and opportunities we may face in 2030 under two climate scenarios; a 'Pessimistic' scenario and an 'Optimistic' scenario. The 'Pessimistic' scenario is where the world fails to address climate change, leading to global temperatures continuing to rise well above 2 degrees. This scenario assumes limited policy or regulatory support and looks at physical climate risks. The 'Optimistic' scenario is where the world rises to the challenge of tackling climate change and limits global warming to well below 2 degrees. This low-carbon transition scenario centres on the rapid changes that will be needed by 2030 to cut emissions in line with the Paris Agreement. Our scenarios are based on those developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. | 0no

Investec Limited banking book South Africa is significantly dependent on coal for its energy requirements, which makes it challenging to find a balance between the need for increasing energy access and economic growth in the country, and the urgency to reduce carbon emissions. The mix of our energy portfolio in South Africa reflects the trajectory of the country's energy transition. We see natural gas as part of this transition in the short-to-medium term as the country shifts away from coal and builds up renewable sources. | 0no

As the examples show, energy labels are a common way of qualitatively or quantitatively describing the transition risk for residential real estate. It is therefore important to note that the current availability and accuracy of energy label information is limited. Energy labels are not publicly disclosed in all countries. Where they are disclosed, we have noticed they are often inaccurate. As transition risk becomes apparent and the need to quantify this in our portfolio grows, the greater the need for correct data will become. https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/-/media/boe/files/working-paper/2020/does-energy-efficiency-predict-mortgage-performance.pdf?la=en&hash=CC1DED249BFE86DB22A1AE70429BF235EA0325D8 https://eedapp.energyefficientmortgages.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/EeDaPP-D57-27Aug20-1.pdf | 0no
