activities have on our clients and wider society.
Do Our Part on Climate Change
All businesses need to make a concerted and meaningful change
to understand where their greenhouse gas emissions come from
and how to reduce their emissions to ensure that the average
global temperature rise stays within a manageable level.
Liontrust is committed to:
• disclosing our scope 1 and 2 emissions;
• disclosing scope 3 emissions including those of our key outsourced
providers, travel and the emissions of our investments; and
• developing an absolute reduction target by the end of this year
for 2025.
All businesses need to understand how to reduce their
greenhouse gas emissions to ensure that the average global
temperature rise stays within a manageable level.
