Günther Thallinger has been re-elected as the chair of the UN-convened Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance.

He will remain as chair of the Alliance for the next two years.

The Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance is a member-led initiative of 83 institutional investors, with over US$11trn in assets under management, committed to transitioning their investment portfolios to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

Over the last three years, the Alliance’s membership has grown from 12 members managing US$2.4trn at its launch.

Commenting on his re-election, Thallinger said: “I am grateful for the opportunity to support the Alliance. Strong collaboration and members’ expertise has made the Alliance the success it is today.

“My thanks go particularly to the outgoing implementation work track leads for their outstanding contributions, and the incoming work track leads for agreeing to continue the pioneering work of the Alliance into 2023 and beyond. The Alliance is a good example showcasing that investors can effectively work towards net zero.”
