As part of Quilter Cheviot’s ongoing commitment to Durrell, the Quilter Cheviot Jersey office has calculated their carbon emissions and now officially offset their carbon for 2021 with the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust’s ReWild Carbon project, which is restoring forest corridors in the Atlantic Forest in Brazil. It is one of the most species-rich habitats on the planet, but critically only 6% of it remains. An additional 25% of carbon has been added to account for anything out of scope and we are now delighted and proud to be “Climate Positive”. This is an ongoing commitment and calculations will be made on an annual basis.
About Rewild Carbon
Rewild Carbon is a carbon offsetting programme set up in a bid to revive ecosystems and species populations in tandem with reducing carbon in the atmosphere.
It allows businesses to partner with the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust to balance their carbon impacts by investing in a nature-based solution that is as effective and science driven as it is exciting and inspiring.
Offering clients sustainable solutions
Within the last decade, we have seen our clients’ financial objectives progressively align more with their ethical values.
Discussing these values with our clients has become as necessary as determining their risk preference and financial objectives. As an investment manager, we are responsible for ensuring our clients’ wealth is being invested into long-term sustainable options.
As a responsible investor, we are committed to our role as a steward of clients’ assets to protect and enhance long-term returns. We are focussed on voting, engaging with companies we invest in and collaboration with others. Read more on Responsible Investment here.
Our own environmental impact
Whilst engagement is a key factor within our investment process, it is important that we have our own house in order. We are constantly looking at ways to improve our environmental impact. Most recently, we have started to develop an online portal for clients and advisers to access all the relevant documentation they need with regards to their investments.
This eliminates the need to print and distribute physical reports unnecessarily, saving over five million sheets of paper each year. While this might seem like a drop in the ocean, we hope this will encourage other businesses to follow our lead.
We will utilise our relationship with Durrell to examine how we can reduce emissions further.
