Kate Kwiatkowska, head of ESG and corporate marketing at Fintel, said: “As the UK pivots towards net zero, financial advisers will be a driving force in ensuring client portfolios are invested in a way that matches the client’s ESG preferences.
“Aside from this crucial role, many advisory firms are looking to ensure their own operating models move towards net zero.
“We are delighted to have been able to use our deep understanding of the advice firms we serve to help design a practical framework for financial advice firms to follow and demonstrate their net zero credentials to clients.”
Peter Michaelis, head of the Liontrust sustainable investment team, added: “Much of the focus for decarbonisation has been on large well-resourced companies. But it is critical that smaller businesses also take action.
“This Net Zero Financial Advisers Initiative offers a rigorous yet simple tool that advisers can use to plan their path and measure their progress to a zero carbon world. Liontrust is delighted to have supported its development.”
