昆士蘭保險(xiǎn)集團(tuán)完成對(duì)燃煤資產(chǎn)的剝離

據(jù)《澳大利亞金融評(píng)論》6月1日?qǐng)?bào)道，在澳交所上市的昆士蘭保險(xiǎn)集團(tuán)已剝離其火電燃煤資產(chǎn)，并計(jì)劃削減對(duì)其他化石燃料的投資，該集團(tuán)首席投資官Gary Brader表示該公司對(duì)資產(chǎn)貶值不感興趣。

ASX-listed general insurer QBE Insurance Group Ltd. has divested its thermal coal assets and plans to trim its investments in other fossil fuels, with Chief Investment Officer Gary Brader saying the company is not interested in depreciating assets, The Australian Financial Review reported.

 

該公司預(yù)計(jì)，在經(jīng)濟(jì)從冠狀病毒大流行中恢復(fù)后，對(duì)環(huán)境和社會(huì)影響融資的需求將會(huì)增加。Brader說(shuō)，債券發(fā)行人也正在尋求為特定的社會(huì)或環(huán)境目的發(fā)行債券。

The insurer expects the demand for environmental and social impact finance to rise after the economy recovers from the coronavirus pandemic. Brader said bond issuers are also looking to issue bonds for specific social or environmental purposes.

 

“我們接到了許多發(fā)行人的電話，他們說(shuō)，‘我想引入對(duì)市場(chǎng)有益的債券，而不僅僅是只能為我的資產(chǎn)負(fù)債表提供資金的債券。’這些對(duì)話在社會(huì)層面和低碳的可再生能源方面都在增加。” Brader說(shuō)。

"We're taking a lot of calls from issuers who are saying, 'I want to bring a bond to market that does some good and doesn't just fund my balance sheet'. Those conversations are picking up, both on the social side as well as on the carbon-light, renewables [side]," Brader said.

 

QBE首席執(zhí)行官Pat Regan在2019年4月表示，該公司的目標(biāo)是到7月1日之前在燃煤發(fā)電行業(yè)實(shí)現(xiàn)零直接投資，并計(jì)劃最遲在2030年之前逐步淘汰為燃煤電廠客戶提供所有直接保險(xiǎn)服務(wù)。

QBE CEO Pat Regan said in April 2019 that the company is targeting zero direct investments in the thermal coal industry by July 1 and plans to phase out all direct insurance services for thermal coal customers by 2030 at the latest.
