1. A Climate Change Working Group (CCWG) was established in 2018, with the responsibility of ensuring that Newton effectively manages climate- related risk and opportunities across the business, by integrating climate-change considerations into investment and business decision-making. The CCWG is chaired by the chief investment officer. Where relevant, these discussions are also fed up to the Board Risk Committee, which is chaired by BNY Mellon Investment Management’s Global Head of Governance, Greg Brisk, which is then fed into the board.
