Investec is promoting sustainability as part of its core strategy and believes there needs to be a balance between economic and financial imperatives, the needs of society and their combined impact on the environment. Our commitment to sustainability recognises the interconnected nature of our business, the economy, the environment and society. Within our operations we support efforts to limit global warming to less than 2 C above pre-industrial levels; and to transition to a low carbon economy. We have achieved net-zero carbon emissions in our global operations and committed to ongoing carbon neutrality for our operational footprint.
