Hi, I’m Marisa Buchanan, Global Head of Sustainability for J.P. Morgan Chase. Thank you to the International Forum of China Impact Investing for bringing us all together for this important, inaugural meeting.
This year, J.P. Morgan is honored to celebrate another significant milestone in our history – 100 years in China. We opened our first branch in Shanghai in 1921. As global trade boomed, we looked to support our clients in China and across Asia Pacific. Over the past 100 years, the world has witnessed enormous economic growth, including China’s own significant transformation. We are honored to be playing our part in this transformation and look forward to continuing supporting our clients in the region.
As a financial institution, we know we have an important role to play in advancing both a sustainable and an inclusive economy – it’s not just the right thing to do, it also makes good business sense.
There are a few ways for doing that:
Last year, we announced a Paris aligned financing commitment where we've committed to align key sectors of our financing portfolio with the climate goals of the Paris agreement. Just recently, we were proud to have released our very first carbon targets for three key industry, sectors oil and gas, electric power and automotive manufacturing. We are also growing our capacity within our own business to support our clients and their sustainability and low carbon journeys. We've created two new business units, the center for carbon transition and a green economy team to support our clients, the small, medium and large around the world with access to finance as well as advisory solutions and research, all tailored to really support our clients and their efforts to advance their own sustainability objectives.
Now, we also know that it's gonna be critical to invest in the development and commercialization of new technologies that will help get the world on the path towards the climate goals of Paris. We know that capital is critically important to that objective. This is a key reason why we were proud to have recently announced a ten-year $2.5 trillion target designed to support companies and projects, advancing goals of sustainable development around the world. And that includes a $1 trillion target to support companies and projects, advancing sustainable development, as well as climate solutions. We're also committed to transparency around our environmental, social, and governance performance. And we're proud to have recently released our latest ESG report, which discusses the way that JP Morgan is managing a whole suite of ESG issues, as well as how we're using the strength of our business to contribute to sustainable and inclusive economic growth around the world.
Now as we're growing our capacity to address these issues, we're committed to helping our clients in China and the rest of the world do the same. We've been so pleased to support so many of our clients in China. When it comes to issuing green, social and sustainability bonds, we've been really proud to have helped underwrite a total of nearly $8 billion for our clients in China when it comes to green, social and sustainability bonds. Going forward, we look forward to doing more. There's huge opportunity, huge ambition within China, and we are proud to be a partner supporting so many of our clients in the region with these objectives.
Thank you for the opportunity to join you today. I wish you the best and look forward to an exciting conference. Thank you.
THE END
