    To attract transition and concessional financing, Indian steel companies will need to produce credible transition plans. This report is the fourth in a series of company-focused assessments on the transition performance of the Indian steel majors.

    While steel production is vital for India’s development goals, limited access to raw materials, natural gas, and steel scrap makes it difficult to scale without deploying carbon-intensive technologies. This strategy poses a threat to company CO2 targets and could impact future profitability.

    In this report, we analyse the state and outlook for AMNS (ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India) in its strategy to grow steel capacity to 40 Mtpa in India by 2035 while reducing CO2 intensity.

    Key insights from the report include:

    • AMNS does not have a net zero target – Insofar as AMNS does not specify a net zero target year, it does not have net zero target. Its CO2 goals align with India’s NDC, but only if its net zero target is assumed for 2070 or earlier.
    • Limited access to carbon storage sinks for CCS – With most of AMNS’ proposed greenfield capacity situated in the east, the company is unlikely to gain timely access to carbon sinks.
    • Capacity plans risk nearly double target emissions – AMNS’ plans entail around 60 Mtpa of BF-BOF capacity by the early 2040s, which could exceed its target carbon budget by nearly 100%.
    • Capacity plans incompatible with India NDC – Even in the most optimistic CCS scenario, CO2 emissions from AMNS’ capacity plans would overshoot the sectoral budget as storage access arrives too late.
    • Future projects carry high risk of carbon lock-in – Of an estimated US$68bn of future project capital, 75% falls into the high-risk category for carbon lock-in.
    • Tangible steps towards optimised transition plan – To stay within a 2070 net zero carbon budget, AMNS can install no more than 4-5 new blast furnaces, yet it has up to 12 in the pipeline. Reconsidering its 24Mtpa Kendrapara project could avoid lock-in from 5 BFs.
    • Options to reduce CBAM exposure – While CBAM tariffs could amount to a 33% cost penalty on EU exports in 2030, and 66% in 2034, AMNS can reduce this by focusing exports from its natural gas based DR-EAF capacity at Hazira.

    Sustainable investors have typically avoided investments in defence. Geopolitical developments, and the evolution of a more nuanced view of what matters for sustainability, have now brought the sector into focus: sustainability criteria and investing in defence can be aligned as autonomy, resilience and security emerge as key investment themes, writes Sindhu Janakiram.

    Investors have been hesitant to embrace the biodiversity space, but investment momentum and flows should shift with the release of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosure game-changing framework.

    Summary

    • Critics argue biodiversity is too complex to effectively measure
    • TNFD framework sharpens sector focus and data metrics
    • Investors can now better differentiate biodiversity leaders

    The global energy conversation is shifting. While decarbonisation remains a critical goal, the urgency of energy security has taken centre stage.

    Geopolitical tensions, supply chain realignments, and surging electricity demand are reshaping how nations think about power – and where they get it from....

    Below are the key takeaways from the second publication in the ISS STOXX Natural Capital Research Institute’s new series on critical minerals. To download a copy of the full report, please  click here.

    • The transition to a more resilient energy sector largely relies on an increasing use of renewable energy sources and the adoption of new technologies. Both require extensive use of minerals, particularly critical minerals. Nickel and cobalt, being transition metals that provide high energy capacity, conductivity, and energy density, are both used in batteries, including electric vehicle (EV) batteries. 
    • According to the most conservative scenario (STEPS) from the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global annual nickel demand driven by clean energy technologies will more than double from 2030 to 2050. Under the same scenario, the IEA projects that global annual cobalt demand driven by clean energy technologies will increase by roughly 16% from 2030 to 2050.  
    • ISS data shows that sustainability issues, such as biodiversity loss, water pollution, human rights, and climate change, present potential risks to investors in nickel and cobalt mining companies. One way mining companies can improve their sustainability performance is through recycling materials and other circular economy strategies. 
    • Institutional investors can benefit from having a better understanding of the sustainability profiles of the nickel and cobalt mining companies in their portfolios and help assess which companies are best positioned to manage sustainability risk and meet international global standards and regulations around responsible mining.

    • "Nuclear energy’s global resurgence is boosted by the need to reconcile competing demands for energy security, reliability and decarbonisation.
    • Investors should stay focused on reality amid the hype about new nuclear technologies.
    • We expect sustained policy support to provide a structural tailwind.
    • Traditional nuclear power’s value chain is offering some compelling opportunities."

    • Hybrid vehicles are gaining favor among US drivers, and their market share is projected to increase as North American sales of electric vehicles (EVs) are forecast to decelerate.
    • The easing of US fuel economy rules and the elimination of tax credits for EV purchases prompted Goldman Sachs Research to cut its forecasts for EV market penetration.
    • Margins for North American operations may be 2 to 3 percentage points higher than previously assumed as traditional automakers maximize profits with an optimized balance of internal combustion and hybrid vehicles.
    • Goldman Sachs Research now projects EVs to be 25% of global sales in 2030, down from a prior prediction of 28%, though its forecasts for China remain unchanged.

    "Just three financial institutions – Vanguard, BlackRock and JPMorgan Chase – together provided over US$1.6 trillion to the Forest 500 companies, giving them a significant influence on deforestation, conversion and associated human rights abuses.

    Financial institutions headquartered in China provided the most financing by country, over US$400 billion, to the Forest 500 laggards (the 168 companies without a public deforestation commitment). This is followed by the United States (US) with US$151 billion, and French financial institutions with US$57 billion.

    In 2023, 45% of the financial institutions assessed had a public deforestation policy. This fell to 40% in 2024. This troubling shift is in contrast to the trend over the previous decade, when financial institutions increasingly set deforestation policies.

    Despite accelerating global heating and the increasing frequency of destructive climate events, the proportion of financial institutions that recognises deforestation as a business risk in 2024 was virtually unchanged at 37%, compared to 35% in 2023."

    ShareAction’s Banking Standards team works towards holding financial institutions accountable for their impact on climate change. We have a history of campaigning on key aspects of banks’ climate strategies—such as their emission reduction targets or fossil fuel policies—and we are gradually expanding our work to include other sustainability themes and banking regulation. We have achieved significant wins, such as contributing to HSBC becoming the world’s largest bank to cease financing for new oil and gas fields, Barclays dramatically reducing its oil sands financing, and mobilising investors to call on Societe Generale to set a renewable energy target.

    The team is structured around two main pillars: our campaigning and research pillar. The research pillar ensures that the team’s campaigning and advocacy work is based on sound analysis and facts. The Senior Research Manager oversees the research pillar, currently composed of three more junior researchers. The Senior Research Manager is responsible for developing and implementing a research strategy that underpins campaign needs for analysis and insight in line with campaign timelines and available resources. They oversee and contribute to the delivery of high-quality research outputs, including thematic reports, investor briefings, surveys of Europe’s largest banks, and ensure that they are underpinned by clear and robust research methodologies. Alongside the Head of Banking Programme and the Senior Campaign Manager, they act as an ambassador for the team in external forums, the media, and when meeting with and presenting to external stakeholders, including banks, civil society organisations, and investors.

    Key responsibilities are detailed in the Job Description in the downloadable Candidate Pack.
