We reduce our exposure to carbon intensive companies, as measured by Weighted Average Carbon Intensity (WACI). This is an indicator of current climate-related risks facilitating comparison across asset classes and across industry sectors, in the endowment’s equities allocation.
We aim to achieve a carbon intensity of less than 85 (t of CO2e) per million pounds of revenue by 2025.

After thorough consultation with students and staff, led by Royal Holloway’s Students’ Union and supported by members of the University’s Environmental Sustainability Working Group, and careful consideration from the University's Investment Sub Committee, in 2023 the University’s Statement of Investment Policy was updated in recognition of our commitment to environmental sustainability, social justice and addressing the climate emergency within our endowment investments. This included the decision to divest from fossil fuel investments.
