- France’s Fonds de Réserve pour les Retraites (FRR) has invested €100m in the newly launched BNP Paribas FRR Eurozone Advanced Transition Equity Index, developed in partnership with BNP Paribas.

The index, which is a climate-focused equity strategy, covers a universe of large- and mid-cap shares in the eurozone, and is designed to align with the Paris Agreement. The index goes beyond measuring current emissions and impacts, as it also aims to assess companies’ ability to finance, implement and complete their climate transition in the years to come. This initiative forms part of the wider implementation of the FRR’s 2024–2028 strategic sustainability plan, which is focused on three priorities: climate, biodiversity and social issues. The FRR will monitor the financial and non-financial performance of this index over time to assess opportunities for extending this approach to other investment universes.
