Brookfield Asset Management (NYSE: BAM) (TSX: BAM.A) today
announced the appointment of Mark Carney as a Vice Chair and Head
of ESG and Impact Fund Investing. Mark brings a wealth of knowledge
and expertise to his role at Brookfield. He is currently the United
Nations Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance and is a
longtime advocate for sustainability, specifically with regard to
the management and reduction of climate risks.
Mark will expand on Brookfield’s existing
strengths in ESG investing with the development of a group of funds
that will work to combine positive social and environmental
outcomes with strong risk-adjusted returns for investors. The funds
will make ESG-focused investments that are both capable of
delivering measurable outcomes against specific impact goals and
consistent with Brookfield’s extensive experience investing in
high-quality, sustainable assets that form the backbone of the
global economy. Bruce Flatt, CEO of Brookfield, said, “We are
excited to have Mark joining Brookfield. Throughout his stellar
career in both the private and public sectors, Mark has been a
vocal proponent of the positive role that private capital can play
in climate action.” Mr. Flatt continued, “Building on our track
record in renewable investing, Mark will help accelerate our
efforts to combine better long-term outcomes for society with
strong risk-adjusted returns. Mark’s insights and perspectives will
add tremendous value to our global investing activities for the
benefit of our investors.”Mark Carney remarked, “With an
accelerated transition to a net zero economy imperative for climate
sustainability and one of the greatest commercial opportunities of
our time, I’m looking forward to building on Brookfield’s leading
positions in renewable energy and sustainability to the benefit of
its investors and society.”This appointment is another step in
Brookfield’s longstanding commitment to sustainability, with ESG
principles embedded across the investment process and operations of
its businesses. Brookfield has built the world’s largest pure-play
private sector renewable energy business over the past three
decades. With nearly 20,000 megawatts in operations and 18,000
megawatts in development globally, Brookfield invests in, and
responsibly owns and operates, high-quality renewable power assets
that provide virtually carbon free energy around the world.
Mark served as the Governor of the Bank of
England from 2013 to 2020. In addition, he served as First
Vice-Chair of the European Systemic Risk Board, and remains a
member of the Group of Thirty and the Foundation Board of the World
Economic Forum. In December 2019, Mark was appointed as the United
Nations Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance and will
continue in that role. Prior to his tenure as Governor of the Bank
of England, he served as the Governor of the Bank of Canada and
