Making FECIF and its members the front-runners in global decarbonisation by ensuring that environmental sustainability is financially attractive.
Not only do Financial Advisors (FAs) have the ability to reduce their clients’ carbon footprints through shifting investments to more sustainable industries by using billion-air fund fact sheets, but the structure and distribution of FECIF and national associations provide the perfect platform to implement a multi-dimensional approach to solving the climate crisis.
In order to reach Net Zero targets, we will need to reduce and compensate for our current carbon footprint, invest in a sustainable manner, drive innovation, and provide education.
FECIF and billion-air recognise the potential that financial advisors hold in decarbonising the economy and have therefore set up a structure to place FECIF at the forefront of decarbonisation, by establishing national associations as community hubs across Europe. These community hubs will supply their members with billion-air know-how and fund fact sheets to promote sustainable investments and prevent greenwashing while also being the home of “green pools”. The green pools are designed to attract new clients by elevating the profile of the national associations, setting them as key figures in local decarbonisation efforts. These green pools of money will drive innovation by providing grants to eco-friendly start-ups as well as making green donations to schools and communities, providing the perfect opportunity to increase publicity and attract new clients while making a substantial difference.
In order to kickstart this transition, establish green pools, and set FECIF as a global front-runner in decarbonisation, financial advisors need to offset their personal carbon footprint. If all its member advisers and intermediaries become carbon neutral, FECIF will be attributed with 3 million tonnes of CO2 reductions instantaneously, making FECIF an integral part of helping the EU achieve their climate goals. On top of 3 million tonnes of CO2 reductions, FECIF and its national association members would then have a combined €3,150,000 assigned to their green pools, with an additional €3,150,000 going towards supporting the operation of FECIF and those associations. Utilising these green pools, paired with 3 million tonnes of CO2 reduction, establishes FECIF as a front-runner in global decarbonisation efforts.
The world is heading towards a Zero-carbon economy, and Financial Advisors and Intermediaries should be rewarded for playing an integral part. That is why €1 from every sale of billion-air carbon credits, completely independent of financial advisors, will be channelled back into FECIF and the national association of the country where the transaction occurred. With half of this €1 going towards the green pools and the other half towards supporting FECIF and their associations’ operations.
