NY Pension Fund Prioritizes Climate Over Big Oil Profits: Restricts Investments In 8 Companies, Including ExxonMobil
The New York State Common Retirement Fund plans to restrict its investments in eight integrated oil and gas companies, including Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:XOM).
紐約州共同退休基金計劃限制對包括埃克森美孚公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：XOM）在內的八家綜合石油和天然氣公司的投資。
The move reflects New York Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli's review of the transition readiness of energy sector investments that face significant climate risk.
此舉反映了紐約主計長托馬斯·迪納波利對面臨重大氣候風險的能源行業投資過渡準備情況的審查。
DiNapoli said, "Climate change is an increasingly urgent risk facing all investors, and I am determined to protect the state's pension fund by keeping it at the forefront of efforts to mitigate risks to our investments. This reduces our fund's exposure to fossil fuels."
迪納波利說：“氣候變化是所有投資者面臨的越來越緊迫的風險，我決心保護該州的養老基金，將其置於降低投資風險的首位。這減少了我們基金對化石燃料的敞口。”
"Consistent with my fiduciary duty to maximize investment returns for the benefit of our members and retirees, these actions should help accomplish the goals of our Climate Action Plan."
“這些行動應有助於實現我們氣候行動計劃的目標，這符合我的信託責任，即最大限度地提高投資回報，以造福我們的會員和退休人員。”

The fund plans to divest its corporate bonds and actively manage public equity holdings in eight integrated oil and gas companies that are determined to be not transition-ready.
該基金計劃剝離其公司債券，並積極管理八家被確定尚未做好過渡準備的綜合石油和天然氣公司的公募股權。
Apart from Exxon, the companies to be divested and restricted in the coming months are Delek Group (OTC:DELKY), Guanghui Energy Company Ltd., Echo Energy PLC, IOG PLC, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd and Dana Gas Co and Unit Corp.
除埃克森美孚外，未來幾個月將被剝離和限制的公司還有德萊克集團（場外交易代碼：DELKY）、光輝能源有限公司、Echo Energy PLC、IOG PLC、石油天然氣集團有限公司和德納燃氣公司和單位公司
As of Dec. 31, 2023, the total value of these holdings is around $26.8 million.
截至2023年12月31日，這些持股的總價值約爲2680萬美元。
The fund "will continue to hold Exxon and the others that are restricted in its passive index holdings at this time," a spokesman for DiNapoli said to Reuters.
迪納波利發言人對路透社說，該基金 “將繼續持有埃克森美孚和其他目前被動指數持有受限的公司”。
As per the report, spokesman Matthew Sweeney said that while the fund will divest about $25 million worth of Exxon shares, other Exxon holdings total about $500 million.
根據該報告，發言人馬修·斯威尼表示，儘管該基金將剝離價值約2500萬美元的埃克森美孚股票，但埃克森美孚的其他持股總額約爲5億美元。
Sweeney further said, "The passive strategy is fundamental to the Fund and has been successful. The review determined that removing it from the passive index would go against fiduciary duty at this time."
斯威尼進一步表示：“被動策略是基金組織的基礎，並且取得了成功。審查確定，目前將其從被動指數中刪除將違背信託義務。”
Earlier in 2023, the Fund updated its assessments of shale oil and gas, oil sands, and coal companies, leading to restrictions on investment in around 50 firms that it determined failed to demonstrate transition readiness, including six new coal companies and four new shale oil and gas companies.
2023年早些時候，該基金更新了對頁岩油氣、油砂和煤炭公司的評估，從而限制了對約50家公司的投資，其中包括六家新的煤炭公司和四家新的頁岩油氣公司。
