Nikko Asset Management, one of the largest asset managers globally, produces an annual Climate Statement through its New Zealand branch, Nikko AM NZ. This vital report addresses the growing impact of climate change and its ripple effects on business, finance, and policy. It explores how the organisation is adapting to these changes by incorporating climate risks and opportunities into its investment processes. The statement highlights evolving regulations and demonstrates Nikko AM NZ’s dedication to aligning with climate standards, showcasing its proactive stance in preparing for future environmental challenges.

The Climate Statement is not only informative but also visually impactful. Designed by Tried&True, the report uses striking imagery to represent the urgent threats posed by climate change. Visuals of natural disasters, such as floods, wildfires, and storms, are used to depict the negative consequences of inaction. These are contrasted with hopeful imagery of renewable energy sources like wind turbines and solar panels, alongside thriving green landscapes. This juxtaposition between devastation and progress serves to emphasise both the risks we face and the solutions available.

The design seeks to inspire action, making it clear that while the challenges are significant, there are ways to mitigate them through positive, sustainable choices. This creative approach reflects the balance between the harsh reality of climate change and the potential for meaningful progress towards a greener, more resilient future.
