Abstract

Article 173-VI of France's Energy Transition for Green Growth Act requires large mutual funds to be transparent about the impacts of their investments on climate change. This article investigates whether this regulation helps discipline fund managers to reduce their carbon footprints. Using a difference-in-difference method, we show that French funds reduced their relative carbon footprints (i.e. measured by the weighted average of the emission intensities of holding firms) more after the introduction of the law. They rebalance their portfolios toward more climate-conscious firms. These results are robust for different control samples.
