Abstract: The French financial sector must support the transition to a low-carbon economy by managing the associated risks and by contributing to financing it. Between 2017 and 2022, French equity mutual funds halved their carbon footprint, mainly favouring companies with lower emissions. However, the decline in absolute emissions by companies held had a limited impact.

Le secteur financier français doit accompagner la transition vers l’économie bas carbone en gérant les risques associés et en la soutenant financièrement. Entre 2017 et 2022, les fonds OPC d'actions français ont divisé par deux leur empreinte carbone, privilégiant principalement les entreprises moins émettrices. En revanche, la baisse des émissions absolues des entreprises détenues a eu un impact limité.
