Contact Energy is one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s largest electric utilities companies. Contact operates three thermal power stations that employ gas and diesel.

This includes NZD 1.2 billion in geothermal power, by constructing a new station and expanding capacity at an existing station, along with early developments in wind and solar generation. Therefore, the company is considered to be on a climate change pathway aligned with 1.5°C of global temperature rise.

All companies are exposed to varying levels of ESG risks. Mint analyses the most material ESG risks companies are exposed to, and we expect our investee companies to manage these risks appropriately. If their risk management falls short of our expectations, in most cases we prefer to engage with the company to encourage sustainable change. Engagement is preferred to divestment as divesting reduces our ability to positively influence.
