Funds Industry Climate Challenge
Everyone from the Funds Industry has a central role to play in the fight against climate change.
You have the opportunity to turn your firm into change agents!
The Funds Industry Climate Challenge returns in 2026, building on the momentum of Ireland’s largest workplace climate initiative.
In 2025, the Challenge engaged over 3,000 employees across 23 companies. Together, they logged 337,025 cumulative climate-smart actions during the two weeks, resulting in an estimated 322 tonnes of CO₂e emissions saved — roughly equivalent to flying 1.3 million kilometres, or circling the globe 33 times.
The award-winning Funds Industry Climate Challenge demonstrates the power of collective action in driving real change. It transforms sustainability from an abstract concept into something practical, fun, and highly engaging.
The aim of the Challenge is to inspire and empower employees by highlighting the many small, everyday actions that - when taken together - significantly reduce our carbon footprints. By celebrating participation and impact, the Challenge helps embed climate-positive habits both at work and at home.
Register your interest now to take part in the 2026 Funds Industry Climate Challenge and join your peers in leading climate action across the sector.

How does it work?
Companies participate in the Funds Industry Climate Challenge by entering teams of employees.
Each employee is a given a code to join the company team and they log dailyclimate friendly activities. All actions are quantified in terms of CO2 emissions and the results are added to the team’s overall reduction of CO2 emissions.
Each company then competes against all other companies in the industry. The team with the most amount of CO2 emissions saved at the end of the period wins!! It's that simple.
