The Tracker Group, the home to Carbon Tracker and Planet Tracker, has appointed Christine Chow as its inaugural Chief Executive Officer. This leadership change aims to enhance the organisation’s efforts in transforming global financial activities to support a net-zero and nature-positive future.
Chow’s appointment follows a decision by the Tracker Group’s Board to integrate Carbon Tracker and Planet Tracker under a single leadership team, reinforcing their collaborative impact in sustainable finance.
Christine Chow brings 27 years of experience in sustainable and impact investing, corporate governance, and technological innovation. Her career includes leadership roles at UBS, Credit Suisse, HSBC, and Schroders, among others. As Chair of the International Corporate Governance Network (ICGN), Chow represents investors managing approximately $77 trillion in assets worldwide.
Commenting on her new role, Chow said, “Carbon Tracker and Planet Tracker are respected for their research and insights into climate and nature. I am excited to lead this mission to empower investors and policymakers with actionable solutions.”
The Tracker Group aims to support investors in reallocating capital to address the challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss. Carbon Tracker focuses on company risk assessments and investor engagement in the energy sector, while Planet Tracker analyses the financial impacts of food systems and oceans.
Alice Chapple, Chair of the Tracker Group Board, praised Chow’s appointment and said, “Christine’s expertise in capital markets and sustainability makes her well-equipped to lead the Tracker Group at this critical time for climate and nature-focused finance.”
Founder of the Tracker Group, Mark Campanale, highlighted the importance of the Tracker Group’s work as clean technologies expand and the fossil fuel sector faces greater scrutiny. “Under Christine’s leadership, the organisation is well-positioned to advance its mission of fostering a transparent and accountable financial system,” he said.
