September has certainly been a good month for Aviva (LSE: AV). The FTSE 100 insurer has seen its share price hit the highest level since 2007. That might make it sound as if Aviva shares have become expensive. But one person who does not seem to think so is the company’s chief executive.

Image source: Rolls-Royce plc Barely had the stock market opened for trading today (29 September) and Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR) did it again. Having already hit multiple all-time highs so far this year, the Rolls-Royce share price today sailed past its former record to hit a new peak. I have been sitting on the sidelines. But could now be the right moment for me to add some Rolls-Royce shares to my portfolio? What’s going on? First, it is helpful to understand why the share has performed so well.

The industry produces nearly two billion tonnes of crude steel annually, with average emissions ranging from 1.85 to 2.33 tonnes of CO2 for every tonne of steel. Despite being the backbone of infrastructure, renewable energy, and modern manufacturing, steel remains one of the hardest sectors to decarbonize. Against this backdrop, ArcelorMittal, the world’s second-largest steelmaker, pledged in 2020 to slash emissions by 25% globally and 35% in Europe by 2030. It also announced a longer-term goal of reaching net…
