Net-zero journey
Tailoring solutions for an asset manager to support its journey to net-zero carbon emissions.
Opportunity
One of world’s largest asset managers is a UN PRI signatory and Climate Action 100+ member. The US-based company set a net-zero target and was looking for a way to measure, monitor and report on its net-zero journey.
Solution
We delivered an integrated set of tools, data and insights with our Climate Lab Enterprise platform to help the firm actively manage its five-year interim targets leading to its commitment to reach net-zero by 2050. Access to private asset data was critical given a large allocation to private investments.
Outcome
The asset manager included climate change as a strategic risk in its risk management process and was able to identify companies, portfolios and funds that were impacting its trajectory using Implied Temperature Rise metrics to support investment selection, portfolio repositioning and engagement.
