Sustainalytics’ Climate Solutions
Low Carbon Transition Ratings
Our comprehensive framework measures the degree to which a company’s projected greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions differ from a net-zero pathway between now and the year 2050. The ratings measure an issuer's exposure from their expected emissions, while also accounting for management actions. Investors are enabled to respond to regulatory initiatives, implement net-zero strategies, and fulfill client net-zero mandates.
Physical Climate Risk Metrics
Physical Climate Risk Metrics support investors in their efforts to assess and disclose the exposure of their investments to the physical consequences of climate change. In addition, the metrics assist in strategic capital allocation within capital markets by providing a dataset that covers a wide range of physical hazards and potential impact mechanisms.
Carbon Emissions Data
Sustainalytics’ Carbon Emissions Data is designed to provide investors with powerful insights to assess and analyze companies’ GHG emissions. Our Carbon Emissions Data is backed by best-in-class multi-factor regression models to estimate greenhouse gas emissions. With our sophisticated estimation models and high-quality data, investors can respond to regulatory requirements and initiatives such as the EU Action Plan, TCFD, and PRI.
