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.
