Amsterdam: Sustainalytics, a provider of ESG and corporate governance research, ratings and analysis, announced the launch May 1 of its new Carbon Risk Ratings, which measure companies’ exposure to and management of material carbon risks.
The Carbon Risk Rating captures a variety of carbon signals in a single, quantitative assessment designed to support investment analysis, decision-making and reporting. Sustainalytics says its solution provides insights related to material investment risk that cannot be calculated through the traditional approach of carbon footprinting.
“Given mounting regulatory and industry pressures around climate change, investors informed us they need deeper insights that go beyond carbon footprinting and that reflect a focus on risk and financial materiality,” said Michael Jantzi, Sustainalytics’ Chief Executive Officer. “Sustainalytics’ Carbon Risk Ratings symbolize our commitment to build and deliver innovative, high-quality products and services that support investors’ decision-making processes.”
Morningstar, a leading provider of independent investment research and strategic collaborator with Sustainalytics, also announced its new Morningstar® Portfolio Carbon Risk Score™, a metric that will help investors evaluate a portfolio’s exposure to carbon risk. In addition, the company is offering investors a larger set of 70 carbon indicators as part of its Morningstar® Portfolio Carbon Metrics™.
