Financial Institutions are quickly recognizing their contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions and stepping up in the fight against climate change. They recognize that climate change presents significant financial and physical risks along with the possibility of increased volatility in the future. As the ESG reporting and regulatory landscape heats up, stakeholders are increasingly pushing for disclosure of climate change characteristics of investments alongside financial metrics. This requires accurate and up to date insights on the climate impact of investment activities.
The Persefoni team has combined its breadth and depth of sustainability expertise with shared insight from leading financial services institutions to build a product tailored to your specific needs.
Understanding and reporting on key metrics is crucial to success. This dashboard calculates metrics for investor regulations and industry-specific reporting (emissions intensity, WACI, and weighted average data quality). Create custom reports and export key visualizations that align with your organization’s needs by filtering insights by fund/portfolio, asset class, emissions by scope, industry, data quality, and time frame.
This functionality allows users to better understand why their financed emissions differ between funds, companies, or year over year. By allowing users to make comparisons between organizations or between year-over-year changes for a single organization.
When investors create a climate change strategy, their financed emissions calculations are based on a mix of actual reported and estimated footprints. This dashboard will offer a comparison of Persefoni estimates for the same companies that report actual emissions so users can understand the difference. Estimates vs. actuals also allow comparison between different estimation methods.
Investors recognize the fundraising opportunities in creating low-carbon funds, but lack the tools to model, backtest, and construct portfolios that attract investor capital. This dashboard enables investors to construct a model portfolio based on sector and weight to understand the projected carbon emissions and take an existing portfolio (whether the investor’s or an index), and apply carbon-related filters to test screening for a low-carbon fund.
To make progress against decarbonization goals, investors need to incorporate carbon emissions into the investment diligence and underwriting process. This dashboard allows users to better understand the carbon impacts of their investment returns. Using existing revenue and EBITDA projections, combined with carbon revenue at risk, carbon pricing, and decarbonization costs, this analysis tool brings a carbon perspective to IRR/MOIC return scenarios.
It is a TCFD requirement to account for risk from climate change; this dashboard allows users to account for risk associated with the transitional impacts of climate change across their funds and portfolios. Users can model companies’ revenue and EBITDA against risks based on consumer preference changes and the cost of carbon pricing.
Decarbonization is the most important part of meeting net zero targets; Portfolio Decarbonization allows users to model decarbonization over six decarbonization scenarios:
This dashboard gives users the confidence to make and measure their net zero commitments and understand the implications of doing so.
