Norway-based asset owner KLP partnered with Asset Impact in 2022 as a strategic step in their organization-wide mission to achieve net-zero emissions.   With a climate strategy emphasizing a proactive approach to addressing high-emitting sectors, KLP needed a data partner to help them improve data coverage for critical parts of their portfolio and to drive their active involvement in the transition as a responsible asset owner.    "To effectively gauge the progress of the companies within our portfolio, especially concerning their climate goals, granular company-level data was imperative. Asset Impact's forward-looking data and company-level transition insights fulfilled our need for comprehensive data for portfolio companies in high-emitting sectors," said Gjermund Grimsby, Chief Advisor, Climate Change at KLP.    Read the case study to learn how #asset-based data has supported KLP in navigating the transition, measuring progress, and engaging with portfolio companies on their transition plans: https://lnkd.in/erCxivKV    #climatedata #ESGdata #decarbonization #assetmanager #climatetransition #climateanalytics

🍊 🍏 “Is your corporate reported emissions data trying to compare apples and oranges?” This was the opening question posed by Alex Clark, Research Director at Asset Impact at our lunchtime roundtable hosted with Danu Insight to celebrate #LondonClimateActionWeek. The session explored how bottom-up, asset-based and forward-looking emissions data helps financial institutions and researchers go beyond the limitations of corporate-reported emissions figures. While disclosure regulation is heading in the right direction, complementary approaches to gathering high-quality data can significantly increase flows of green and transition finance in the short window we have left to limit the worst impacts of climate change. Asset-based alternatives exist today for banks, investors and research analysts looking to engage and understand their portfolio companies, strategically allocate capital, and manage transition risk. Big thank you to the LaSalle Investment Management team for the organisation and the incredible venue. And thank you to all participants who joined us. #ClimateActionWeek #ClimateData #Innovation #Sustainability #FinancialIndustry #LCAW #emissionsdata Michel Amar Noémie Klein Chris Pyke

Our recent analysis of the EU #powersector from today until 2030 uncovered some striking findings about ownership structures, progress and the pace of #decarbonization.  For investors and banks struggling to measure and manage their exposures to renewable and fossil-fuelled electricity over the critical years ahead, our forward-looking asset-based data can provide clarity. How do we calculate forward-looking projections?   ✔ Our projections are based on companies’ capex plans, rather than simply assuming they will meet their stated targets  ✔ Future power plants are only included in our data once a start date has been identified, which in most cases follows financial close and/or the start of project construction. Our approach helps ensure that companies are only credited for projects that are more likely than not to be completed   ✔ Our detailed methodologies are transparent and full documentation is available to our clients Read the report to see our data in action: https://lnkd.in/e3qBmUQr #EnergySector #ClimateChange #Decarbonization #Sustainability #AssetImpact #GRESB 

💡 How can banks turn pledges into meaningful climate action? "More data and disclosure are needed." That's according to a new piece of research by MIT Sloan School of Management, titled “Business as usual: bank net zero commitments, lending, and engagement.” We couldn't agree more! That's why we've designed our range of asset-based products to provide the financial sector with granular and forward-looking data across 11 high-emitting sectors (and counting!). Navigate the transition to net zero with skill and drive urgent impacts in the real economy with Asset Impact. Curious? Get in touch with our experts via our website.

💡 Progress and Challenges in the EU Power Sector 💡 In our new report, "Power Players: Ultimate Ownership, Emissions, and Slow Progress in the EU Power Sector from 2024 to 2030," we explore the dichotomy within the EU power sector. While there are promising signs of transition: - Emissions are projected to decline by one-third by 2030 - Almost all top emitters will reduce their emission intensity - Renewable energy generation is expected to double ❗However, “unless the rate of progress doubles in speed after 2030 and coal is completely phased out, it will not be enough to meet either the EU's climate objectives or the IEA's Net Zero by 2050 Scenario," concludes, Alex Clark, our Research Director Click here to discover the detailed analysis: https://lnkd.in/e3qBmUQr #EnergyTransition #ClimateGoals #Sustainability #AssetImpact #GRESB

The #AssetImpact team at GRESB has released a report on the #EU #PowerSector, revealing critical insights into the role of government-owned power generation portfolios in hindering progress towards EU climate goals. 🔍 Key findings include: 1️⃣ Just 20 companies are responsible for nearly 40% of the sector’s emissions  2️⃣ A striking 88% of power generation from the 20 largest generators is ultimately attributable to national and local governments  3️⃣ By 2030, coal and gas will still account for 5% and 20% of electricity supply, respectively, based on actual capex plans Alex Clark, Research Director for Asset Impact at GRESB, says, “To get on track with the IEA’s Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario, total emissions in the EU power sector need to decline more than twice as fast as they currently are over the next six years and coal needs to be completely phased out” Read the report, "Power Players: Ultimate Ownership, Emissions, and Slow Progress in the EU Power Sector from 2024 to 2030," to dive into the full analysis.
