Equitix’s Post

Great to see this progress with TCFD reporting for private markets and infrastructure assets in particular. Well done to Equitix and Joe Robinson for leading the way and beginning to fill what has been a significant gap in total portfolio level TCFD coverage. With the increasing exposure of UK pension schemes such as LGPS and DC Mastertrusts to private markets, this is becoming an essential piece of the overall sustainability jigsaw.

BEI recently launched its newest report, “Accelerating Climate Finance: a view from UK-based specialist providers”. This paper is designed to meet the needs of a range of agencies seeking rapid insights and technical support in implementing climate finance mechanisms. As well as delving into the challenges associated with climate finance as a concept, this report showcases the unique capabilities of companies within BEI who offer consultancy services to governments and private sector clients across various modes and instruments of climate finance. These capabilities are illustrated through an at-a-glance overview of company specialisms and a set of case studies which demonstrate effective approaches to build capacity and respond to climate-related challenges. Within the report, you will be able find case studies from our members, including Arup, AtkinsRéalis, Chemonics UK, DAI, DT Global, Mott MacDonald, Nathan, a Cadmus Company, Palladium: Make It Possible, Ricardo plc, Tetra Tech, and Social Development Direct. , To read the report in full, you can find it on our website here: https://lnkd.in/ekqDZMnH

Last week, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission mandated detailed climate-related information in registration statements and periodic reports, including climate-related financial metrics in audited financial statement notes. However, Scope 3 emissions disclosure requirements were excluded. What could the new and extensive disclosure rules mean for companies and investors? #climate #finance #scope3emissions

Last Friday, the Federal Council decided on further development of the voluntary Swiss Climate Scores.   Some aspects of the Swiss Climate Scores have been refined in order to facilitate their implementation by the industry and increase their comprehensibility for investors. Optional questions are now being asked on the climate-related investment goal, with financial institutions stating and justifying whether a financial product is climate aligned or contributes to mitigating climate change. In addition, the exposure to renewable energies must now be disclosed alongside the exposure to fossil fuels.   The updated Swiss Climate Scores will apply from 1 January 2025. Already next year, SIF will examine the state of voluntary uptake. Where does your institution stand regarding climate transparency for financial products? https://lnkd.in/eXY72UJn #climatetransparency #sustainablefinance #ESG
