ISS ESG has unveiled a scenario analysis dataset that allows investors to assess and benchmark their portfolios with climate reporting requirements incorporated. The tools are part of ISS ESG’s DataDesk platform, which allows users to assess their portfolios’ exposure to climate risks.
The scenario analysis tools will allow investors to assess their portfolios’ alignment with reporting requirements and standards of organizations such as the UN Environment Program’s One Earth Climate model, the Network for Greening the Financial System Climate Scenarios Phase 3 and the International Energy Agency’s World Energy Outlook 2022.
“The new dataset helps investors assess a portfolio’s alignment with up to 22 scenarios provided by leading public pathways, to satisfy evolving global and regional climate-related reporting requirements, and to conduct a broad range of benchmarking analyses across sectors and regions,” said Till Jung, head of ISS ESG, in the announcement.
Metrics tracked by the tool include implied temperature rise and cumulative alignment metrics, among a wide range of indicators that allow for greater transparency.
ISS ESG is a unit of ISS STOXX, which also owns CIO.
