Climate targets analysis solutions

As the world transitions to net zero, there are an increasing number of metrics that companies are being assessed against, making benchmarking companies more complex.

Bloomberg’s suite of ESG datasets provides investors with a range of options to analyze the carbon footprint and financed emissions of a portfolio, including how these translate into an implied temperature rise. By embedding the widely recognized science-based approach used by the SBTi, Bloomberg delivers metrics investors can use to develop investment strategies that align capital allocation with climate objectives.

Climate and biodiversity risks solutions

How can I monitor the climate and biodiversity risks in my portfolio?

Companies are coming under more scrutiny for their approach to climate and biodiversity, including a regulatory need to disclose related risks.

Bloomberg’s comprehensive climate data solutions can help you assess a company’s impact and climate vulnerabilities, as well as exposure to physical and transition risk. You can also view a company’s direct and indirect impact and dependencies on biodiversity, including geospatial analysis and water stress.
