Case study - Climetrics

A green rating for pension funds

Climetrics provides an independent, holistic assessment of a pension fund’s climate-related risks and opportunities. It looks inside each fund, measuring its exposure to climate risks and opportunities, as well as the fund’s investment policy and the asset manager’s public action on climate change.

Climetrics ratings are free to search, providing investors with transparency on climate change-related risks when comparing funds. These sort of decision making tools are invaluable in helping institutional investors avoid ‘traps’ like stranded assets – investments that need to be written down or written off because they are not consistent with the future needs of society.
