We launched a new module on our platform aimed at helping investors meet the reporting requirements set forth by The Taskforce for Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), align investment strategies with climate goals, and assess the climate risk of portfolio companies. With this new analytics module, investors can view mandatory TCFD analytics, including carbon footprint, financed emissions, issuer-level temperature alignment, and transition risk scenario analysis. Additionally, the feature gives investors the option to explore a suite of key TCFD metrics such as fossil fuel reserves, allowing them to get a comprehensive understanding of climate risk and opportunity in their portfolio.
The new solution incorporates key components such as transition risk scenario analysis, covering both planned and additional policy costs of carbon. Additionally, a temperature scoring methodology built on the Science Based Targets Initiative (available only at issuer level) – the leading multi-stakeholder methodology for assessing corporate alignment with global climate goals. Moreover, the solution features portfolio emission aggregations aligned with the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s requirements.
Managing the impacts of climate change, as well as tightening regulation and market shifts to a low-carbon future, calls for transparent and consistent climate-related data. TCFD standard is already the most widely adopted framework for understanding and reporting climate-related risks – and reporting against them is now mandated by several regulators globally. With the new feature at their disposal, Matter’s clients are better equipped to meet this demand.
