Our Consulting and Advisory Services help institutional investors design and implement climate-aligned strategies that incorporate their financial objectives, stakeholder perspectives and operating constraints.
Our Consulting Framework
Developing policies and choosing the right combination of approaches is challenging given the lack of standards, uncertain reliability of data, and evolving best practices. Our consulting services are designed to deliver guidance, consultation and decision-making support to help investors integrate relevant climate considerations into their investment process.
Governance
We keep staff and fiduciaries up-to-date on emerging best practices and help to build organizational consensus around beliefs and ambitions focusing on expected financial outcomes, values alignment and real-world decarbonization.
Strategy
Our analytics tools and advice enable investors to measure their portfolio carbon footprint, set goals, assess different decarbonization approaches, and identify strategies that best align with institutional beliefs and operating constraints.
Implementation
We identify additional data and resource requirements and recommend changes to asset allocation and manager evaluation / selection processes. We can also explore financial product overlays and carbon offsets to hedge carbon risks and lower financed emissions.
Monitoring
We help supplement traditional performance reporting by monitoring external investment managers’ alignment against net zero commitments and develop reports on progress toward decarbonization goals.
