Climate Change Services

Developing an understanding of how climate risk may affect you, the requirements of TCFD and the net-zero framework is critical if you are to make informed decisions. We run training sessions and workshops for our clients to help build their knowledge on climate risk, understand how climate risk can impact their long-term outcomes, develop their investment beliefs, and facilitate decision-making. We tailor our training to meet different client needs.

Change should be built from an understanding of your starting point. We can help our clients by undertaking a “climate footprint”, focusing on various climate related metrics, or through scenario analysis, to consider the resilience of strategies to different future climate pathways. As part of our research, we also evaluate investment managers and consider the extent to which their processes embed climate change considerations. Regardless of where you are on your journey to addressing climate risk, we can assess your current position and advise on appropriate next steps.

Understanding the baseline informs objective setting and allows us to help our clients prioritise action within their strategy. This can involve building a more granular understanding of their current strategy to ensure that action is appropriately targeted. We help our clients develop objectives that are right for them and ensure these action plans fit with their governance arrangements.

We help our clients explore the options for change that are available to them, and the actions they may take to evolve their investment strategy. We have helped clients reallocate assets to alternative equity strategies, both passive and actively managed, and explored options within infrastructure investment. We have also helped our clients develop and implement their stewardship policies so they can hold their providers accountable for their actions.

Monitoring progress against goals is essential and reassessment should take place on at least an annual basis. We can analyse both individual portfolios and overall strategies to consider whether the actions taken are keeping our clients on-track to achieve their targets and identify areas for further action. We also help our clients meet their TCFD reporting obligations.
