The need for high-quality financed emissions data
Asset managers are increasingly asked to calculate and share reliable emissions information across their portfolios. This requirement for accurate financed emissions data is driven by:
- Pressure from asset owners to report carbon information.
- The opportunity to attract conscientious capital from new investors by demonstrating climate capability in investment processes.
- The need to understand and manage climate risk in existing and potential investments.
The carbon information you need when you need it
Pathzero integrates the PCAF methodologies into an easy-to-use platform, streamlining the process of responding to carbon information requests by allowing asset owners to:
- Rapidly arrive at a PCAF-aligned estimate of financed emissions across an investment portfolio.
- Securely share this emissions information with investors, providing assurance of carbon performance
- Effortlessly connect to portfolio companies to access asset-level carbon information.
- Embed climate risk assessments across the investment cycle.
“About three years ago we realised that climate change is going to become a really important part of our investing program. We started looking at what climate initiatives we should be driving at a firm level and a portfolio company level”
