Back to How We Help Clients
PLANETRICS

Helping financial institutions assess climate risk and opportunity
Planetrics offers cutting-edge tools to help clients quantify, report, and
manage climate impacts.
We support financial institutions in assessing climate-related risks and
opportunities, and managing and reducing their financed emissions to reach net
zero. We model the impact of a broad range of physical and transition-related
climate risks on tens of thousands of individual assets globally. We
continuously evolve our platform, based on the latest climate models, data and
research. This enables us to help our clients assess the exposure of their
portfolios and investments to climate change, and quantify financial
implications across all asset types.
WHAT WE DO

RISK MANAGEMENT

Develop risk scoring and modeling for financial institutions to project the
potential financial impact of both the transition and physical risks of climate
change.
FINANCED EMISSIONS MEASUREMENT

Calculate the financed emissions baseline—the overall carbon footprint of
investment, lending, and insurance activities—using the latest methodologies.
This includes the Paris Agreement Capital Transition Assessment and the Science
Based Targets Initiative.
STRESS TESTING

Run the most recent climate scenarios—including the Bank of England's Climate
Biennial Exploratory Scenario and the European Central Bank’s climate stress
test—and calculate the effects on balance sheets, income statements, and credit
risk.
INVESTMENT AND LENDING PROCESSES

Provide detailed data to evaluate the climate risks and opportunities across
multiple sectors, geographies, and asset classes to guide and inform the
investment and lending process, which includes identifying investment
opportunities in companies that support the transition to a low-carbon economy.
STRATEGY SETTING

Help financial institutions set science-based targets to reach net-zero financed
emissions, and monitor and track progress. Provide support on alignment of
net-zero pathways with portfolio companies.
PUBLIC DISCLOSURE

Produce the relevant metrics for the Task Force on Climate-related Financial
Disclosures and other climate reporting using our solutions, including
PlanetView.
WHO WE HELP

We offer solutions to clients across the financial sector to help them measure
and manage climate risk, develop customized scenarios and analysis, and reduce
their financed emissions, while meeting regulatory reporting and disclosure
requirements.

EXAMPLES OF OUR WORK

PREPARING FOR A CLIMATE STRESS TEST

We worked with a national bank to prepare for a climate stress test by
developing an asset-level analysis of the group’s corporate, commercial, retail
real-estate, and sovereign counterparties. The bank has incorporated key
insights about its climate exposure into its risk-management framework to allow
continuous monitoring and management of climate-related risks in the future.
MAPPING PHYSICAL AND TRANSITION CLIMATE RISK

We helped a top private-equity fund model its exposure to physical and
transition climate risk across its portfolio investments in sectors and regions.
The fund used Planetrics’s analysis to inform its management of climate-related
challenges and growth areas.
QUANTIFYING THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON AN EQUITIES PORTFOLIO

We supported a sovereign wealth fund in assessing the physical and transition
risks of climate change for thousands of public equities across multiple
geographies, helping them quantify the challenges presented by carbon costs,
competition dynamics, and chronic and acute physical impacts. Building on these
insights, the fund was able to develop tools to help investment teams integrate
climate change considerations into their investment processes.
DEVELOPING STRATEGY AND REPORTING FOR CLIMATE RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

For a leading insurer, we evaluated the impacts of a range of climate transition
risks and physical risks on their investment portfolio and underwriting across
multiple insurance business lines for a range of sectors and geographies. The
insurer used these insights to inform its strategy and governance for managing
climate risks and opportunities. The insurer also incorporated the analysis in
its internal and public climate-related reporting.
