As reporting and sustainable finance landscapes shift from portfolio-level decarbonization to more explicit real-economy transition impact, we increasingly serve as a strategic partner to organizations and financial institutions, helping them leverage this evolution as a catalyst for transformation, not just compliance.
We also follow (embed in our approach and programme design) key regulatory directives for sustainable finance and emerging frameworks that address the complexities of economic transitions in all aspects of our work, such as:
SFDR Article 9
e.g.: Product differentiation and alignment with sustainable investment objectives, transition strategies and multi-horizon sustainability data analysis (including Principal Adverse Impact indicators).
CSRD
[Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive]
e.g.: Development of farmer livelihood improvement interventions and measurement governance, as well as transparent and verifiable water stewardship metrics and dependencies on ecosystem services.
GFANZ Frameworks
[Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero]
e.g.: Supporting the development of nature-focused agribusiness transition financial products, following Asset Owners’ considerations in net-zero product design, governance, engagement and metrics.
Our Advisory Services team provides hands-on implementation support to help organizations, and our own projects, address the critical barriers of agribusiness transition data access/ quality/ lineage/ usability/ and governance, as well as helping organizations balance regulatory compliance with business objectives.
Our Spatial Finance Data Platform helps connect location-specific data and asset information with the financial, biodiversity and environmental metrics (including forward-looking metrics) needed to enhance nature-related disclosures and drive a green return alpha.
To improve interoperability across different frameworks, we provide standardized data that helps organizations and financial institutions connect agribusiness transition / sustainability reporting with investment decisions and nature-related disclosures.
