The asset impact team at GRESB has launched Transition Analytics, a specialised product designed for asset owners and managers to better manage transition risk, engage their portfolio companies with detailed insights, and meet their varied environmental commitment and reporting requirements.

The product provides users with the world’s most comprehensive asset-based emissions and activity database for 11 of the most emissions-intensive sectors, linking more than 148,000 physical assets to 3,000 listed companies with ownership stakes in these assets, along with their 32,000 listed and private subsidiaries.

Furthermore, the absolute emissions and physical emissions intensity data – covering the current year and forecasted up to 2029 – enables asset managers and owners to gain a deep understanding of the climate impact derived from their portfolios. With Transition Analytics, users can set bottom-up sectoral targets in line with international guidelines, such as those from the Net Zero Asset Owner Alliance or Net Zero Asset Manager Alliance; efficiently meet climate-related reporting requirements, such as the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR); and strategically allocate capital and manage future transition risks.

“Asset managers and owners that are paying attention understand the business risks associated with climate change and are working hard to integrate them into their existing frameworks to minimise potential losses,” Vincent Jerosch-Herold, GRESB’s chief product officer for Asset Impact, said.

“Our goal is to empower these institutions with the data and insights they need to protect their investments and decarbonise their portfolios from the bottom up.”
