    We see countless examples where investment managers need to get a deal approved by an investment committee in less than one week. Climate due diligence is essential, but it shouldn’t be a blocker. It’s important non-sustainability experts have the tools and confidence to check climate credentials and prevent unnecessary delays that may result in financial institutions passing on qualified sustainability investments.
