    EU regulation reiterates the need for financial institutions and businesses alike to better understand the synergy between futureproofing their organisation and taking climate action. Uncovering potential risk and opportunity blind spots helps businesses understand how they can remain relevant in a Net Zero world.

    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.
