We remain committed to empowering investors by providing rigorous, data-driven solutions that incorporate sustainability into the investment process. This quarter, we've introduced three significant updates to our platform and services across both the regulatory and climate topics:


Expanded EU Taxonomy Coverage


We've added four additional EU Taxonomy objectives to our platform to now cover all six objective as defined in the latest regulatory update:


  • Sustainable use and protection of water & marine resources

  • Transition to a circular economy

  • Pollution prevention & control

  • Protection & restoration of biodiversity & ecosystems


To ensure our EU Taxonomy alignment is both rigorous and transparent, we apply a four-stage process to every mapped business activity. This yields granular breakdowns for eligible, aligned and disclosed Turnover, Capital Expenditure (CapEx) and Operating Expenditure (OpEx), separately for each of the six environmental objectives.


Key benefits


  • Regulatory readiness support: EU Taxonomy Articles 5, 6, 8 & 9 templates provided with key quantitative metrics pre-filled

  • Unrivalled coverage: Both disclosed and estimated data covering 40,000+ listed issuers

  • Transparent methodology: Step-by-step breakdown of eligible, aligned and disclosed revenues, CapEx & OpEx



Downloadable UNGC/OECD Violations Evidence


To bolster your SFDR disclosures and stewardship activities, we now provide issuer-specific violation rationale documents for UN Global Compact (UNGC) and OECD Guidelines breaches:

  • One-click downloads from the SFDR module on our platform

  • PDF evidence files detailing the specific issue, source documents and research team rationale

  • Annual updates or ad-hoc releases upon significant events


Key benefits


  • Enhanced due diligence: Granular conduct-based insights at issuer level

  • Regulatory compliance: Simplify PAI reporting for social safeguards

  • Engagement support: Equip stewardship teams with the full context for company dialogue



Climate Scenario Planning Service


Climate Scenario Analysis is now available as an optional add-on to our standard climate dataset. Investors can now assess portfolio resilience under three IPCC- and NGFS-aligned pathways:


1. Business-as-Usual (~3.5–4.2 °C warming)

2. Orderly Transition (< 2 °C)

3. Intermediate Path (2.5–2.8 °C)


For each scenario, we model:

  • Physical risks → asset value impacts

  • Transition risks → revenue growth effects

  • Carbon pricing → profit margin impacts

  • Combined effects → market-capitalisation changes


Outputs are delivered at company level and can be aggregated by market-cap weighting for portfolio analysis via secure data feed or bespoke managed report .


Key benefits


  • Forward-looking insights: Quantify potential financial impacts through 2050+

  • Strategic planning: Scenario-driven stress-testing for downside risk management

  • Customisable assumptions: Adjustable horizons, growth and carbon price inputs per client request
