Financial institutions are – more than ever – under the spotlight to demonstrate their effective integration of environmental issues into investment decision making.

Members are asking pension funds, pension funds are asking fund managers, customers are asking banks and insurers, and a host of regulators, campaigners and reporting initiatives are asking just about everyone.

But despite growing demand for transparency, corporate disclosure on environmental liabilities remains patchy. Some regions and sectors are doing well, others are lagging. And even where there is disclosure, it is often not standardized, not validated – or worse – not correct.

Trucost provides comprehensive and verified carbon and broader natural capital investment metrics empowering investors to overcome disclosure hurdles, capitalize on environmental finance opportunities, and communicate the positive impact of capital allocation decisions in a way that is data driven and robust.
