More than ever, going beyond short-term management is becoming a necessity in a world in the midst of physical, economic and regulatory upheavals induced by climate change and biodiversity decline.. Carbon4 Finance has for years supported investors with assessing the climate impact of 900+ Green Bonds, evaluating their contribution to climate change mitigation. For investors, our green bonds solution is a way to ensure a bottom-up analysis of a bond’s climate impact

Franklin Templeton Investment is using Carbon4 Finance data for their Green Bond assessment: “Our objective was to understand the real-life impact that the green bond or project has on climate change. This includes the impact of materials used, construction principles, sourcing of materials, grid factors, energy being displaced out of local system – all these variables can be radically different if the incorrect or generic assumptions are used.”
