Climate Risk Impact Screening (CRIS) is a method developed for financial service providers to assess the exposure of their portfolio to climate-related physical risks. This method, designed to flag potential risks and inform investment strategy, is a function of location-specific climate hazards and sector-specific vulnerability.

Our methodology is based on geographic and sectorial breakdowns of each company’s activity, resulting in an in-depth assessment of portfolio’s physical vulnerability to climate change.

Combining Climate Hazards & Vulnerability Profile

 Our methodology uses a sector specific value-chain vulnerability assessment, enabling comprehensive risk assessment at entity level.


bernard-hermant-z9AOxTYQBy4-unsplash.jpg

Value chain approach

The three IPCC scenarios used, which describe GHG emissions trajectories and their respective global warming levels (low, moderate and high), are universally recognized and provide a consistent foundation for scenario testing. 


emile-perron-xrVDYZRGdw4-unsplash.jpg

Science-based methodology, based on IPCC Scenarios

At entity level, ratings calculated for each activity and geographic region are then aggregated in order to quickly identify the differences in risks incurred by companies. At portfolio level, scores of each underlying entity are ultimately aggregated, helping to understand and manage the portfolio's level of risk.

We align with leading frameworks (TCFD, article 29).

Euronext’s Low Carbon 100 Europe PAB Index

Euronext

In 2015, Euronext renewed the index methodology. It selected Carbon4 Finance to create its Low Carbon 100 index, made up of 100 very liquid European companies selected according to their environmental approach.



For the first time, a low-carbon index goes beyond selection of companies with a limited carbon impact, and encompasses companies which are making a positive contribution to the climate transition, not only through their operational performance, but also, where appropriate, thanks to the products sold to their customers. 


The Low Carbon index 100 Europe® was the first in the world built to reflect an investment trajectory compatible with the 2 degrees pathway.
