Portfolio Screening
A level of support has been developed from within a core portfolio of management services delivering a screening service for assets scoring companies, sectors, and real assets to determine which might be included or excluded from a particular portfolio.
The process is flexible, enabling change to both positive or negative screening criteria as values and social expectations develop, particularly in the face of climate change.
GHGWatch
Monitoring and reducing Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a critical part of global efforts to reduce the impact of climate. GHGWatch has been developed to identify point source emissions to locate the most polluting industrial assets and infrastructure.
In addition to point source emission detection and monitoring, emissions across entire regions and countries can also be monitored and measured.
