The Data Revolution in Climate Risk: Why Banks Need Asset-Based Insights

Alex Clark, Research Director

Mark Norman, Head of Content

Traditional climate risk assessments rely on incomplete corporate reporting. Alex Clark of Asset Impact explains how asset-based data offers financial institutions a transparent, consistent, and forward-looking approach to managing climate risk - tracking emissions from the ground up.

Financial institutions struggle with incomplete and inconsistent corporate climate disclosures. Alex Clark of Asset Impact introduces asset-based company data, a bottom-up approach that maps real-world assets to financial institutions, offering a transparent and globally consistent way to assess climate risks.

Unlike traditional reporting, this method links emissions directly to assets, ensuring financial analysts can make informed decisions based on complete, validated, and comparable data.

Asset-based data also enables scenario analysis, helping institutions measure transition risk more accurately and align investments with climate goals.
