Venture Leaders' Alumni Carbon Delta Acquired by MSCI

Carbon Delta is a boutique research firm that specializes in identifying and analyzing the climate change resilience of publicly traded. They became a global leader for climate change scenario analysis by developing a proprietary evaluation system that helps investors assess climate risks in their portfolios. They identify how much a company’s value is possibly affected by climate change.

 

Together, MSCI and Carbon Delta will create an extensive climate risk assessment and reporting offering for the institutional market, providing global investors with solutions to help them better understand the impact of climate change on their investment portfolios and comply with mandatory and voluntary climate risk disclosure initiatives and requirements. Voluntary reporting initiatives are being led by entities such as the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI), while mandatory disclosure requirements are quickly developing across the European Union and North America.

 

“We are very excited to join forces with MSCI to mature and grow our products. Combining Carbon Delta’s scenario analysis and MSCI’s products is what institutional investors have been asking for,” said  Carbon Delta CEO Oliver Marchand.

 

The Carbon Delta integration will expand MSCI’s robust suite of climate risk capabilities with state-of-the-art modeling technology that supports climate scenario analysis and forward-looking assessment of transition and physical risks, as well as extensive company-level analysis of publicly traded companies globally.
