Climate Excellence

Scenario analysis software for companies

Know how climate risks and opportunities could affect your portfolio with just a few clicks

Current business models and their strategic resilience are facing major challenges from climate change. Although the consequences of climate change can change the risk-return profile of financial assets, there is often still too much intransparency and uncertainty about their potential impacts and drivers. However, it is precisely this transparency that regulators such as the European Central Bank (ECB), the UK Financial Services Authority (PRA) or the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) and other regulators such as the EU Commission demand.

Improved retrofit analysis tool: New functions for the energy and financial evaluation of refurbishment measures

The new functions include the consideration of mixed buildings, the identification of energy efficiency classes (EPC), the evaluation of the climate impact in the form of a temperature score and the automated generation of suitable reduction paths with corresponding packages of measures and associated costs. Find out more at the HypZert Annual Convention on 20 and 21 February 2024 in Wiesbaden.

What information is necessary to use Climate Excellence?

To use Climate Excellence as a Software as a Service version, only the basic information of your portfolio is required: for example, the names of the companies included, their portfolio share and their ISIN. It is also possible to run the analysis by specifying the country and sector instead of the ISIN, if the analysis is to be run for non-listed companies. For the analysis of real estate, the type of real estate (e.g. office, residential), its associated country, its year of construction and its value are necessary to run the analysis.

Which climate scenarios can I choose between in my analysis?

For the analysis of transitory risks, you can choose between three scenarios each from the International Energy Agency (IEA), the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) and, for real estate, between two scenarios from the Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor (CRREM).
The IEA scenarios include:

  • 2,5°C Stated Policies Scenario (STEPS)
  • 1,7°C Announced Pledges Scenario (APS)
  • 1,5°C Scenario Net Zero by 2050 (NZE)


The NGFS scenarios include:

  • 2,5°C Scenario Current Policies
  • 1,8°C Scenario Delayed Transition
  • 1,5°C Scenario Net Zero 2050.

The CRREM scenarios include 2.0°C and 1.5°C.

For physical risks, you can choose between the 1.8°C scenario (SSP1-2.6), the 2.7°C scenario (SSP2-4.5) and the >4.0°C scenario (SSP1-2.6) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Can the results from Climate Excellence be integrated into existing processes?

The results from Climate Excellence are structured and prepared in such a way that they can be easily transferred to sustainability reporting, risk management and strategic decision-making. The option to download the results content as an Excel file facilitates integration.

What technology is the analysis software and its user interface based on?

Climate Excellence is based on the latest SAP cloud technology. Experience an optimised user interface from our strong technology and data partner SAP. Climate Excellence is based on the SCP and SAC with the possibility of a timely development of further modules.

How are the results of the analysis presented?

The results of the scenario analysis are presented in the form of percentage changes in profit (EBITDA/EBIT), turnover and, for real estate, additionally in the form of absolute investments as a result of climate-related changes compared to the base year 2021. The methodology offers a range of metrics and can be adapted to a different base year (for the overall portfolio).

How regularly is the underlying data updated?

The underlying data is updated annually. In addition, we actively monitor the development of research and update the data as needed.

How is your data protected from theft when entered?

Your entered, transmitted and temporarily stored data is encrypted on the platform (this also applies to backups). Only you can access the data with your company's internal identification service. This also enables single sign-on (SSO) and multi-factor authentication (MFA): SSO is enabled by linking Climate Excellence to your corporate identification service and then automatically logging in via an internal link provided by your IT service. As long as your in-house IT infrastructure provides MFA, the login process is secured accordingly via this.

Which period can be covered by the Climate Excellence software?

With Climate Excellence, a period up to 2100 can be analysed for physical risks and up to 2050 for transitory risks.
