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.

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).

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.

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.

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).

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

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.

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