Sweep for Finance

Your financed emissions on-track

Meet Sweep for Finance

Get accurate carbon data on your investments. Whether you’re an asset manager, investment bank, or private market investor.

Financial institutions have a crucial role to play in the transition to a green future.

Research from the CDP suggests that financed emissions are over 700x larger than reported operational emissions. The rise of climate disclosure regulations across the globe will push financial organizations to get reliable and consistent climate data from portfolio companies - helping them act and prevent greenwashing.

“Before Sweep, a person with the patience of an angel had to deal with hundreds of emails and meetings, then manually enter data into spreadsheets. It’s confusing, especially when you work with thousands of suppliers.”

What are financed emissions?

As a financial institution, you indirectly contribute to greenhouse gas emissions through your financing or investment activities. These emissions can occur throughout the value chain of the companies and projects you finance, including production, transport, and use of goods and services.

They usually form the largest part of most financial organizations’ carbon footprints. That’s why it’s so important to disclose these as part of your efforts to manage climate-related risks and opportunities.

What’s the temperature of your portfolio?

To help financial organizations align their investments with the Paris Climate Agreement, the Science-based Targets Initiative (SBTi) developed the concept of a finance portfolio temperature.

This is a metric that calculates the average temperature increase that would result from the greenhouse gas emissions associated with an investment portfolio. The finance portfolio temperature allows investors to evaluate the climate impact of their investments and to set targets to reduce emissions and lower the temperature increase associated with their portfolios over time.

Why is now the time to act on your financed emissions?

Firstly, there is a growing demand from stakeholders, particularly institutional investors, for more transparency and disclosure on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, including climate change.

Secondly, there is a growing regulatory pressure on financial institutions to disclose their climate-related risks and opportunities. Several countries have introduced regulations that require financial institutions to disclose their climate-related risks and to report on their progress towards meeting climate targets.

You’re also likely to discover that measuring and managing your financed emissions can help you identify opportunities to improve the sustainability and resilience of your portfolio companies.
