This Monday, we had the pleasure of participating in the second Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC) Summit, which brought together over 450 professionals, both in-person and online, from across the #climate and #finance landscape. Our Climate Research Director, Nico Fettes, contributed to one of the workshop sessions where IIGCC members explored how forward-looking investors are already applying #AI to identify risks, uncover opportunities, and accelerate climate action, and what’s coming next as the technology continues to evolve. 👏 A huge thank you to the IIGCC team for organizing such a valuable event, what a way to start London Climate Action Week! 📍If you're in London this week attending climate-related events, reach out to our team to connect and exchange ideas around sustainability and data-driven decision-making.

🌡️ Bold climate targets aren’t enough, especially in steel and cement. https://hubs.la/Q03tvznx0 Our latest research reveals: ➡️ Only ~40% of steel companies are on track to meet their own targets ➡️ 0% are aligned with the IEA Net Zero pathway ➡️ Cement sector emissions have barely moved since 2018 But there’s a path forward. Using AI and emissions data, Clarity AI analyzed which companies are pulling key decarbonization levers—like Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs), clinker substitution, and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)—and the impact is clear: 1️⃣ Steel companies using EAFs show 9% lower carbon intensity 2️⃣ That’s equivalent to a 14-year head start on climate targets 3️⃣ In cement, lower clinker-to-cement ratios = lower emissions The takeaway? Emissions metrics alone aren’t enough. What matters is whether companies are taking real action today to meet long-term goals. 🔗 Read the press release and access the full analysis in the link above.

The SEC just scrapped its anti-greenwashing ESG disclosure rule. What happens next? According to Clarity AI's regulatory lead Tom Willman the move could open the door to more ESG-labeled funds, but with fewer checks. And that means investors could find it even harder to tell who’s serious about sustainability and who’s just marketing it. ⬇️ Check out Tom's full explanation in the document below. 📰 Get more expert commentary like this in our monthly newsletter: https://hubs.la/Q03tvB560 #SEC | #sustainableinvesting | #ESGdisclosure | #regulations | #finance | #investors | #ESG | #esgdisclosures | #esgregulation | #greenwashing | #responsibleinvesting | #sustainablefinance | #sustainability

If sustainable investing could really be reduced to a single score, the market would already know. Outperformance comes from seeing what others don’t. That means understanding how a company defines and implements diversity, digging into the details of climate transition plans, and recognizing factors like the long tail of avoided emissions that often go overlooked. 🎙️ In this episode of Sustainability Wired, Alex Edmans, Professor of Finance at London Business School, joins Clarity AI's Lorenzo Saa to explore the sustainability factors that matter most and why sustainable investing demands nuance, not shortcuts.

The ESG backlash didn’t come out of nowhere. Some of it was deserved. After years of rapid growth and outsized expectations, the industry now finds itself at a critical inflection point. In the latest episode of Sustainability Wired, Professor Alex Edmans of London Business School joins Clarity AI’s CSO Lorenzo Saa to unpack what triggered the backlash, where the criticism holds weight, and what investors should focus on now. Key points from the conversation: 1️⃣ Some pushback is deserved, particularly on the quality of evidence 2️⃣ Nuance beats slogans like “1.5 or bust” 3️⃣ Sustainability does not always drive performance 4️⃣ AI is a valuable and promising tool, but not a silver bullet 5️⃣ Rebuilding trust requires transparency 🎙️ Listen to the full conversation here: https://hubs.la/Q03t7FvZ0 #sustainability | #sustainableinvesting | #responsibleinvesting | #investing | #esg | #esgbacklash | #SustainabilityWired
