On the occasion of the 2025 Say on Climate Report event organised by the FIR and ADEME on the 25th of September, the FIR is publishing its complete Say on Climate 2025 Report, with the Ethos Foundation and the World Benchmarking Alliance participations.

This report provides at first an overview of Say on Climate at global level, followed by a presentation of the work carried out for the second year in Europe, with 19 SoCs analysed.

In the best case scenario, BASF is expected to align with a 2°C pathway by 2030. The company’s pathway to 2030 is now better evidenced, supported by tangible actions in renewable sourcing, efficiency, and pilot-scale low-carbon technologies.

However, reliance on post-2030 technological deployment, weak Scope 3.1 targets with incomplete coverage, and modest transition capex commitments mean that BASF is not aligned with a 1.5°C pathway.

After more than 15 years of tightening, the financial sector is entering a new era of rules and reforms. Regulators are easing capital requirements and other constraints on banks, insurers and fintechs, creating unprecedented growth opportunities across old world and next-gen financial systems.

Key findings

• Hurricanes can drag returns across a broad swath of equities. Firms with assets located in hurricane-prone regions have historically underperformed, with losses compounding over the observation window.
• The severity of stock underperformance has correlated strongly with the share of a firm’s assets exposed to hurricanes. The more a company relies on hurricane-prone assets, the worse the returns tend to be.
• Investors can anticipate and manage hurricane exposure before storms hit by mapping vulnerable assets, monitoring seasonal risks and incorporating adaptation measures into engagement, rebalancing or hedging strategies.

Key findings:

• Hurricane-exposed firms significantly underperformed, with effects compounding up to 30 business days post-event.
• Tail risk increased: The lowest-performing firms continued to decline over the 36-day study window.
• Concentrated exposures worsened underperformance versus diversified footprints.
  Utilities were most vulnerable, while IT and industrial companies suffered mainly when critical or concentrated assets were exposed.
• Adaptation strategies helped reduce performance declines.

Key findings

• Water quality is a new frontline of climate risk: Nestlé’s recent setbacks show extreme weather can drive contamination and costly reputational and financial fallout. Five other beverage firms may face similar risks.
• Mitigation strategies vary: Companies with more water-efficient processes may mitigate some of the risks of contamination as part of a holistic water-management approach.
• Climate hazards create compounding events: Floods, heat waves and droughts are increasingly converging, creating compounding risks for companies. Investors who assess climate threats in isolation risk missing the bigger picture. 

European Stability Mechanism (ESM) investments in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) labelled bonds reached €7.4 billion by the end of 2024. This significant allocation of its €80.5 billion paid-in capital underscores the ESM’s commitment to supporting this asset class and the specific objectives to which the proceeds are dedicated.

The ESM has long recognised that the value of ESG-labelled bonds lies not just in their labels – green, social, or sustainability – but more precisely in the underlying projects they finance and, ultimately, their tangible impact. This is why subcategories of ESG labelled bonds become essential for responsible investors, allowing them to identify in which themes – from energy transition to biodiversity – investments are made.

Consequently, issuers in labelled bonds provide increasingly more detailed expected allocations of the funds they raise. This blog explores how the sub-categorisation of use-of-proceeds bonds can help investors understand their impact and, consequently, how the ESM’s approach as an investor promotes sustainable prosperity.

Throughout history, the commercialization of new forms of energy has given rise to fossil fuel conglomerates and renewable energy enterprises, powered energy-intensive technologies, and created new global investment opportunities. As countries now race to secure the massive amounts of energy needed for leadership in artificial intelligence, nuclear energy is newly positioned to meet the moment. 

When nuclear power initially rose to prominence during the Cold War, it became a defining feature of the era, symbolizing both existential threat and scientific triumph. In the decades after the Second World War, countries raced to develop civilian nuclear programs, lured by the promise of energy too cheap to meter.

But after accidents like Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima, the momentum behind nuclear energy stalled. Public opposition surged, regulatory burdens grew, and innovation slowed. Today, nuclear energy makes up just 9% of the global electricity mix, down from approximately 18% in the late 1990s. 

After decades of underinvestment, a convergence of generational technological breakthroughs, intensifying geopolitical competition, and the need for clean, dense, reliable power are positioning nuclear energy for a renaissance. 

Brazil is a global forerunner towards a low-carbon future – its innate advantages could unlock $2-3T in investments until 2050.

A ‘climate solution’ can be broadly defined as an investment that offers a product, service or technology that enables the low carbon transition. This generally includes both climate mitigation (activities that help to reduce, avoid or remove greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere) and climate adaptation/resilience (activities that help the world adjust to cope with expected or actual climate change impacts).

According to the Climate Policy Institute (CPI), to meet a 1.5C scenario (limiting global temperature rises to this level above pre-industrial levels), the expected finance need is around $7.4tn each year through to 2030, with a significant proportion focused on climate mitigation.

As the warming scenario increases – i.e. for scenarios where temperatures rise above these levels – the need for adaptation activities increases to prepare, for example, for expected and increased extreme weather-related events. The CPI estimates the projected losses that can be avoided by 2100 by limiting warming to 1.5C to be five times greater than the climate finance needed by 2050 to meet this target.

In recent years there has been a pronounced focus on megatrends, with fibre networks, data centres and renewables all sought after assets. Yet the silent backbone of economic activity – transportation infrastructure – deserves renewed attention.

Before discussing the sector’s merits and evolution, it’s worth re-emphasising the benefits of diversification in prudent credit investing. Including an economically core infrastructure exposure such as transportation can help reduce overexposure to risks related to regulatory changes, ramp-up uncertainties and valuation bubbles observed in sectors such as digital infrastructure and renewables.

Transport infrastructure delivers classic infrastructure attributes: a portfolio of long-life and indispensable assets that have endured all forms of market dislocations. Covid was perhaps the most severe test of its resilience. Most assets have since recovered strongly, with operational and financial metrics now exceeding pre-pandemic levels in many regions.

The largest surprise of the 2025 proxy season was the Securities and Exchange Commission’s new restrictions on permissible shareholder resolutions in the middle of an ongoing proxy season.

This permitted companies to throw out many proposals that had already been submitted under the prior rules. It also heralded a sharp fall in the number of environmental and social proposals that made it to the corporate ballot box this year.....

The annual RIA Advisor RI Insights Study assesses how responsible investment is approached by Canadian retail investment advisors. It is the most comprehensive national study of advisors’ RI perceptions in Canada, which delves deeply into how they are using RI today, what the most sophisticated users value and what some of the barriers are to those who have not yet embraced RI in their practice. 

The Transition Finance Council (TFC), the body set up by the UK government and City of London Corporation to promote transition finance, released its draft guidelines for consultation in August. While not focusing on specific financial instruments or products, we believe the guidelines aim to support financing for entities, particularly in high-emitting and hard-to-abate sectors, whose emissions trajectory is aligned with a credible decarbonisation pathway.

Assessing the sustainability impacts of the agriculture and food supply chain sector is particularly complex. It sits at the intersection of numerous environmental and social issues and has material impacts on a wide variety of environmental, social and governance (ESG) themes, including climate change mitigation and adaptation, biodiversity and nature, food security, food quality and health, and labour rights practices.

Sustainability “pure players” are entities that derive most of their revenue from environmentally or socially positive activities. Pure players offer investors the opportunity to link enterprise-level investments to a positive sustainability impact. This has made understanding how to credibly identify and evaluate pure players more important.

Some Asia-Pacific issuers are adopting donation-based penalties within sustainability-linked bond (SLB) structures, replacing or supplementing traditional coupon step-ups when targets are missed. This emerging approach could enhance the credibility and perceived effectiveness of SLBs amid ongoing scrutiny

Global environmental listed infrastructure represents publicly traded companies that own and operate essential infrastructure assets – such as renewable energy networks, water and waste utilities, sustainable transport systems, and key digital infrastructure – designed with a strong environmental focus.

These assets provide critical services that underpin modern economies, with business models that can be characterised by regulated revenues, long-duration contracts and inflation linkage. 

The LP Impact Primer -  Evaluating Impact Funds

This piece is part of the partnership series (“Exploring Institutional Impact”) aimed at 
providing practical guidance, research insights, and tools related to impact and sustainable 
investing for the ILPA member community.

An actionable guide providing LPs with a framework and specific questions to identify high-quality impact investment opportunities with the additional goal of promoting greater comparability and consistency in the data requested from GPs during diligence.

• The vast majority (85%) of impact investors were headquartered in high-income countries, 
  including 69% headquartered in Northern America or Northern or Western Europe.
• Nearly three-quarters (73%) of impact investors focused on private markets, while just 6% 
  focused on public markets.
• For organizations not yet making impact investments, many cited lack of resources, lack  
  of client demand and lack of shareholder demand as barriers to starting.

Can MSCI ESG Ratings Help Identify Latent Credit Risk in a Bond Portfolio?

This study explores whether sustainability data — specifically MSCI ESG Ratings and datapoints within — can help with early identification of corporate bonds at risk of adverse credit events such as distressed valuations, credit-rating downgrades or sizable spread widening. 

Using a 10.5-year dataset covering over 21,000 bonds included in MSCI Fixed Income Indexes, we found that bonds of issuers with low MSCI ESG Ratings were significantly more likely to experience such events.

We observed these results across both the investment-grade and high-yield bond universes. 
Employing survival-analysis techniques, we illustrated that high-ESG-rated bonds not only experienced fewer credit events but remained unaffected longer — suggesting sustainability data may be useful in modeling both the probability and timing of credit events.

Global food prices are particularly sensitive to weather and government policy in a few key regions.

While Climate Change Could Drive Reinsurance Volume Long-Term, Softening of Reinsurance Market Is More Important Medium-Term

The expectation is that climate change will likely drive reinsurer volumes in the long term. However, the reinsurance market is currently at overcapacity, setting the stage for softer conditions in the medium term.

The capacity has led to a shift in the reinsurance cycle that is now in full swing, and this can be seen in individual reinsurer risk-adjusted prices and the Guy Carpenter rate online.

Prices are being affected the most in property excess of loss—natural catastrophe. Scor probably has the lowest exposure and should provide investors with the best returns.

Moving toward accurate projected emissions

Modeling companies’ future emissions trajectories is a key element of transition finance, both for assessing alignment with climate objectives and for understanding potential investment risks from emissions.

While many policy recommendations call for the use of “forward-looking” methodologies to gauge future emissions, we argue that financial decision makers need empirically verified predictive indicators to make better-informed investment decisions. In this paper:

• We identified potential transition indicators along four phases of a company’s transition journey: target and governance indicators, low-carbon indicators such as capex, green-bond investments or green patents, revenue-based indicators such as green revenues or fossil-fuel-based revenues, as well as its recent emissions trajectory.
• We identified indicators with historically predictive power over three-, four- and five-year periods for changes in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions, using appropriate statistical-analysis techniques.
• We found regional differences in our predictive analysis, with the strongest statistical confidence in climate indicators found in the European and Asia-Pacific developed equity markets, and the weakest in the U.S.
• These results may help investors as they seek to build faster-transitioning portfolios and identify companies likely to reduce emissions more slowly, warranting closer engagement.

For two decades, investor “stewardship” has overwhelmingly targeted corporates. It is productive at the margin, but the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss have not been solved. If investors want fast, coordinated, system‑level change, they should point the firepower of engagement at the only actors that can move whole policies overnight: governments. Corporate engagement changes things far too slowly.

Consider where current engagement time and resources actually go. The world’s largest managers still report hundreds to thousands of company touchpoints each quarter, e.g., BlackRock logged 631 engagements with 592 companies in Q1‑2025 alone.

By contrast, sovereign engagement remains in its infancy (despite available PRI guidance and some efforts by investors) even though the sovereign bond market is the upstream lever on economy‑wide rules. Investors do report on sovereign engagement in their annual stewardship reports, but it tends to be presented as an afterthought and at a relatively superficial policy level compared to the significant and systematic approaches taken to corporate communications.

Stewardship reports are awash with corporate case studies, but there is minimal if any description on how action on sovereign bond holdings and purchases might have an impact. 

OECD outlooks highlight record borrowing needs across advanced economies, underscoring governments’ reliance on market access. Markets can also force policy change at speed; the UK’s 2022 gilt episode and Trump’s recent see saws on tariffs show how quickly policy U‑turns follow when bond confidence snaps.

• What bond stewardship means
• Where investors spend time vs where the leverage is
• Sovereign climate and biodiversity impacts and bond market reliance

Solar and wind outpaced demand growth in the first half of 2025, as renewables overtook coal’s share in the global electricity mix.

This report analyses changes in global electricity generation from January to June 2025 compared with the same period last year to measure the progress of the global clean energy transition.

The report draws on monthly electricity data from 88 countries representing 93% of global electricity demand and includes estimated changes in the remaining generation. It also dives deeper into the top four CO2-emitting economies, which together account for 63% of the world’s electricity generation and 64% of global CO2 emissions from the power sector.

• Compared to the 2024 assessment, there has been an increase in the number of companies that have set long-term net zero targets. However, short- and medium-term commitments remain lacking. 
• Most companies continue to fail to disclose transition plans detailing how they intend to achieve their targets. 
• There is a disconnect between the targets or ambitions that companies are setting and their actual emission reductions reported.  

TPI State of the Corporate Transition 2025: headlines for investors

• "Alignment on Management Quality has remained steady
• Long-term alignment on Carbon Performance has increased
• High-level and long-term commitment contrasted with a lack of near-term alignment
• Alignment of future capital expenditure with decarbonisation goals remains the lowest scoring MQ indicator and showed no improvement between 2023 and 2024.
• Corporate policy engagement is the lowest scoring indicator on MQ Level 3
• Companies’ longer-term decarbonisation plans appear dependent on new technologies

We need more ESG not less

I’m getting a bit fed-up with the kicking down on ESG.

And I don’t just mean the ‘MAGA/anti-woke’ movement in the US who are shitting on ESG from a great height with their fiduciary cancel-culture (i.e. telling investors how they should invest).

No, what irks me at the moment are commentators dismissing ESG with a rhetorical quip.

What bothers me more is that I respect many of them.

But what irritates me even more is that some of what they’re saying is right, while much is facile and counter-productive.

Firstly, let’s take a great two-part article by Michael Liebreich, founder of Bloomberg New Energy Finance (and part of an equally insightful blog that everyone should read).

Investing in long-term operational energy transition infrastructure, especially within a semi-liquid structure, could help schemes balance liquidity and risk-return requirements, while also meeting broader sustainability objectives.

By Sarah Adams, Vert Asset Management

Artificial intelligence (AI) may be software, but it is built from hardware: steel, copper, concrete, and energy. Every search query, AI-generated image or digital transaction routes through a data center, the brick-and-mortar to the cloud. These facilities, ranging from modest colocation sites to sprawling hyperscale campuses, run 24/7 to store and process the data behind cloud computing, AI, streaming and more.

The companies that own and operate this infrastructure fall into two groups: hyperscale cloud providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google and Microsoft, and the real estate owners such as real estate investment trusts (REITs) like Digital Realty and Equinix.1,2 Hyperscalers are no longer just tenants, and data center REITs are not just landlords. Both the tenant and the landlord are now active energy market makers who are reshaping how power is sourced, scheduled and delivered."

By Ron Pernick, Clean Edge, Inc.

"When Joel Makower and I cofounded Clean Edge back in 2000, we had a very clear sense that a host of emerging clean technologies – spanning renewables, the grid, transportation, and more – would experience learning curves and growth trajectories more akin to the internet and computers than to extractive energy sectors such as oil and gas. In hindsight, this thesis seems obvious, but at the time it was a radical concept that was just being embraced by a small cohort of tech and investment experts who had witnessed similar breakthroughs in the high-technology sector. After 25 years, clean tech and high tech are now firmly converging, especially at the intersection of the electric grid."

As global temperatures rise, extreme rainfall is becoming more common. The more frequent flooding events that follow carry rising human and financial costs. In the five years to 2022, economic losses from global floods totalled US$286bn, up 40% on the preceding five-year period.1

Rising incidence and value at risk from floods is expected to drive surging investment in stormwater infrastructure. We believe this will support demand for innovative products and services that help better manage risks to property and life.

The NAB (Netherlands Advisory Board on impact investing) has released a research report presenting the results of a systematic and comparative review of how blended finance mechanisms could function across a diverse set of fund structures, investment strategies, and sectors. By aligning impact objectives with commercial capital requirements, blended finance offers a powerful pathway to mobilise private investment at scale and accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Ensuring high levels of integrity remains central to scaling the global carbon-credit market. Buyers of carbon credits need ever greater assurance that the credits they are buying have the intended impacts.  

Our 2025 State of Integrity in the Global Carbon-Credit Market Report provides insight into the initiatives that are helping to enhance confidence in the carbon-credit market. Our research reveals how integrity standards are rising, why demand for high-quality projects is outstripping supply and how systemic risks — from delivery delays to governance gaps — are reshaping market dynamics. Drawing on MSCI Carbon Project Ratings covering more than 4,400 registered projects and nearly 250 in the pipeline, this report offers investors and market participants a data-driven lens into the forces shaping carbon-credit quality.
