(700) Carbon Transition Analytics & Carbon Tracker: Measuring Transition: AMNS
Carbon Transition Analytics & Carbon Tracker: Measuring Transition: AMNS
(https://carbontransitionanalytics.com/research-analysis/amns-company-report/)
To attract transition and concessional financing, Indian steel companies will need to produce credible transition plans. This report is the fourth in a series of company-focused assessments on the transition performance of the Indian steel majors.
While steel production is vital for India’s development goals, limited access to raw materials, natural gas, and steel scrap makes it difficult to scale without deploying carbon-intensive technologies. This strategy poses a threat to company CO2 targets and could impact future profitability.
In this report, we analyse the state and outlook for AMNS (ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India) in its strategy to grow steel capacity to 40 Mtpa in India by 2035 while reducing CO2 intensity.
Key insights from the report include:
- AMNS does not have a net zero target – Insofar as AMNS does not specify a net zero target year, it does not have net zero target. Its CO2 goals align with India’s NDC, but only if its net zero target is assumed for 2070 or earlier.
- Limited access to carbon storage sinks for CCS – With most of AMNS’ proposed greenfield capacity situated in the east, the company is unlikely to gain timely access to carbon sinks.
- Capacity plans risk nearly double target emissions – AMNS’ plans entail around 60 Mtpa of BF-BOF capacity by the early 2040s, which could exceed its target carbon budget by nearly 100%.
- Capacity plans incompatible with India NDC – Even in the most optimistic CCS scenario, CO2 emissions from AMNS’ capacity plans would overshoot the sectoral budget as storage access arrives too late.
- Future projects carry high risk of carbon lock-in – Of an estimated US$68bn of future project capital, 75% falls into the high-risk category for carbon lock-in.
- Tangible steps towards optimised transition plan – To stay within a 2070 net zero carbon budget, AMNS can install no more than 4-5 new blast furnaces, yet it has up to 12 in the pipeline. Reconsidering its 24Mtpa Kendrapara project could avoid lock-in from 5 BFs.
- Options to reduce CBAM exposure – While CBAM tariffs could amount to a 33% cost penalty on EU exports in 2030, and 66% in 2034, AMNS can reduce this by focusing exports from its natural gas based DR-EAF capacity at Hazira.

Morningstar Equity Research: Climate change vs softening reinsurance market
(https://www.morningstar.com/en-uk/business/insights/research/european-reinsurance)
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.

S&P Global: China drives Africa’s battery metals buildout
China has established itself as a dominant force in Africa’s mining sector, with a strategic focus on securing essential resources for its manufacturing and energy transition goals.
As global demand for critical minerals escalates, China’s involvement in Africa’s mining industry is reshaping the regional dynamics of resource extraction, economic development, and geopolitical influence.
(515) MFS: Sustainability in Action: Defense as Resilience
MFS: Sustainability in Action: Defense as Resilience
In brief
- Rising geopolitical tensions and a renewed focus on national security have redirected capital toward tangible defense capabilities, particularly those powered by emerging technologies like drones and advanced propulsion systems.
- Defense stocks have historically been resilient, underpinned by long-term contracts and stable, government-backed cash flows. Increasingly, the sector is also being shaped by broader themes such as climate policy and industrial innovation.
- While many investors have traditionally excluded defense, a more nuanced approach is gaining traction—one that balances ethical considerations with the sector’s evolving strategic role and governments’ increased defense spending.
- Engagement, rather than exclusion, may offer a more constructive path forward. As with any capital cycle, this shift will create both opportunities and risks.

MSCI: Is Physical Risk Financially Material?
(https://www.msci.com/research-and-insights/paper/is-physical-risk-financially-material)
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.
(481) MSCI: Compound Climate Hazards Pressure Beverage Giants
MSCI: Compound Climate Hazards Pressure Beverage Giants
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.

"Access to medicines and healthcare in low- and middle-income countries continues to be a challenge for large parts of the world’s population.
There are high expectations of large global pharmaceutical companies to engage in solving these challenges; not doing so can raise serious reputational risk. However, two perspectives remain underexplored in the current global health landscape.
- Firstly, the potential financial upside of company action on global health is less comprehensively investigated compared to the frequent focus on companies’ contributions to societal value creation.
- Secondly, despite a wide range of multistakeholder initiatives that enable dialogue and action on this important issue, the investor view is rarely isolated and examined.
SLR Consulting convened a group of investors to examine access to medicine through the lens of commercial opportunity."

RepRisk: Supply chain risk exposure in fashion: a growing concern for responsible investors
In the world of investment, fashion might not be the first sector that comes to mind when thinking about systemic risk. But beneath the surface of seasonal trends and glossy campaigns lies a complex and increasingly volatile supply chain landscape, one that’s becoming a material concern for asset managers.
RepRisk’s latest analysis of global supply chain risk reveals a sobering truth: reputational, regulatory, and operational risks are mounting, and they’re not confined to emerging markets or fringe players. They’re embedded in the operations of some of the world’s most prominent brands and they carry direct implications for financial institutions.
