South Pole Group and the Global Footprint Network are joining to forces to help investors assess the impact of their investments on CO2 emissions. In order to increase awareness of climate protection among investors, the two organisations want to further improve their analysis methods, reports a press release. Dr Maximilian Horster, Director Financial Industry at South Pole Group, refers to the Global Footprint Network’s experience in measuring ecological risks as one of its strengths.
South Pole Group adds that there is an increasing awareness among investors about the climate change impact of their assets. The group believes the reasons for this increasing awareness are related creditworthiness and legal requirements in their respective countries.
