Is it correct that it is expected from an investor to have all the information needed in the temperature rating approach available himself, which in practice might prove to be quite challenging for e.g., large equity portfolios?

Hi Henrik,

Here are two examples of data providers that have solutions and/or data that supports the SBTi Finance Tool and its Temperature Rating and Portfolio Coverage methods.

For instance, Urgentem’s Element 6 Climate Risk Platform temperature metric is using the CDP-WWF method for its calculation. So, this is a turnkey solution for the temperature score calculation.

Another example is Bloomberg, where you find an Excel file with the fields you need from their API in their [BESG] function under the tab “Climate Solutions” and the heading “Other/Temperature Scores”. This maps Bloomberg fields to the fields in the SBTi Finance tool as given by the data legends section in our technical Getting Started guide (http://getting-started.sbti-tool.org/).

These are two examples of data providers you can use today, but the others mentioned above should have most or all of the data needed for the temperature rating calculation.

I have replied to the last part of your question in your other thread here, but we do have a data legends section in our technical getting started guide (http://getting-started.sbti-tool.org/), that should provide most of the answers.

I hope that helps.
