13 July 2021, London – Arabesque has announced the launch of a new suite of Climate and Regulatory Solutions for the transition to a net-zero economy by 2050, as companies and financial institutions integrate climate considerations in their decision-making on a vast scale.

Launched today following the recent landmark approval by the European Union to make the bloc’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions targets legally binding, and as policymakers globally prepare policies to fight climate change, Arabesque’s new solutions will enable clients to capture net-zero opportunities, comply with new regulatory requirements, and meet growing climate commitments.  

Among the new solutions that Arabesque has announced include the Emissions+ Data Module, which provides a comprehensive picture of Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions by companies and the climate impact of their full operations and value chains. Also included in the suite is the new Green Revenue Module, which maps companies that are generating revenue for their businesses either partly or fully by green business models such as renewable energy.

Speaking about today’s announcement, Dr Daniel Klier, President of the Arabesque Group, said:

“Green pledges have been growing rapidly over the past year. With companies committing to the global net-zero transition, investors pledging green investment solutions, and regulators enforcing reporting requirements, expectations of delivering sustainable growth and investments have never been higher.”

“As Brussels unveils this week its proposals for a legislative framework to support the ambition of reaching net-zero by 2050, and as we approach COP26, the need to match climate pledges with tangible results is growing. Our new Climate and Regulatory Solutions can help clients navigate towards a net-zero future, better understand the increasing complexity of climate regulation, and identify new climate-based opportunities.”
