Case Study: a globally significant financial institution improves climate-related credit risk assessment with S&P Global Market Intelligence Climate Credit Analytics

A Globally Significant Financial Institution Improves its Capabilities to Assess Climate-Related Credit Risks

S&P Global worked with Global Financial Company, a globally significant financial institution, to strengthen its ability to assess climate-related credit risk. The bank needed a reliable challenger model for climate stress testing, better ways to evaluate transition risk across corporate and SME loan portfolios, and a unified approach for linking internal and external data while meeting regulatory requirements.

S&P Global’s Market Intelligence team implemented Climate Credit Analytics, combining climate scenario analysis with proprietary financial, emissions, and credit data, plus APIs and cross-reference tools for easier data integration. The solution helped Global Financial Company challenge its internal models with transparent methodology, perform portfolio-wide stress tests, improve workflows, and support audit- and regulator-ready analysis, though the case study does not cite specific financial impact figures.
