Case Study: a leading australian superannuation company charts a path to net zero with S&P Global Sustainable1

A Super Fund Charts Its Path to Net Zero

A leading Australian superannuation company committed to achieving a net zero portfolio by 2050 faced a significant challenge. Its ESG team lacked the extensive data and analytical tools needed to understand its current carbon footprint, assess climate-related risks, and chart a realistic path forward. To address this, they contacted S&P Global Sustainable1 to explore solutions for evaluating carbon intensity, transition risks, and physical climate hazards.

S&P Global implemented its comprehensive Trucost suite of data and analytics to address these challenges. The solution provided the fund with critical capabilities, including carbon footprint benchmarking, carbon earnings at risk analysis, asset-level physical risk assessment, and Paris Agreement alignment tracking. As a result, the superannuation company gained the data-driven insights necessary to align its investments with its net zero target and credibly report on its progress, leading it to subscribe to the full suite of S&P Global's offerings.
