00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:04.560
Climate action is a

2
00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:05.920
boardroom agenda item

3
00:00:05.920 --> 00:00:10.040
for today's corporate leaders,
and financial institutions are positioned

4
00:00:10.040 --> 00:00:13.000
to be catalysts
for achieving net zero globally.

5
00:00:14.600 --> 00:00:16.040
With their ability to direct

6
00:00:16.040 --> 00:00:16.880
capital flows

7
00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:21.000
into sustainable economic activities,
and away from unsustainable ones,

8
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.800
they have tremendous leverage for reducing
carbon emissions from industry.

9
00:00:25.040 --> 00:00:29.640
To be able to push effectively
for climate action, financial institutions

10
00:00:29.680 --> 00:00:33.040
first need transparency
on their portfolio’s carbon footprint.

11
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:36.960
Yet fewer than 3% of large corporations

12
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:39.840
today publish their emissions data. Why?

13
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:42.480
They simply don't have the data.

14
00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:45.480
To solve this problem
for financial institutions,

15
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:48.920
we have developed CO2 FI by BCG.

16
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:53.720
This tool provides the financial
sector—including banks, asset managers,

17
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:57.880
insurance companies, and principal
investors and private equity—

18
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:01.640
the transparency
they need to make investment

19
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:04.680
decisions that promote carbon reduction.

20
00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:09.280
CO2 FI by BCG follows a cascading logic,

21
00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:13.880
using the best information available
from more than 50 data sources, to provide

22
00:01:13.880 --> 00:01:17.840
carbon accounting, data on net-zero
alignment and business impact

23
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:20.040
simulation for financial institutions.

24
00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:24.440
It brings combined analytics and strategy
capabilities together

25
00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:28.320
with a huge network of BCG industry
and climate experts,

26
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:30.200
to help you estimate the carbon

27
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.320
footprint of each individual company
or physical asset in your portfolio.

28
00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:38.960
Getting a full view of your climate action
journey, monitoring progress,

29
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:43.800
and operationalizing carbon reduction
targets effectively are all imperative.

30
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:45.640
Our teams

31
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:48.520
can help you create your CO₂
reduction roadmap

32
00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:52.760
by identifying key sectors and business
units for decarbonization

33
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.960
through our tool’s customizable
scenario analysis capabilities.

34
00:01:58.600 --> 00:02:00.360
CO2 FI's AI

35
00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:03.240
core has a dedicated approach
for each asset type,

36
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.120
using more than 100 analytics models.

37
00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:10.400
It facilitates
multiple use cases for incorporating

38
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:14.120
emissions measurements
into core banking processes, thus

39
00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:18.840
steering investments to sustainable
or potentially sustainable businesses.

40
00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:23.000
For energy production companies,
for example, it uses global data

41
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:26.360
on the individual plant level
to understand the technology mix,

42
00:02:26.760 --> 00:02:30.520
then employs granular
utilization rates and emission factors

43
00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:33.400
to obtain a highly accurate emissions
footprint.

44
00:02:33.720 --> 00:02:37.760
And CO2 FI's monitoring and tracking
capabilities enable you

45
00:02:37.760 --> 00:02:41.680
to assess portfolio company progress
and adapt as necessary.

46
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:47.720
CO2 FI also calculates physical emissions
intensities and compares them

47
00:02:47.720 --> 00:02:52.200
with established decarbonization pathways
to determine the net-zero gap.

48
00:02:53.320 --> 00:02:56.240
With CO2 FI, investors can get carbon

49
00:02:56.240 --> 00:03:00.080
footprint breakdowns of industries,
countries, and legal entities.

50
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.320
Its sector viewer enables a deep dive
for emission-intensive industries

51
00:03:04.320 --> 00:03:06.960
to determine the best path
to decarbonization.

52
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.760
Our tool also enables you
to drill down at the level

53
00:03:10.760 --> 00:03:14.760
of individual counterparties as well.

54
00:03:14.760 --> 00:03:19.720
CO2 FI's tested, proven approach
has enabled financial institutions

55
00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:24.800
to jumpstart their progress towards
net zero, providing emission estimates

56
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:28.680
for the 80%-90% of the counterparties
in their portfolios

57
00:03:28.920 --> 00:03:31.320
that still have no reported data.

58
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:35.600
Be a catalyst for financing net zero

59
00:03:35.640 --> 00:03:38.000
with CO2 FI.
