The aim of this report is to take a closer look at the different consumer loan types and assess how and in what way climate indicators could be found to benchmark these investments similarly against different climate scenarios.
The report will mobilize the existing approaches for portfolio analysis, all of which can be transferred and adapted to consumer loans. The discussed methodologies are:
- Carbon footprinting: A cross-loan assessment of exposure to GHG emissions
- Green/brown metrics: A loan specific metric to distinguish between activities and
technologies that are climate solutions and climate problems. - Climate (ESG) scores: Qualitative indicators provided by ESG (environment, social and governance) analysis based on quantitative and qualitative indicators such as carbon footprints and green/brown metrics.
