Asset Risk Exposure Analytics (AREA)
Locating risk, unlocking value
AREA provides a transformative solution for understanding asset-level corporate exposure to global climate, environmental, human rights and political risks, giving you full visibility of your portfolio’s risk and sustainability profile.
Who is it for?
-
Portfolio managers
AREA enables portfolio managers to see and measure systematic political and other non-financial risks before they impact returns. They can identify trends and compare the risk profiles of organisations across whole portfolios, so they can better optimise investment decisions and strategies.
-
Responsible investment practitioners
AREA helps responsible investors and stewardship and engagement analysts, who have had to rely on self-reported ESG performance metrics and reactive controversy data up until now, to proactively understand corporate exposure, dependencies and potential impacts for key issues, including climate, nature and human rights, to facilitate more targeted, impactful stewardship and engagement.
-
Banks
AREA provides E&S and risk teams with spatially derived scores and metrics that can be used for transaction-level due diligence and portfolio risk management and reporting. AREA’s risk scores support with meeting disclosure requirements and are aligned with TCFD, SFDR, TNFD, and OECD guidelines as well as the UNGPs.
What we offer
Combining the locations of 4 million+ corporate assets with industry-leading, geospatial risk data, Asset Risk Exposure Analytics (AREA) feature 85 individual risk issues that are mapped down to subnational levels. AREA has been specifically developed to reveal hidden vulnerabilities and strengths in the global operations of publicly listed companies worldwide and provides you with an entirely new way of assessing the sustainability and resilience of the organisations you invest in.
The key advantage of this approach is that you can assess companies against all these risks in one place using a consistent scoring framework. To provide an extra layer of granularity, 50 of the issues covered in AREA also draw on our Industry Risk Dataset to provide a weighted, sector-by-sector view of risk, all of which is available through an API.
