Data providers MSCI, Morningstar, Pathzero and S&P Global have partnered together to integrate public and private market climate data across institutional portfolios.Climate risk management platform Pathzero has announced it is working with leading data providers S&P Global Energy, MSCI and Morningstar Sustainalytics to enable institutional investors to access auditable climate data across both private and public markets in one secure platform.
Pathzero currently supports many of Australia’s largest superannuation funds and investment managers in managing private market financed emissions.
The collaboration positions Pathzero as the first Australian-founded platform offering whole-of-portfolio climate data integration tailored for global asset owners and managers, helping them meet IFRS S2 and AASB S2 reporting requirements and prepare for transition and physical risk assessments.
“Until now, asset owners and managers have faced fragmented data across portfolios,” said Carl Prins, CEO and co-founder of Pathzero.
“Financial institutions don’t just need more data – they need data they can trust, contextualised for how portfolios actually work,” he said.
“This collaboration means Pathzero becomes the single integration layer through which institutions can consolidate all their climate-related data for analysis and reporting.
“By integrating private and public market data, and enabling clients to ingest, organise, and report emissions across their portfolios, Pathzero gives asset owners and managers a single source of truth for a unified, scalable approach to climate risk management.”
The integration of S&P Global Energy, MSCI and Morningstar Sustainalytics data allows Pathzero to combine fund- and holdings-level data ingestion, company-reported private market disclosures from its engagement network of more than 550 fund managers, and public-market data from global providers within the ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2-certified Pathzero Library.
This combination of both private and public market data means investors can access a consolidated view of their entire portfolio’s climate risk through a single suite of tools, rather than multiple platforms.
Together with portfolio composition and reporting tools that group and analyse emissions across complex investment structures, including funds-of-funds, Pathzero said it can deliver a whole-of-portfolio view of financed emissions and climate exposure ready for audit, assurance and scenario analysis.
“Trucost Environmental, from the teams of S&P Global Energy, is unparalleled and provides the essential intelligence investors need to make decisions with confidence and clarity,” said Ben McKenna, strategy, partnerships & alliances at S&P Global Energy.
“We welcome this data-distribution collaboration with Pathzero and believe through the integration of S&P Global Energy’s leading climate data, asset owners can consolidate public and private market insights seamlessly, eliminate fragmented reporting, and meet AASB S2 and ISSB requirements with greater accuracy and efficiency.”
The announcement comes amid regulatory developments related to climate risk disclosure and the growing financial impact of climate change on assets, with physical and transition risks increasingly affecting investment outcomes.
Pathzero said its platform now helps institutions respond to both regulatory requirements and real-world financial risk by providing a consolidated, whole-of-portfolio view of climate exposure.
