Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

  • Lack of harmonized approaches to implementing ESG frameworks and best practices across APAC markets and institutions.
  • Challenges in understanding the fast-evolving climate change landscape, settling on the right strategies and methodologies, and accessing the data needed to assess ESG credentials.
  • Low data coverage for companies in the world’s two largest emitters (China and India).
  • Ambiguous or not ambitious enough national climate action plans regarding emission mitigation.
  • Challenges in accessing, assessing and managing ESG data.
  • Patchy quality of ESG data, especially in APAC EM.
Mitigation Strategies
  • Developing a firm-wide strategic direction that is likely to be a hybrid of prevailing ESG financing approaches (ESG integration, negative/exclusionary screening, corporate engagement, etc.).
  • Setting an emissions reduction target that follows a science-based decarbonization pathway.
  • Prioritizing climate action plans using business-specific KPIs and proper governance.
  • Establishing an ESG data hierarchy that encompasses both financial and non-financial activities to quantify ESG-related impacts and to guide data requirements gathering, sourcing and methodologies.
  • Improving data quality by making records of data quality scores and evaluating the need to improve data quality over time.
