Ethical Marketing News, a leading UK based news resource for marketers, highlighted the launch of Scientific Climate Ratings (SCR), the first agency fully dedicated to quantifying the financial materiality of climate risk.

The report featured the agency’s coverage that offers more than 6,000 infrastructure assets that are accessible for free, and its scientific tools leveraging high-resolution geospatial data, proprietary climate risk models, and established financial valuation frameworks.

It outlined the two complementary ratings designed for a holistic picture on the financial impact of climate risk:

• The Potential Climate Exposure Ratings (PCER) assess exposure to future climate risks under a “continuity” scenario — reflecting the most likely pathway based on today’s global policies and trends. They provide consistent, transparent, comparable ratings from A (least exposed) to G (most exposed).
• The Effective Climate Risk Ratings (ECRR) estimate the financial impact of climate risks through 2035 and 2050 by applying probabilities to multiple climate scenarios. These ratings also range from A to G and include a quantified dollar impact, expressed in Net Asset Value (NAV) terms — giving all stakeholders a shared, actionable financial metric.
