The intended partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to developing transparent, innovative indices that draw on robust research and analytical frameworks to help our clients better invest for and through the low carbon transition.&#34;Thomas Bremner Bligaard, Executive Director, Planetrics, part of SLR, said:&#34;This collaboration with FTSE Russell reflects where the market needs to go, from acknowledging climate risk to actually pricing it. Our modelling captures a range of plausible futures, including physical shocks and uneven transitions across regions and sectors, then traces how costs, supply chains and competitive positions evolve at a company level. That granularity translates into portfolio signals precise enough to support better allocation decisions and stronger risk management.&#34;ENDSContactsLSEG Press Office Hayley Fewster / Simon Henrick +44 (0) 20 7797 1222 newsroom@lseg.com www.lseg.comAbout FTSE Russell, an LSEG businessFTSE Russell is a global index leader that provides innovative benchmarking, analytics and data solutions for investors worldwide.
