Ortec Finance ESG statement

Environmental

We enable financial institutions to integrate climate change and ESG driven financial risks and opportunities into investment decision-making. We quantify future extreme weather events and financial impacts in a changing climate and enable alignment of your investment portfolio with the Paris Agreement.
Our operations will be net-zero by 2024. We will reduce CO₂ emissions as much as possible and compensate for any remaining use. To ensure that this objective is concrete, measurable and actionable, we engaged Ekwadraat in 2022. Ekwadraat is a specialized company that has helped to formulate, execute, and monitor our sustainability policy. The total footprint of Ortec Finance falls within Scope 3 of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. In 2022, Ortec Finance’s total emissions were equivalent to 598-tonnes CO₂. Becoming net-zero by 2024 was considered ambitious but feasible and we are fully committed to achieving this objective.
We engage with our stakeholders and other companies to drive sustainability efforts addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Ortec Finance is a signatory of the United Nations PRI.
