Climate ALIGN monitors portfolio alignment with net-zero emissions by 2050
Climate ALIGN helps financial institutions assess the temperature alignment of current emissions reduction targets, commitments, investment portfolios, and lending portfolios.
Currently Available: Climate ALIGN Version 1.0
We now offer the Science Based Target initiative’s (SBTi) open source Temperature Scoring and Portfolio Coverage Tool ‘as a service’. We currently cover listed equity, corporate debt, sovereign debt & real-estate.
The approach is based on the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) open source Temperature Scoring and Portfolio Coverage Tool. Ortec Finance, together with Open Source Climate (OS-C) are the original developers of the open source code base.

- Consistently monitor progress against set targets
- Develop engagement strategies
- Help with strategic security selection and allocation decisions
- Showcase net-zero alignment leadership
