S&P Trucost publishes report Connecting the dots: Energy transition scenarios and credit quality based on The CO-Firm’s modelling results
This report is a part of the Energy Transition (ET) Risks project (funded by the European Commission). Based on The CO-Firm’s scenario analysis results, Trucost explores the impact on credit models and company’s credit quality. Trucost finds that if transition challenges are not addressed properly, worse credit implications are the consequence. The credit implications calculations are based on climateXcellence modelling results showing financial performance on companies in different sectors under various climate transition and company adaptation pathways.
