Measuring what matters: Looking beyond the numbers

In assessing energy transition risk in banks, what’s easiest to measure isn’t always what matters most. Aggregate fossil fuel financing is often used as a clear and intuitive gauge – but relying on this measure in isolation could obscure risk, behaviour and impact.

We believe judgement and sustained engagement are essential tools to help navigate uncertainty and drive real-world impact.
