EDHEC Business School has been recognised for over 20 years for its expertise in finance. Our approach to climate finance is founded on a commitment to equipping finance professionals and decision-makers with the insights, tools, and solutions necessary to navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by climate change.
The EDHEC Climate Institute (ECI) focuses on helping private and public decision-makers manage climate-related financial risks and make the most of financial tools to support the transition to a low-emission economy that is more resilient to climate change.
It has a long track record as an independent and critical reference centre in helping long-term investors to understand and manage the financial implications of climate change on asset prices and the management of investments and climate action policies.
The institute has also developed an expertise in physical risks, developing proprietary research frameworks and innovative approaches. ECI is also conducting advanced research on climate transition risks, with a focus on supply chain emissions (Scope 3), consumer choices, and emerging technologies.
As part of its mission, ECI collaborates with academic partners, businesses, and financial players to establish targeted research partnerships.
