London, Nice, Paris, SIngapore
Institutional context
Operating from campuses in Lille, Nice, Paris, London and Singapore, EDHEC Business School is ranked in the top ten European business schools. With more than 110 nationalities represented in its student body, some 50,000 alumni in 130 countries, and learning partnerships with 290 institutions worldwide, it is truly international.
EDHEC Business School has been recognised for over 20 years for its expertise in finance. Its 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. EDHEC has developed a significant research capacity on the financial measurement of climate risk, which relies on the best researchers in climate finance, and brings together experts in climate risks as well as in quantitative analysis.
The DNA of EDHEC's work has also resided, since its origin, in the ability to generate business ventures, by encouraging spin-offs based on the research work of its teams. EDHEC is currently involved in three ventures: Scientific Portfolio, Scientific Infra and Private Assets, and the soon-to-launch Scientific Climate Ratings.
Mission and ambitions
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. This includes making research outputs, publications, and data available in open source to maximise impact and accessibility.
The EDHEC Climate Institute gratefully acknowledges the support that the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has provided to its green infrastructure research.
