Morningstar Sustainalytics
Morningstar Sustainalytics pairs its global ESG research, ratings and risk data with a dedicated climate suite covering physical risk, low-carbon transition and net-zero alignment for investors and lenders. Its Physical Climate Risk Metrics assess acute and chronic hazards — floods, wildfires, extreme heat, drought and coastal inundation — across a stated twelve-million-plus asset locations, capturing direct and value-chain exposure and translating them into financial impact under IPCC scenarios; public methodology pages outline the underlying data and logic. It complements this with carbon, transition and emerging nature analytics. Distinctive for embedding climate risk within one of the larger ESG rating and research franchises.
Vendor methodology
Public transparency, not model quality iThe Transparency Score (0–3) estimates public methodological transparency: the degree to which the vendor's analytical approach to modeling climate and nature risk can be assessed from publicly available sources. It is explicitly not a measure of vendor quality or accuracy.
Product-level: public materials indicate risk scope and outputs, but little detail on modeling approach.
Product-level: the public Physical Climate Risk Metrics material is a methodology abstract (plus brochure, guide, sample report); the full methodology is not public, and the underlying model is XDI's. No public, reconstructable method for the catalogued product.
