Altiorem Weekly - 8 November 2026
Research explores the transition from climate adaptation classification to active capital allocation and the financial exposure of bond issuers to the 2026 Indonesian forest fires. It analyses the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s new regulatory framework for ESG rating providers and systemic failures in corporate efforts to eradicate modern slavery. Further reports investigate the impact of Spanish wildfires on securitisation and the financial materiality of social risks for technology hyperscalers.
Beyond the power plant: The hidden costs of gas-fired generation
This report examines understated infrastructure costs supporting new gas-fired power plants. Driven by data centre growth, these "hidden" expenses for pipelines and storage often represent 30% of capital spending. It recommends integrated regulatory oversight and unified cost tests to ensure transparency and protect ratepayers from stranded-asset risks.
The European Union's automotive sector needs a plan, not undue protection
This report analyses the EU automotive sector's challenges from electrification and Chinese competition. It argues against protectionist local-content requirements, recommending structural reforms, a negotiated trade agreement with China, and leveraging foreign investment to facilitate industry adjustment, ensuring long-term competitiveness while maintaining an ambitious pace of decarbonisation.
The state of ESG 2026
Malk Partners’ fourth annual report examines ESG trends across private markets in 2026. It identifies a disconnect where strong LP and GP ambitions face capacity constraints at the portfolio-company level. Key themes include the growth of Responsible AI, decarbonisation strategies, and shifting regulatory landscapes in the US and Europe.
