The Directory of IGCC Service Provider Members is a resource designed to help institutional investors navigate the complex landscape of physical climate risk assessment. By profiling specialised service providers, the directory facilitates the translation of climate data into actionable financial insights. Finance professionals can use this resource to identify partners capable of quantifying potential climate-related impacts on infrastructure and investment portfolios.

Organisation behind the tool

The tool is maintained by the Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC), a collaboration of Australian and New Zealand institutional investors focused on the impact of climate change on financial markets and the economy.

What the tool does

The directory functions as a curated database of service providers that offer technical expertise in climate risk. Key features include:

• Identification of organisations capable of conducting defensible physical climate risk assessments.
• Access to specialised firms that provide data for infrastructure-specific risk modelling.
• Guidance on selecting partners to help meet investor expectations for climate disclosure.
• Information on service providers that bridge the gap between scientific climate models and investment decision-making.

Target audience

The primary audience includes institutional investors, asset owners, and fund managers within the Australian and New Zealand markets. It is also relevant for sustainability consultants, risk officers, and infrastructure project developers.
