Between 2021 and 2025, 19 European banks provided US$30.3 billion to metallurgical coal developers in Australia’s Bowen Basin. This report highlights the inconsistency of banks restricting thermal coal while funding metallurgical coal expansion. It recommends extending exclusion policies to metallurgical projects and corporate financing to align with climate goals.

This report provides an action plan for stock exchanges to integrate nature-related considerations into capital markets. It outlines a framework—establish, activate, enable, and educate—to help market participants manage dependencies and risks while mobilising capital for nature-positive outcomes and resilient economies.

This study examines how US transition climate policy risks affect stock market returns and volatility. Utilising textual analysis and GARCH-X models, it reveals that these policies often lack credibility, negatively impacting clean energy firms while favouring carbon-intensive ones. Effective climate transition requires more robust, credible policy frameworks.

This guide details a goals-based approach to investing and philanthropy, viewing capital as a tool for intrinsic value. It presents a strategic cycle to identify, plan, and evolve goals through focused structures and coherent decision-making, enabling investors to transition from vague intentions to advanced, high-impact strategies.

This report proposes Climate Investment Prospectuses to connect Nationally Determined Contributions 3.0 with private capital. It explains how National Transition Plans and standardised documentation can bridge communication gaps, identify investable pipelines, and mobilise transition finance at scale, particularly for emerging markets and developing economies.

This report explores diverse global models of worker participation in corporate governance. It finds that mandatory and exercisable rights drive higher engagement than voluntary systems. While established in Europe and growing in China, the technology sector remains an exception. Support spans the political spectrum and includes major institutional investors.

This TISFD discussion paper examines the pathways through which inequality affects societal, macroeconomic, and financial systems. It identifies twenty-seven private sector drivers and provides a four-stage pathway to help businesses and investors assess system-level risks and opportunities, particularly those amplified by artificial intelligence and climate change.

This research briefing examines Boeing's systemic governance failures, tracing the transition from engineering excellence to short-term financialisation. It analyses how misaligned incentives, weak board oversight, and marginalised worker voices obscured operational risks. The report advocates for multi-stakeholder governance and institutionalising worker voice to manage long-term systemic risks.

This research examines how investors can move beyond policy-based assessments to identify modern slavery risks. It introduces Schroders' risk model and Shift's business model red flags to address structural vulnerabilities and supply chain opacity, helping investors protect long-term value through targeted engagement and improved data disclosure.

The Traceability Tools Navigator, developed by Preferred by Nature and WWF, allows users to compare digital tools for supply chain monitoring. It provides a standardised framework to evaluate traceability and risk assessment capabilities for forest-risk commodities.

Sustainable funds reached a record $4.24 trillion AUM in 1H 2026, outperforming traditional peers with a 4.9% median return. While global inflows reached $37.7 billion, they trailed traditional funds. Strong equity performance drove results, particularly in the Americas and APAC, though second-quarter momentum slowed across most regions.

This research establishes a framework for assessing physical nature-related financial risks through scenario-based analysis. It highlights that nature loss, particularly water-related risks, creates significant macro-criticality for economies, with potentially 7-9% of global GDP at risk. The paper provides building blocks for central banks to prioritise and mitigate these systemic risks.

This research introduces a materiality-weighted carbon footprint to assess financial transition risk more accurately. Unlike total carbon footprints, this rules-based approach focuses on emissions subject to business and policy pressure. Analysis demonstrates that materiality-weighted metrics provide stronger signals for earnings growth, equity outperformance, and credit risk across global markets.

This report details findings from the FCA’s Early and High Growth Oversight pilot, which engaged 15 firms across the asset management, wealth management, and payments sectors. It identifies good and poor practices in governance, risk management, and financial resilience, providing guidance for firms to ensure sustainable and compliant growth.

Climate change is an immediate macro-financial force reshaping global markets. Using a quantitative framework, this research demonstrates that a 3°C warming scenario could increase the equity risk premium by 15–25% and temporarily depress real risk-free rates. It highlights structural implications for long-duration asset valuations and global financial stability.

This briefing evaluates the economic feasibility of e-petrol for passenger vehicles in Europe. It finds that e-petrol will cost approximately four times more than fossil fuels by 2030, making it unaffordable for most drivers compared to battery-electric alternatives. The report recommends prioritising e-fuels for aviation and shipping instead.
