Market operator and data provider Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) has unveiled a climate data and analytics service in partnership with Dun & Bradstreet (D&B), a business information supplier. The new offering will provide transition risk data, including Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions, and physical risk data on tens of millions of public and private companies globally. “By combining D&B’s business intelligence, supply-chain and asset location data with ICE’s geospatial and climate capabilities, and leveraging ICE’s distribution channels, this new service will offer the broader investment community a single source of climate data for virtually all business entities globally,” said Chris Edmonds, President of ICE’s Fixed Income and Data Services. The new service will combine D&B’s large private company database, as well as its proprietary utility spend, shipping and supply-chain datasets, with ICE’s geospatial intelligence platform and climate data models. The latter includes multi-asset class transition emissions and physical climate data on over 110 million US properties, global public companies, municipalities, and more than 4.2 million fixed-income securities across corporates, municipals, sovereigns and mortgage-backed securities. “Utilising the Dun & Bradstreet D-U-N-S Number allows us to bring many sources of data together that are already deeply embedded in the business and investment communities, while allowing for smooth integration into existing workflows,” said Ginny Gomez, President of Dun & Bradstreet in North America. The data solution will be part of ICE Climate, which provides data and analytics that help quantify investment impacts posed by transition and physical climate risks, such as extreme weather events.
