Sustainability Solutions

The climate crisis has brought practically every home and commercial property into a growing number of companies’ Scope 3 responsibilities. Institutions who finance or underwrite assets now have a responsibility to assess and reduce the impact that these properties have on the environment. They also need to price the future physical and transitional risk associated with their portfolios. Gamma Risk can help.
