First Norwegian company with a Shades of Green Assessment from CICERO
4.6.2020 13:05:51 CEST | Entra ASA | Additional regulated information required
to be disclosed under the laws of a member state
Entra is the first company in Norway to have its revenues, assets and governance
structure evaluated on a scale from dark green to dark brown according to the
new Shades of Green methodology.
Norway's foremost institute for interdisciplinary climate research CICERO Center
for Climate Research has in cooperation with its subsidiary company CICERO
Shades of Green ("CICERO") expanded the Shades of Green methodology for
evaluating green bonds to also include companies. The methodology is based on a
solid quantitative and qualitative analysis of a company's entire business,
where both revenues and investments are classified with a shade of green (or
brown) depending on how they align with a carbon-neutral future. CICERO has also
evaluated the company's sustainability strategy, governance structure and
climate risk adaptation.
Entra is deeply committed to contribute to the transition towards a low carbon
society. The enclosed report shows that more than half of Entra's revenues and
more than half of Entra's assets achieve green color shades as of today. All of
Entra's new-build projects are considered dark green, which means that new
investments are in line with a future low-emission society. According to the
CICERO report, Entra achieves the best score on climate-related governance
structure and on reporting routines and standards.
- Environmental leadership has been an integrated part of Entra's strategy for
many years. We work targeted to reduce our climate impact and to secure and
develop our business model to meet future climate requirements and risks. In our
opinion, CICERO Shade of Green's methodology provides investors and other
stakeholders with a solid and transparent basis for assessing companies'
sustainability work and position across industries, says CEO of Entra - Sonja
Horn.
Methodology developed in close co-operation with leading financial institutions
The development of the Shades of Green methodology is funded by ENOVA and has
been developed by CICERO in close dialogue with leading financial institutions
such as amongst others Oslo Pensjonsforsikring, Nysnø and Sparebank1. The
methodology sets out relevant climate-related KPI's which can be followed-up
over time. The indicators are the same for all companies within a sector. A
company report according to the CICERO Shades of Green methodology monitors:
* The level of green revenues and investments
* The company's sustainability strategy and climate adaptation
* Management and adaptation to climate risks
* Use of climate scenarios and compliance with the Task Force on
Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)
* Possible adaptation to the EU taxonomy for sustainable finance
The CICERO/ CICERO Shades of Green report is enclosed.
