Description
Carbon Neutral Pioneers Initiative
As regulatory and industry pressures mount, investors are increasingly asking how to manage carbon risk in their portfolios. Our Carbon Risk Assessments assess a company's carbon risks, driven by the transition to a low-carbon economy. The Carbon Offering contains risk and impact data to enable institutional investors to make informed investment decisions in relation to climate change.
Our solutions :
Carbon risk assessments
Our Carbon Risk Assessments assess a company's carbon risks, driven by the transition to a low-carbon economy. The ratings are determined by assessing a company's material exposure to and management of carbon issues.
Carbon footprint report :
For companies, organizations, products and projects
Using the Greenhouse Gas Protocol methodology, the Arab world's largest team of experts, academics and consultants works together to inventory Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 greenhouse gases and provide a report that complies with the European ESRS E1 disclosure requirements and is compatible with the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and disclosure reports. Global climate risk assessment in accordance with IFRS-S2 to meet the needs of exporters
Share carbon solutions
Carbon Neutral Pioneers Initiative examines company involvement in carbon solutions, including renewable energy and low carbon alternatives, such as green transportation, green real estate and energy efficiency
Fossil Fuel Involvement
We assess different types of company involvement in fossil fuels, including thermal coal, oil and gas, oil sands, shale energy, deep water production and Arctic offshore exploration.
Stranded Carbon Assets Research
We evaluate the risk of oil and gas assets becoming non-commercial due to the transition to a low carbon economy. Exposure includes life-cycle carbon intensity of production and proven reserves as well as involvement in high-cost projects.
Engagement Services
Our Engagement Service offering also includes thematic engagements on climate change and voting recommendations on ESG and climate-related topics.
Key Benefits
Breadth and Scope
Coverage includes reported and estimated data on Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions for GHG PROTOCOL , from shale energy to thermal coal

Low Carbon Transition Ratings
Align your portfolio to a net-zero pathway
Mandatory climate-related financial disclosure is becoming a universal reality, with more governments around the world adopting the recommendations and after its approval through IOSCO and recognition by G20, G7 and FSB of the ISSB Standards Disclosures (IFRS-S1,and IFRS-S2) and other leading expert groups. In parallel, companies are setting targets and developing strategies to do their part in meeting the global objective of minimizing global warming to 1.5°C by 2050.

The head of the initiative and the owner of the intellectual property rights for this global initiative, Ambassador Mostafa Elsayed Sherbiny Elsayed, is an international expert in sustainability and climate risk assessment.
This initiative provides services and aims to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement with the aim of serving the community and is not for profit
An elite group of Egyptian experts and scientists participated in launching the Carbon Neutrality Pioneers Initiative, headed by Ambassador Mostafa Sherbiny, international expert in sustainability and climate risk assessment and head of the Scientific Chair for Carbon Footprint and Sustainability at ALECSO - League of Arab States, who was awarded by the European Commission as European Climate Pact Ambassador in Egypt in February 2022. He also issued a guide to carbon neutrality, which consists of two parts.
Given the requirements of ISSB, investors will have access to a much broader spectrum of information about a company and its climate related risks and opportunities that will help them to understand and adjust to uncertainty related to climate change. Specifically, ISSB requires companies to explain the resilience of their strategy and business model to both physical and transition risks and opportunities. To achieve this, ISSB mandates that companies conduct climate-related scenario analysis to evaluate their climate resilience. This analysis should use a suitable method, appropriate for their circumstances considering their exposure to climate-related risks and opportunities, as well as the skills, capabilities and resources that are available at the time of reporting. Companies will have to determine their approach to climate-related scenario analysis based on all reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort and take into account both the choice of inputs and the analytical decisions made when conducting the analysis
Carbon Neutrality Leaders Initiative Low Carbon Transition Ratings
Our comprehensive framework measures how different a company's projected greenhouse gas emissions are from its net zero path between now and 2050. Measures an issuer's exposure to projected emissions
The high-level disclosure requirements set by the ISSB are:
Governance: What policies and plans has the organization put in place to address climate-related risks proactively and reactively?
Strategy: How does the organization address climate-related risks and opportunities in its future business plans? Companies must report how they expect material and transitional risks to impact operations, cash flow, business model, etc. In the short, medium and long term. Other considerations include the impact of change on the business value chain, financial planning, and organizational resilience.
Climate-related risk management, assessment and management? Companies will need to define their operations and disclose how these risks and opportunities are taken into account in the overall management process.
Metrics and targets: How does the organization measure, monitor and manage climate-related risks and opportunities over time by GHG PROTOCOL? It should include details on Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions, as well as information on the internal carbon price. The
ISSB's climate disclosures standard, IFRS-S2, will benefit the entire investment ecosystem, from issuers, to investors
Building the capabilities of companies to remove carbon by providing them with consultations to reduce the carbon footprint through sustainable practices in renewable energy and the efficiency of water, fuel and chemicals consumption in agriculture. The use of organic alternatives and the use of equipment that consumes low energy. Training company officials to reduce the carbon footprint by raising the level of awareness.

To support investors and issuers in meeting their new reporting obligations, the Carbon Neutrality Pioneers Initiative offers a range of climate solutions. Contact us to discuss how we can help you assess your climate resilience and transition needs.
Analyze low carbon transition exposure and management readiness across the business value chain for each emissions range.
Analysis of expected emissions from exporters against the desired 1.5°C policy scenario*
Our low carbon transition assessments are based on bottom-up scenario analysis, assessing companies' emissions trajectories against projected regional policies and technology trajectories required to meet the Paris Agreement and net-zero ambitions by 2050. Additional scenarios are available for further analysis. development.
*The 1.5°C Required Policy Scenario (RPS) is taken from the Imperative Policy Response (IPR) commissioned by the UN PRI Foundation.
Investor Support (IFRS-S1 and IFRS-S2 - CSRD for ESRS - TNFD) Reporting and Evaluation of Issuer Disclosure
Combined with our solutions for physical climate risk metrics and carbon emissions data, our low carbon transition ratings enable investors to meet most IFRS-S1 and IFRS-S2 recommendations. In addition, investors receive a detailed assessment of IFRS-S1 and IFRS-S2 disclosure in relation to the quality of their management across each IFRS-S1 subject area. And the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS-S2).
The expected impact is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and net greenhouse gas emissions by 2060-2070 to keep global warming to within 1.5 percent, noting that a proper understanding of the potential contributions of natural and technological CO2 removal would support the call. Bringing about a radical shift in production and consumption patterns. Accelerating the achievement of sustainable development goals.
