Where and how do you source your data?
Asset location data is drawn from numerous proprietary and public databases to search company names, trading names and subsidiaries, including both owned and leased operational assets worldwide. An extensive data grooming and Quality Assurance process follows to assess confidence in the resulting dataset. Hazard risk data based on two climate change scenarios are generated with XDI’s Climate Risk Engines, which downscale global climate models into regional models, and combine with localized ancillary data (e.g. topography, elevation). To translate the physical climate risk metrics into financial losses, key financial metrics are used sourced from Morningstar’s financial report databases of standardized company financial reports.
