The study evaluated almost 9,000 listed companies from around the world. To calculate the so-called implied temperature rise per company, the financial services provider analysed data points such as CO2 reduction targets and emissions forecasts.
According to MSCI, only six of the 20 companies in the Swiss Market Index are currently in line with the 1.5°C target: Kühne+Nagel, Novartis, Roche, Swiss Re, Swisscom and Zurich.
