Portfolio as a Service
Assess, manage and mitigate risk across your carbon portfolio
Portfolio as a Service (PaaS) helps companies proactively identify, manage and mitigate risks that could damage and/or invalidate their carbon projects, by offering upfront insurance-driven risk assessment, liquidity management and transparent reporting.
For companies concerned about the permanence of their carbon purchasing criteria and portfolio composition, PaaS reduces operating costs and improves outcomes.
PaaS helps companies engaging in the Voluntary Carbon Market by:
providing consistent insurance-driven risk assessment across each project in your portfolio and pipeline, enabling 'like for like' comparisons;
reducing reputational risk via third party risk assessment by a regulated insurance company, demonstrating robust due diligence; and
facilitating compliance with evolving requirements within the VCM and wider regulatory bodies.
Portfolio as a Service - How it works:
Four stages to ensure alignment, efficiency and function, following best practice portfolio management from traditional financial services
Risk Advisory - Portfolio-wide risk assessment, permanence scoring, scenario analyses and risk assessment framework
Criteria Check - Project-level assessment to determine whether a specific carbon project meets the company's purchasing criteria
Risk Assessment - Project-level risk assessment, utilising insurance quality underwriting criteria
Risk Reporting and Management - Ongoing risk and liquidity management, with regular transparent reporting
Benefits of PaaS:
PaaS is quickly implementable and adaptable to ensure ongoing alignment with market requirements.
PaaS services can scale up or down based on "credits under management", for example in the areas of liquidity management, reporting and technology alignment.
PaaS follows established norms in the wider financial markets to enable predictability of process to our client and its stakeholders.
