ERAFP launches tender for climate change risks evaluator

French public service additional pension scheme ERAFP has launched a tender for one or more consulting firms specialised in evaluating climate change risks and opportunities.

The purpose of the tender is to select one or more consulting firms specialised in evaluating climate change related risks and opportunities in order to measure the exposure of ERAFP’s portfolios.

The tasks will be divided into two lots, firstly, to measure the exposure of the fund’s equity and bond portfolios to climate change related risks and opportunities.

These will be based on indicators such as carbon footprint or contribution to the energy transition, of the following portfolios: European, North American, Pacific and French equities; international convertible bonds; EUR and USD denominated corporate bonds, and government bonds.

The second lot will be to assist ERAFP with the design of a methodology to measure and analyse exposure to climate change related challenges in the real estate, infrastructure and private equity portfolios. These portfolios’ exposure to climate change related challenges will then be evaluated based on the developed methodology.

The length of these contracts will be three years and those interested can find out more information here. The deadline for submissions is 12pm CET on 30 November 2016.
