Harmony Energy Income Trust’s Path to Award-Winning Climate and Nature Disclosures
Driving excellence with integrated climate and nature risk management and disclosures.
The Situation
As an investor in battery energy storage systems (BESS) and renewable energy generation projects, Harmony Energy Income Trust (HEIT) sought to enhance its understanding, management, and disclosure of climate-and nature-related risks and opportunities. Based in the UK, HEIT’s business model supports and depends on a successful net-zero transition and thriving natural ecosystems, making climate and nature integral to the company’s strategy.
HEIT approached Anthesis for disclosure support in line with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) frameworks, as well as complementary reporting frameworks including the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).
Through the partnership, HEIT integrated both climate and nature into a single assessment report, reflecting their interconnectedness and importance to the company’s mission. With our deep technical expertise, HEIT was able to align its reporting with best practices and navigate the complexities of voluntary disclosure.
HEIT have a deeper understanding of climate-and nature-related risks and opportunities and won an AIC “Best ESG Communication” for their stakeholder communications.
