Persefoni and First Street Announce Partnership launching joint Climate Physical Risk Solution in the Persefoni Platform

New collaboration enhances enterprise climate reporting and compliance efficiency

TEMPE, Ariz., June 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Persefoni, a leading Climate Management & Accounting Platform (CMAP) for enterprises and financial institutions; and First Street, the standard for physical climate risk data, are pleased to announce a market-leading partnership to integrate First Street's advanced physical risk management capabilities directly into a new offering within the Persefoni platform, offering enterprises a seamless way to access location-based climate risk data for their assets.

In today's global regulatory landscape, enterprises will soon be required to report physical climate risk information to comply with standards set by the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission, California's SB 261, CSRD, and various other global governing bodies. This partnership is designed not only to save organizations time but also to enhance the accuracy of these reports, providing enterprises with a robust tool for comprehensive disclosure and reporting preparation.

The initial product will offer property specific physical risk data for U.S.-based assets with a subsequent release for global, non-U.S., asset coverage. The product will be available to purchase in Q4 2024. Most Persefoni customers will be able to purchase and use this new set of capabilities with little to no implementation work needed as they will already have the necessary data available to take advantage of this new set of analytics.

"Persefoni's commitment to product innovation is unwavering, acknowledged by esteemed research entities and valued by global partners. Integrating First Street's physical risk data into our platform marks a pivotal stride towards our mission: crafting unparalleled carbon and climate solutions.
