(657) Carbon Transition Analytics & Carbon Tracker: Measuring Transition: AMNS
Carbon Transition Analytics & Carbon Tracker: Measuring Transition: AMNS
(https://carbontransitionanalytics.com/research-analysis/amns-company-report/)
To attract transition and concessional financing, Indian steel companies will need to produce credible transition plans. This report is the fourth in a series of company-focused assessments on the transition performance of the Indian steel majors.
While steel production is vital for India’s development goals, limited access to raw materials, natural gas, and steel scrap makes it difficult to scale without deploying carbon-intensive technologies. This strategy poses a threat to company CO2 targets and could impact future profitability.
In this report, we analyse the state and outlook for AMNS (ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India) in its strategy to grow steel capacity to 40 Mtpa in India by 2035 while reducing CO2 intensity.
Key insights from the report include:
- AMNS does not have a net zero target – Insofar as AMNS does not specify a net zero target year, it does not have net zero target. Its CO2 goals align with India’s NDC, but only if its net zero target is assumed for 2070 or earlier.
- Limited access to carbon storage sinks for CCS – With most of AMNS’ proposed greenfield capacity situated in the east, the company is unlikely to gain timely access to carbon sinks.
- Capacity plans risk nearly double target emissions – AMNS’ plans entail around 60 Mtpa of BF-BOF capacity by the early 2040s, which could exceed its target carbon budget by nearly 100%.
- Capacity plans incompatible with India NDC – Even in the most optimistic CCS scenario, CO2 emissions from AMNS’ capacity plans would overshoot the sectoral budget as storage access arrives too late.
- Future projects carry high risk of carbon lock-in – Of an estimated US$68bn of future project capital, 75% falls into the high-risk category for carbon lock-in.
- Tangible steps towards optimised transition plan – To stay within a 2070 net zero carbon budget, AMNS can install no more than 4-5 new blast furnaces, yet it has up to 12 in the pipeline. Reconsidering its 24Mtpa Kendrapara project could avoid lock-in from 5 BFs.
- Options to reduce CBAM exposure – While CBAM tariffs could amount to a 33% cost penalty on EU exports in 2030, and 66% in 2034, AMNS can reduce this by focusing exports from its natural gas based DR-EAF capacity at Hazira.

BNP Paribas AM: Reassessing sustainability and investing in defence
Sustainable investors have typically avoided investments in defence. Geopolitical developments, and the evolution of a more nuanced view of what matters for sustainability, have now brought the sector into focus: sustainability criteria and investing in defence can be aligned as autonomy, resilience and security emerge as key investment themes, writes Sindhu Janakiram.

(503) Morningstar Equity Research: Climate change vs softening reinsurance market
Morningstar Equity Research: Climate change vs softening reinsurance market
(https://www.morningstar.com/en-uk/business/insights/research/european-reinsurance)
While Climate Change Could Drive Reinsurance Volume Long-Term, Softening of Reinsurance Market Is More Important Medium-Term
The expectation is that climate change will likely drive reinsurer volumes in the long term. However, the reinsurance market is currently at overcapacity, setting the stage for softer conditions in the medium term.
The capacity has led to a shift in the reinsurance cycle that is now in full swing, and this can be seen in individual reinsurer risk-adjusted prices and the Guy Carpenter rate online.
Prices are being affected the most in property excess of loss—natural catastrophe. Scor probably has the lowest exposure and should provide investors with the best returns.

Key findings:
- Hurricane-exposed firms significantly underperformed, with effects compounding up to 30 business days post-event.
- Tail risk increased: The lowest-performing firms continued to decline over the 36-day study window.
- Concentrated exposures worsened underperformance versus diversified footprints.
Utilities were most vulnerable, while IT and industrial companies suffered mainly when critical or concentrated assets were exposed. - Adaptation strategies helped reduce performance declines.

(460) Goldman Sachs: Hybrid Adoption to Rise as Electric Vehicle Momentum Slows
Goldman Sachs: Hybrid Adoption to Rise as Electric Vehicle Momentum Slows
- Hybrid vehicles are gaining favor among US drivers, and their market share is projected to increase as North American sales of electric vehicles (EVs) are forecast to decelerate.
- The easing of US fuel economy rules and the elimination of tax credits for EV purchases prompted Goldman Sachs Research to cut its forecasts for EV market penetration.
- Margins for North American operations may be 2 to 3 percentage points higher than previously assumed as traditional automakers maximize profits with an optimized balance of internal combustion and hybrid vehicles.
- Goldman Sachs Research now projects EVs to be 25% of global sales in 2030, down from a prior prediction of 28%, though its forecasts for China remain unchanged.
(449) MSCI: Compound Climate Hazards Pressure Beverage Giants
MSCI: Compound Climate Hazards Pressure Beverage Giants
Key findings
- Water quality is a new frontline of climate risk: Nestlé’s recent setbacks show extreme weather can drive contamination and costly reputational and financial fallout. Five other beverage firms may face similar risks.
- Mitigation strategies vary: Companies with more water-efficient processes may mitigate some of the risks of contamination as part of a holistic water-management approach.
- Climate hazards create compounding events: Floods, heat waves and droughts are increasingly converging, creating compounding risks for companies. Investors who assess climate threats in isolation risk missing the bigger picture.
(447) Global Canopy: Forest 500 - Finance: Deforestation is a bad investment
Global Canopy: Forest 500 - Finance: Deforestation is a bad investment
(https://forest500.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/F500_FinanceReport_no-appendix.pdf)
"Just three financial institutions – Vanguard, BlackRock and JPMorgan Chase – together provided over US$1.6 trillion to the Forest 500 companies, giving them a significant influence on deforestation, conversion and associated human rights abuses.
Financial institutions headquartered in China provided the most financing by country, over US$400 billion, to the Forest 500 laggards (the 168 companies without a public deforestation commitment). This is followed by the United States (US) with US$151 billion, and French financial institutions with US$57 billion.
In 2023, 45% of the financial institutions assessed had a public deforestation policy. This fell to 40% in 2024. This troubling shift is in contrast to the trend over the previous decade, when financial institutions increasingly set deforestation policies.
Despite accelerating global heating and the increasing frequency of destructive climate events, the proportion of financial institutions that recognises deforestation as a business risk in 2024 was virtually unchanged at 37%, compared to 35% in 2023."
