ICE Launches Climate Risk Data and Analytics for Private Companies

Expands climate data offering to over five million private companies globally

Incorporates Dun & Bradstreet’s extensive private company data

ATLANTA & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), a leading global provider of technology and data, today announced it has expanded its climate data and analytics offering to include physical and transition risk data for over five million private companies globally. With this expanded data, ICE now offers a consistent approach to climate risk analysis across all major asset classes, including public and private companies, sovereigns, municipal bonds and mortgage-backed securities.

“When looking at portfolio-level climate risk management, data blind spots, specifically in the private company universe, have created challenges for professional investors and asset managers,” said Larry Lawrence, Head of ICE Climate. “By expanding our climate data service to private companies, we’re able to offer an all-in-one solution with complete portfolio coverage across all major asset classes.”

The new service integrates Dun & Bradstreet’s comprehensive global data of private companies with ICE’s proprietary geospatial intelligence platform and climate risk models. This combination provides robust analytics for both physical and transition risks, including detailed metrics for flood, wildfire, hurricane, extreme heat, and extreme cold exposure.

In addition to physical risk data, the service offers Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions metrics, including emissions intensity normalized by revenue. This can enable investors to assess climate impact and transition risk across entire portfolios, including traditionally opaque private markets.

"The addition of Dun & Bradstreet’s private company data into ICE’s climate risk platform represents a pivotal advancement in helping organizations uncover and manage climate-related vulnerabilities across their global operations,” said Brian Filanowski, General Manager of Finance & Risk Solutions at Dun & Bradstreet. “Our data – anchored by the D-U-N-S® Number, a trusted identifier across the business and investment communities – offers visibility into extended supply chains and corporate footprints, enabling more robust climate risk assessments and empowering businesses to make informed, sustainable decisions.”

The new private company data is integrated into ICE’s climate data solutions, offering institutional investors real-time hazard monitoring and multi-asset class insights. Combined with ICE’s existing climate datasets, it delivers a comprehensive view of climate risk across corporates, sovereigns, and asset-backed securities.
