Transition talks

Episode 2: Company transition plans

In this interview, we speak to Bridget Beals, Head of Climate Risk & Strategy at KPMG who talks to us about the engagements she’s having with companies across public and private markets and the transition plans she’s seeing from these companies.

Introduction to transition investing​

The term ‘transition investing’ describes allocations that finance progress towards net zero. It covers investments in industries and infrastructure that are helping the energy transition, as well as targeting high-emitting sectors that require substantial financing to implement their climate strategies. Critical to transition investing is having a credible way to determine which companies can effectively transition.

Investing in the transition can take the form of equity or debt, as well as project financing.

Enabling the transition

Investments in industries and infrastructure enabling the energy transition.​

Focusing on high emitters

Investments in high-emitting sectors where credible climate transition plans require financing.

Examples include:

  • Investments in high-emitting, hard-to-decarbonise industries such as steel, cement and chemicals, supplying them with the capital they need to decarbonise.​
  • Investments in high-emissions regions, particularly emerging markets, providing capital to facilitate progress towards net zero.​
  • Investments in the infrastructure transformations required to achieve net zero, such as upgrading electrical power grids and transmission systems.​
  • Investments in decarbonisation innovations and projects, such as green hydrogen and carbon capture and storage.​
