Charting progress of 1,500 financial institutions

Tracked financial institutions cover around USD 286 trillion of assets, or 60% of the global financial system, spanning five investor categories—asset owners, asset managers, insurance, PE, VC, hedge funds, and banks.

The NZFT analyses these institutions across 17 indicators measuring progress across three dimensions: Targets, Implementation, and Impact.

Harmonizing data from 50 sources

The NZFT captures, standardizes, and assesses data from >600 variables from 58 data providers.

This work is made possible by the support of our funders, the Laudes Foundation, the Hewlett Foundation, and Bloomberg Philanthropies, as well as the initiatives from which we collect and standardize data.

How are institutions progressing?

Target-setting increased rapidly among tracked institutions between 2019 and 2024, though quality remains weak. Implementation actions increased in both volume and quality, but a significant capital gap remains. New finance to, and existing investment holdings in, fossil fuel companies still exceeds clean energy finance. While the levels of direct and indirectly enabled investment specifically in clean energy projects now surpass finance for new fossil fuel projects, insufficient clean investment and continued financing of new fossil fuel projects hinder us from achieving a Paris-aligned world.
