Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) has broadened its climate data and analytics offering to include physical and transition risk insights for more than five million private companies worldwide. The move addresses a long-standing gap in climate risk analysis for private markets, providing investors and asset managers with consistent data across all major asset classes.

“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 service merges Dun & Bradstreet’s global private company data – anchored by the trusted D-U-N-S® Number – with ICE’s geospatial intelligence and climate risk models. This integration provides detailed metrics on physical hazards such as flooding, wildfire, hurricane, extreme heat, and extreme cold exposure. It also includes Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions data, normalized by revenue, to assess climate impact and transition risk.

“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… offers visibility into extended supply chains and corporate footprints, enabling more robust climate risk assessments and empowering businesses to make informed, sustainable decisions.”

By combining this new dataset with existing ICE climate solutions, institutional investors gain access to real-time hazard monitoring and cross-asset insights, supporting a more comprehensive approach to climate risk management across portfolios.
