Research network strives for better design of sustainable financial products

Prof. Dr. Markus Dertwinkel-Kalt and his team jointly develop ecolabels to make climate-related information more available for investment decisions

To achieve the goal of climate neutrality by 2050, the financial sector plays a central role alongside the scaling of "green" economic activities. The universities of Bochum and Münster, the sustainable finance think tank Climate & Company and the Leibniz Institute SAFE are working together with experts to develop ecolabels to help investors make decisions about investments that support the transformation of the economy.
Accordingly, the collaborative project ClimLabels: Transformation Labels in Climate Finance aims to develop incentives for CO2 reductions based on robust transformation indicators. To achieve this goal, the research collaborative is seeking a comprehensive and better understanding of the metrics on which transformation indicators and ecolabels are built.
