"Furthermore, the Carbon Report can be enhanced with Asset Servicing's investment trust look-through capabilities," he said.

"The newly launched product assists clients with post trade analysis and monitoring of investment carbon intensity across portfolios and investment managers. It supports the reporting of a fund's carbon footprint (eg. Montreal pledge) and provides clients additional opportunities to further disclose fund carbon exposures," Comito said.
