ICE Launches Climate Risk Data and Analytics for Private Companies
ATLANTA & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), a leading global provider of technology and data, today announced it has expanded its climate data and analytics offering to include physical and transition risk data for over five million private companies globally. With this expanded data, ICE now offers a consistent approach to climate risk analysis across all major asset classes, including public and private companies, sovereigns, municipal bonds and mortgage-backed securities. '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 new service integrates Dun & Bradstreet's comprehensive global data of private companies with ICE's proprietary geospatial intelligence platform and climate risk models. This combination provides robust analytics for both physical and transition risks, including detailed metrics for flood, wildfire, hurricane, extreme heat, and extreme cold exposure. In addition to physical risk data, the service offers Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions metrics, including emissions intensity normalized by revenue. This can enable investors to assess climate impact and transition risk across entire portfolios, including traditionally opaque private markets. "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 – anchored by the D-U-N-S® Number, a trusted identifier across the business and investment communities – offers visibility into extended supply chains and corporate footprints, enabling more robust climate risk assessments and empowering businesses to make informed, sustainable decisions.' The new private company data is integrated into ICE's climate data solutions, offering institutional investors real-time hazard monitoring and multi-asset class insights. Combined with ICE's existing climate datasets, it delivers a comprehensive view of climate risk across corporates, sovereigns, and asset-backed securities.

Supply Chain Risk Grows Amid Ongoing Tariff Uncertainty
Dun & Bradstreet data and analytics allow organizations to illuminate the impacts of supply chain disruptions JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 06, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dun & Bradstreet (NYSE:DNB), a leading global provider of business data and analytics, continues to monitor evolving global tariff policies and their potential impacts on organizational supply chains. To empower companies to effectively pivot their supply chain strategies, Dun & Bradstreet offers insights into their supply chain risks, including personalized tariff risk assessments and benchmarks. Dun & Bradstreet's supply chain solutions have mapped out 27 billion confirmed supplier relationships and visibility into approximately 30 percent of global trade flows. With this profound insight, companies can manage risks against the impact of tariffs by identifying viable options in different locations and alternative suppliers, ensuring the continuous operation of essential suppliers. A Dun & Bradstreet survey of about 10,000 businesses globally found their optimism for supply chain continuity dropped 10.4% from Q4 2024 to Q1 2025, continuing the decline observed in Q3 2024. Challenges such as freight costs, container shortages, and route disruptions, as well as payment delays, contributed to this decline. New tariffs further increase an already challenging environment. "Organizations must future-proof their supply chains against ongoing uncertainties and potential disruptions. The key lies in businesses remaining agile, staying informed, and making data-driven decisions to adapt to the fluctuating landscape," said Brian Filanowski, General Manager, Finance & Risk Solutions at Dun & Bradstreet. "At Dun & Bradstreet, we help companies address supply chain challenges with comprehensive risk analyses that put our vast and deep linkage data to work to identify suppliers, vendors and trade partners to help businesses achieve greater resiliency in a globally complex, interconnected market." While tariffs and their secondary impacts remain highly uncertain, companies with supply chain agility and visibility can proactively mitigate volatile disruptions. Organizations must not only address potential challenges related to their suppliers but also broaden their risk perspective to uncover hidden difficulties within their supply chain network, which can include corporate linkages, country-specific risks and connections to affected goods and industries. In addition, increasing credit limit requirements may reduce available capital as higher prices mean higher expenses with costs passed on to clients, potentially increasing a company's risk profile. Intelligence that spans multiple tiers of supply chain risk management combined with Dun & Bradstreet's data on over 600 million public and private companies enables enterprises to proactively navigate potential tariff impacts.
