Sustainable Finance for the Climate Transition
We integrate sustainability into financial and investment decisions, helping financial institutions meet the sustainability criteria their funders and regulators require when channeling capital, in line with current market frameworks and standards.
The Challenge for Organizations
Directing capital wisely (toward which projects, at what level of risk, with what degree of alignment with climate commitments) takes technical evidence.
Banks, investors, and development financiers decide, with every credit or investment approval, how fast the climate transition moves.
The projects and measures needed to scale mitigation and adaptation depend on the capital they channel, and that capital remains a scarce resource.
Measure to mobilize
Without quantifying financed and facilitated emissions, it’s hard to know where to direct capital or show progress.
Traceability
Sustainable bonds and loans require allocation and impact systems that can be verified throughout their entire life, and keeping them up to date is often harder than issuing the instrument.
Align before committing capital
In practice, many institutions assess projects against the Paris Agreement and green taxonomies once the project is already underway and the funds are already allocated. Making adjustments midstream is much more complicated.
Integration from the business strategy
Building sustainability into the product portfolio and financing decisions is what allows a financial institution to truly support its clients through the transition and adaptation, and it’s also the hardest part to get right.
Who It’s For
For financial institutions: commercial and development banks, asset managers and investment funds, multilaterals, and climate finance agencies.
All of these institutions need technical, comparable evidence to direct capital toward the climate transition, structure sustainable finance instruments, or show their own investors and funders how they manage the climate risk in their portfolios.

Standards That Give Financial Decisions Credibility
We apply the frameworks that banks, investors, and funders recognize and require.
The Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) for calculating financed and facilitated emissions; the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for portfolio decarbonization targets; the joint multilateral development bank methodology for Paris Agreement alignment assessments; ICMA’s Green, Social, and Sustainability Bond Principles; IFRS S1 and S2 and other climate disclosure frameworks; and national and international taxonomies.
How We Support Your Organization
Everything we do is tailored to your organization’s own reality and challenges:
Financed and facilitated emissions
We calculate financed and facilitated emissions using the PCAF standard.
Decarbonization targets
We set portfolio decarbonization targets aligned with SBTi or with each organization’s own level of ambition.
Paris Agreement alignment
We assess the alignment of projects and investments with the Paris Agreement, NDCs, and other climate standards and guidelines, even at early pre-investment stages.
Sustainable finance instruments
We structure and support the issuance of sustainable finance instruments, such as green bonds and green credit lines.
Traceability and impact
We design traceability systems and allocation and impact reports for instruments already issued.
Disclosure and reporting
We support disclosure and reporting under market standards.
What This Service Delivers
We help identify new business opportunities, such as green financial products and credit lines aligned with the climate transition, and reach segments where demand for sustainable finance is growing.
Diagnostics for decision-making
Portfolio information on emissions, climate risks, and adaptation and transition opportunities.
More precisely directed capital
Technical information that lets banks and investors channel financing toward the projects and sectors most aligned with the climate transition.
Access to financing on better terms
Instruments and reports that meet what multilateral banks, impact investors, and capital markets require when evaluating a financial institution.
Credibility with investors and regulators
Traceability and verifiable indicators that back the institution’s public sustainability commitments.
Climate risk management in the portfolio
Visibility into the climate exposure of investments and loans, so you can anticipate and act.
Timely adjustments
Identifying climate alignment gaps early in the investment process, while it’s still possible to change a project’s design.
Why ImplementaSur?
A bridge between the real economy and finance
We work where the operational challenges of productive sectors meet the demands of the financial sector, translating climate risks and opportunities into terms both sides understand.
Recognized methodologies
We apply PCAF, SBTi, the joint multilateral bank methodology for Paris Agreement alignment, and the ICMA principles, adapted to each country’s regulatory reality.
From pre-investment to reporting
We support the entire cycle: early project assessment, instrument structuring, and traceability and reporting once the capital has been allocated.
Tech Briefs
1. Financed and facilitated emissions aren’t calculated the same way across all products
Mortgages, commercial loans, and project finance require different methodological approaches under PCAF, and mixing them produces results that can’t be compared with one another.
2. Paris Alignment is assessed before the project exists
The joint multilateral bank methodology is applied at the pre-investment stage, while a project’s design can still be adjusted. Assessing it afterward can reduce it to a reporting exercise.
3. A portfolio SBTi target isn’t the sum of client targets
It requires weighing exposure, sector, and the quality of available data, and it often starts with the segments where the best information exists, not the ones with the highest emissions.
4. A sustainable bond doesn’t end at issuance
Allocation and impact reporting is what sustains the instrument’s credibility year after year, and many institutions underestimate the traceability effort required to maintain it.
