The expansion by First Street provides institutional investors with more comprehensive tools to assess physical climate risk across corporate balance sheets and infrastructure portfolios. This will likely lead to better-informed investment decisions and potentially influence valuations and credit assessments in various markets.
First Street, a research nonprofit turned global software platform, has expanded its climate risk coverage beyond real estate to include companies and complex infrastructure assets. This expansion, announced on April 27, 2026, introduces two new modules: the Company Module and the Complex Assets Module. These modules aim to connect physical climate risk to financial outcomes, such as earnings, credit, and valuation, for institutional investors. Matthew Eby, CEO and Founder of First Street, emphasized that this move aligns with how climate risk impacts financial performance, from individual assets to broader market outcomes. The First Street Enterprise Suite now offers complete coverage of these asset types to investors, financial institutions, governments, and corporations.
