Projects

To illustrate our broad expertise, covering many different economic sectors, commodities, sustainability themes and countries, this page gives an overview of the different projects executed by Profundo over the years. In the menu, you can filter the projects by thematic area. Each project is described briefly and where available the project portfolio - such as reports, brochures or presentations - is provided. Attention is also given to the exposure generated by the project in the media, in politics and elsewhere.

 

We analyse the financial parameters of companies and assess how companies and their financiers could be affected in different scenarios by Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risks related to deforestation, climate change emissions, human rights abuses, resource depletion, health impacts and other sustainability issues.
We analyse the various human rights and other sustainability risks in international commodity supply chains and identify what different stakeholders can do to foster sustainable development of value chains in agriculture, forestry, livestock, energy, fisheries and mineral sectors.
We analyse how companies are financed by banks, shareholders and others financiers, to assess what financiers could do to foster sustainable corporate practices. Also, we dig into ownership structures and the schemes companies have set up to minimise tax payments.
We assess and benchmark responsible investment and credit policies of banks and investors and we advise on how policies can be improved and implemented through screening, voting, engagement and exclusion strategies.

Global Coal Exit List 2024
Two weeks before the world’s governments meet for COP29 in Baku, urgewald and 51 NGO partners released the 2024 “Global Coal Exit List” (GCEL), a public database of 1,579 companies operating along the thermal coal value chain. 95% of the Coal Industry Still Has No Phase-Out Plan. Although we are already perilously close to overshooting the 1.5°C limit, the overwhelming majority of the world’s coal companies still refuse to transition. Out of the 1,579 parent companies and 1,204 subsidiaries on GCEL, only 124 companies – less than 5% of the total – have announced a coal exit date. Many of these coal exit dates are, however, far too late. Profundo conducted financial research for the list.
