From Text to Value: Measuring and Pricing Firm Climate Risk Exposure
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We examine how the prominence and tone of climate risk disclosures affect firm value and strategic climate positioning for large European nonfinancial companies. We developed a firm‐level climate risk exposure (CRE) index that assesses climate risks within corporate narratives across four EU categories: transition risk, physical risk ...
