The Square Research Center brings together around thirty PhDs, doctoral students, and consultants, who contribute to furthering applied R&D and preparing the future of business. Twenty-five R&D programmes aligned with our areas of excellence.

WHO ARE WE?

The Square Research Center was created to promote the development of applied R&D work at Square Management. Its purpose is to design and test the most innovative approaches and tools, in order to provide a relevant response to major problems faced by organisations. The Square Research Center combines researchers (PhDs and doctoral students), consultants, academic partners, and public and private organisations with the production of new knowledge and solutions, geared towards action and designed for concrete implementation.

WHAT DO WE DO?

The Square Research Center encourages its teams to remove the scientific and technological barriers that prevent organisations from addressing in depth the ‘problems’ they face, whether new, emerging or already known. To this end, we develop models, solutions, and tools for our clients, partners, and consultants. We share our results at academic seminars, professional events, and in publications and use our discoveries in the context of the missions entrusted to us by our clients.

The PROGRAMS

Portfolio alignment

Portfolio alignment

Portfolio alignment makes it possible to measure the climate performance of a portfolio of assets. A number of alignment methodologies have been developed in the wake of the Paris Agreement to meet the objective of making financial flows compatible with a low level of emissions. To date, existing methodologies do not take account of the risk dimension. As a result, a portfolio can be aligned with a 2°C trajectory and still be significantly exposed to climate risks.
