In 2015, Thomas H. Stoner Jr., a seasoned energy entrepreneur, and Dr. David Schimel, a leading climate scientist, founded a research organization to advocate for the use of global capital markets as a critical solution to climate change. In undertaking the onerous task of writing a book that reflected on his years of experience as an international renewable energy entrepreneur and environmental advocate, Tom Stoner sought an in-depth analysis of global energy consumption. To aid in his analysis of the world’s energy use and its impacts on the environment, he engaged a group that was building upon the work of Donella Meadows and the Club of Rome to construct a robust climate science model that would help him tie the climate system to economic and financial systems.
Tom Stoner published his research and analysis in his book, Small Change, Big Gains: Reflections of an Energy Entrepreneur. At the heart of Small Change, Big Gains is the discovery that: It is possible to stabilize rising global temperatures and remain under global temperature targets set by the international community if capital is deployed to limit large scale systemic risk typically associated with climate change. With the scientific data confirming their assumptions the next step was clear.
Tom Stoner and Dr. David Schimel convened a group of leading climate experts and financial professionals to launch Entelligent®. Its mission: To align capital markets with the needs of the 21st century and in particular, the systemic risks of climate change.
Entelligent hired a sophisticated team of data scientists to develop, test and validate the Smart Climate® methodology. Using big data, artificial intelligence and systems dynamics modeling, the team created a technology that allows investors to account for systemic macro-risks, like climate change, in order to improve risk-adjusted returns.
Entelligent continues to meet this objective by partnering with the likes of the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund (UNJSPF) to generate a custom data stream to assist in security selection using a suite of E-Score® products. Also, Entelligent’s data partnership with a globally recognized financial information provider and the roll out of a portfolio analyzer will allow wealth managers and family offices to measure the financial and environmental performance of public funds. Entelligent continues to grow and work with a dedicated team of experts and in collaboration with commercialization partners to validate and expand the Smart Climate methodology and suite of products.
