Carbon insurance provider Kita has expanded its Active Risk Monitoring services for carbon markets, after offering these services to select stakeholders since March 2024.
The company's risk modelling for ex-ante projects is conducted daily as part of its insurance underwriting process, which is geared towards facilitating investment in early-stage projects.
Through this, Kita has developed a proprietary risk model based on data and industry insights, encompassing a range of projects.
Kita's Active Risk Monitoring services utilise this data model to evaluate projects comparatively, with near real-time monitoring to ensure continuous refinement and accuracy of the risk analysis.
The services are designed to aid informed decision-making for investors and project developers during the investment process.
Kita's service portfolio includes risk assessments for due diligence or to showcase strong risk management, portfolio assessments for companies with existing carbon credit portfolios, and ongoing health checks for insured carbon projects, offering clients regular updates to maintain confidence in project performance.
Kita co-founder and CEO Natalia Dorfman said: “By offering an additional insurability lens on due diligence and quality assessment, plus proactivity in ongoing risk management to mitigate risks before they occur, the provision of Kita’s Active Risk Monitoring services can help channel significant global capital towards high-quality carbon projects.”
Kita CTO Paul Young said: “Using market benchmarks and our comprehensive proprietary data sets gleaned from our long-standing insurance work with ex-ante projects, we can do just this and we look forward to bringing these services to a wider range of market participants.”
Earlier this year, Kita partnered with Tokio Marine Kiln to provide political risk insurance to developers and investors involved in carbon credit initiatives.
"Kita expands active risk monitoring for carbon markets " was originally created and published by Life Insurance International , a GlobalData owned brand.
