Climative, an energy and climate data company transforming how lenders and insurers assess building-level risk and opportunity, announced it has joined the Canadian Lenders Association (CLA) as an Approved Vendor. This designation recognizes Climative’s contribution to advancing data-driven, climate-aware lending practices in Canada’s financial sector.
Climative harnesses AI to rapidly generate energy and carbon insights for buildings with personalized retrofit roadmaps. Lenders use this intelligence to identify mortgage risks and opportunities associated with energy performance, resilience, and retrofit potential, thereby unlocking new value for borrowers and institutions alike. Their emissions data is PCAF accredited and validated by several financial institutions.
“We’re thrilled to join the CLA community,” said Winston Morton, CEO at Climative. “As climate risk becomes a critical factor in lending, we’re helping financial institutions turn building-level energy and retrofit data into actionable insights for underwriting, product development, and portfolio management. Every homeowner deserves clear insight into their home’s climate-related performance, and access to the resources to make it more affordable, comfortable, and safe.”
The CLA represents more than 100 corporate members, including banks, fintech lenders, and service providers. As an Approved Vendor, Climative will collaborate with members on solutions that align climate-aware lending with consumer value and long-term financial stability.
“Climate risk is becoming a material factor in credit assessment and portfolio management,” said Gary Schwartz, President and CEO of the Canadian Lenders Association. “Climative offers lenders a timely tool to better understand the energy performance and climate resilience of the assets they finance and to align with evolving regulatory and consumer expectations.”
Climative’s platform is in use by financial institutions, governments, and utilities to support decarbonization and energy efficiency goals. Its designation as an Approved Vendor with the Canadian Lenders Association reinforces the growing importance of climate intelligence in the financial services sector.
