Climate Strategy & Partners

What Climate Strategy & Partners does

Climate Strategy & Partners (legal entity CLIMATE STRATEGY, S.L.) is a Madrid-based, founder-owned boutique consulting firm specializing in climate strategy, sustainable finance, and energy efficiency policy. Founded circa 2003 by Peter Sweatman (former JPMorgan and Climate Change Capital executive with 32 years in financial services, 20 focused on climate), the firm operates with a core team of approximately 5 senior experts and serves large corporations, financial institutions, and government bodies across Europe, the EU, and the G20. Its service portfolio comprises strategic climate advisory (policy development, corporate decarbonization planning, financing mechanism design) and an extensive research publishing arm of 30+ reports, sold individually through the company website. The firm is best known for originating the Mortgage Portfolio Standards (MPS) framework and the EU Renovation Loan (ERL) instrument — both of which were incorporated into the European Parliament's 2024 Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) revision.

The firm's core technology consists of proprietary analytical frameworks rather than software products: an EU Taxonomy application methodology that distinguishes green investments from greenwashing, the MPS framework for retail bank portfolio energy performance, and the ERL instrument design that combines EU guarantees with ECB green liquidity. Its go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven: direct advisory engagements with enterprise and government clients, complemented by thought leadership through 440+ conference appearances by the CEO and active participation in COP26–COP28, EU Parliament, and G20 forums. The firm operates as Rapporteur for the European Commission's EEFIG and as technical coordinator for the G20 Energy Efficiency Finance Task Group, giving it structural influence over climate finance regulation. Revenue is generated through professional-services consulting fees and one-time report licensing; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Climate Strategy is privately held with no external institutional investment and no subsidiaries beyond the affiliated EECap Advisors group company.
