Carbon Footprinting

Our Carbon Footprinting solution allows investors to measure financed emissions according to the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF). It also helps assess granular Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions as well as intensity profiles.

Our exhaustive emissions dataset covers issuer-reported emissions. It includes Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions (including granular Scope 3 data), emission intensities, PCAF quality scores, factors to identify the source of emissions data, and assessed reliability of issuer-reported emissions data.

Our offering also provides data on Potential Avoided Emissions (PAE) from utilities’ renewable energy generation, as well as turnkey technologies that generate electricity from renewable sources (e.g. wind, solar, hydro, geothermal).

Physical Risk Data & Analytics

This solution evaluates a company’s climate risk exposure against recognized scenarios using footprinting, innovative geospatial data and financials to quantify how floods, storms, heat, wildfires, and drought could impact its activities and assets.

  • Holistic End-to-end Solution

    Estimates the financial impact of increased key acute and chronic hazard intensity by 2050, under recognized climate scenarios. It provides metrics at the corporate, real asset, and portfolio level to support risk analysis, reporting requirements and portfolio optimization.

  • Granular & Proprietary Data

    Analysis is grounded in detailed information on companies’ geographical distribution of production facilities and revenue. It incorporates asset geolocations and corporate financial data and is based on peer-reviewed climate models.

  • Geospatial Asset Database

    Provides verified geolocation and site-level intelligence to support precise identification of physical risk exposure of real assets owned or operated by issuers. Structural damage and business interruption are assessed by integrating hazard probability, exposure, and vulnerability data.

  • Key Financial Metrics

    Quantify the potential financial impact of various risks by accessing detailed metrics across climate hazards, scenarios, and risk types—including scores, financial risk, operational risks and value-at-risk metrics.

Transition Risks & Opportunities

Understand the financial risks and opportunities that transitioning to a low-carbon economy may present for your investments.

We assess company and portfolio exposure as it relates to:

  • Carbon pricing and demand changes
  • Impacts on operating costs and revenues
  • Fossil fuel reserves
  • Power generation
  • Controversial energy extraction practices

We include forward-looking, returns-based analysis to quantify potential financial impact under a Net Zero scenario.

Scenario Alignment Data & Temperature Score

Measure how well your portfolio and its constituents align with global low-carbon transition scenarios and regulatory frameworks by comparing issuers' projected future emissions and climate targets against climate scenario trajectories.

Measure your portfolio’s alignment across 25+ scenarios provided by leading models to satisfy reporting requirements and conduct comparisons across sectors and regions. All models include scenarios where emissions achieve Net Zero by 2050.

Built with a focus on granularity and accuracy, our model’s alignment assessments are based on cumulative emissions as well as sector-specific and region-specific carbon budgets.

Our emissions data covers all sectors and includes regional granularity—providing more in-depth analysis of climate-related risks and opportunities.

Net Zero Solutions

Our data helps you evaluate how a portfolio and its constituents align with Net Zero goals by identifying issuers whose finance strategies and capital allocation support a lower carbon economy.

  • Distinct Methodology

    Built against criteria developed by initiatives such as Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change, Net Zero Investors Framework, and Climate Action 100+ Benchmark.

  • Issuer Level Net Zero Alignment Data

    Based on 200 datapoints that evaluate companies’ individual climate-related metrics—including material disclosures of GHG emissions, long-term and interim targets, and decarbonization strategies—our Net Zero alignment assessment helps investors fully understand the foundation of an issuer’s commitments.

  • Practical Use Cases

    Substantiate your Net Zero pledges, understand companies’ Net Zero alignment, efficiently manage climate risks, invest in companies with climate-change-mitigating technologies, and enhance your engagement and voting activities.

Biodiversity Impact Assessment Tool

Better understand and evaluate biodiversity risks across your portfolios by analyzing environmental pressures on species and habitats, the value chain, and geographic location.

  • Two Key Biodiversity Metrics

    Measures Potentially Disappeared Fraction of species (PDF) and Mean Species Abundance (MSA) to quantify biodiversity impact.

  • Distinct Methodology

    We assess the impact of a company’s business and supply chain activities on biodiversity through: Economic Activity Identification & Supply Chain Modeling and Impact Assessment, Species Richness Assessment, Species Abundance Assessment, Refinement & Normalization, and Ecosystem Services Assessment.

  • Range of Uses

    Supports compliance with nature-related disclosure frameworks within the European Union, including Article 29 of the French Energy Transition Law, as well as the UN Convention on Biological Diversity and the Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures.
