What's the carbon footprint of your portfolio?

All investments carry a carbon footprint, by investing in businesses that emit greenhouse gases through their activities.

We use an industry standard methodology, which lets us associate the tonnes of CO2 equivalent emitted per 1m GBP invested, and scale it to any amount of shareholding. We use the “Financed carbon emissions method”, using Enterprise Value including Cash (EVIC) as recommended in the PCAF carbon accounting standard. We only focus on the equity portion of the portfolio to enable comparability with a standard market index, and include direct and indirect carbon emissions from the businesses (Scope 1,2 and 3 as defined by the greenhouse gas protocol). The underlying Scope 1,2 and 3 carbon emissions data is sourced by Clarity AI and reflect most recent portfolio holdings and disclosed carbon data. For a full methodology: click here.
