Even your money has a carbon footprint
It might seem strange, but even your money contributes to CO2 emissions. Where it is saved, and where and how it is invested has real-world impact. Our choices matter.
What's the carbon footprint of your portfolio?

Select the amount you have to invest or have invested. Pick one of our Portfolio Strategies and your appetite for risk. We'll then show you the lower carbon footprint of your investments with us, relative to investing in a standard set of global companies.
Here's how the annual emissions associated with your £50,000 investment compare against investing the same amount into a world equity index. To illustrate the scale of this difference, we have converted it into some commonly known equivalents:
Your portfolio
167 tonnes of CO2
World equity index
310 tonnes of CO2
What's the difference? 143 tonnes of CO2 is equivalent to the emissions from:
Emissions breakdown
For each company we look at Scope 1,2 and 3 emissions. Scope 1 & 2 covers direct emissions and those from purchased energy. We also chose to include Scope 3 emissions, which are all the indirect upstream and downstream emissions of a business, e.g., providers/suppliers or from the use of their products and services.
Please note that naturally, the associated Scope 3 emissions may include some double counting when investing in businesses sharing the same supply chains. The underlying Scope 1,2 and 3 carbon emissions data is sourced by MSCI and reflect most recent portfolio holdings and disclosed carbon data. Please click here for the full methodology.
Please note that switching your investments does not directly save emissions in the real world and does not offset your personal carbon footprints.
| Scope | Your portfolio | World equity index |
|---|---|---|
| Scope 1 & 2 | 28.34 | 43.89 |
| Scope 3 | 138.68 | 265.92 |
| Total | 167.02 | 309.81 |
