Carbon Screening & Footprinting
Methodology
ISS ESG’s Carbon Screening Services for public equity covers both direct as well as indirect emissions (Scope 1, Scope 2) using a sophisticated, robust as well as proven methodology:
- Strong scientific approach
- Methodology developed over the course of 1.5 years with researchers from ETH Zurich
- Largest coverage (over 40,000 securities)
- Transparent methodology (full disclosure on model and quality of every data point)
- Most sophisticated modeling (approaching 150 industry-specific models)
Do you know the climate impact of your investment fund?
The outcome of the screening is a standardized report, showing - among many other aspects - the largest greenhouse gas contributors in the portfolio, the cost of offsetting your investment's emissions and the individual emissions of the companies you own.
The perfect tool for understanding, measuring and managing carbon risks of portfolios.
In addition to the screening on the product (fund) level, yourSRI is able to screen the greenhouse gas emissions of individual portfolios for asset managers, banks, insurance companies, institutional investors and other asset owners.
With an extensive database compromised of more than 40,000 companies, yourSRI & ISS ESG provides you with the most complete information on corporate emissions worldwide. Simply upload your portfolio and within minutes it provides you with a detailed overview of the carbon footprint of your investments.
The portfolio screening works best with equity portfolios. Additional coverage for corporate fixed income instruments as well as a fund-look-through module will be available soon.
