3 steps to reduce portfolio emissions
Challenges
Real emissions data is difficult to gather. There could be millions of data points.
You don’t know what to collect.
1
Start with proxy data
Output
Estimated finance emissions footprint by asset class (and sector, building type, etc).
Action
1. Identify portfolio emissions hotspots
2. Inform primary data collection strategy
2
Collect primary data
Output
Actual emissions footprint by asset class (and sector, building type, etc) collect at scale by source. Target high impact classes.
Action
1. Measure and track high impact asset classes over time
2. Get asset class level information
3
Develop decarbonisation strategy
Output
A decarbonisation strategy tailored to your asset classes (i.e. borrowers).
Action
1. Confirm or set targets
2. Engage your portfolio for decarbonisation
Many financial institutions are committing to frameworks and targets but don’t have tools that enable them to make informed decarbonisation decisions. Portfolio carbon accounting is complex, requiring measuring emissions in the assets you finance. Finance emissions often make up more than 90% of your carbon emissions, and measuring emissions across your asset classes is incredibly complex.
Our digital tools enable financial institutions to collect information – the primary or secondary data required to understand the hotspots in your portfolio and develop an informed decarbonisation strategy. This strategy could include unlocking new revenue streams by offering new products and services that enable low carbon actions in our portfolio.
Use proxy data to determine primary data collection. How we can help:
Proxy Data Assessments
With a proxy data assessment, we require limited data to estimate hotspots in your financed emissions portfolio.
A proxy data assessment will carry a higher score under PCAF, however it is a powerful tool to make an informed primary data collection strategy.
Primary Data Collection
Our digital tool allows you to customise your borrower outreach by asset class and sector – depending on where your hotspots are.
The Insight Accelerator will generate a customised list of questions that you can send (via a unique link) to your portfolio. The information is collected and sent back to the portal allowing you to gain borrower-level insights that feed into your decarbonisation strategy.
Our platform enables:
carbon accounting of your financed emissions portfolio
compliance with PCAF and the GHG Protocol
smart climate risk assessments and incentivisation
analysis of your Scope 3 emissions
climate leadership towards net-zero targets
