Carbon footprint
Data not yet available
In tonnes per million EUR.
Carbon footprint
The amount in tonnes per million (Euro) invested for the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) scope 1 and 2 emissions that are attributable to the portfolio. The amount of emission of GHG (in tonnes) divided by the amount invested (in Euros) is known as the Carbon footprint of a portfolio. Calculated by working out for each unique holding the percentage of that company that the portfolio owns. The portfolio is therefore responsible for that portion of the company's Green house gas scope 1 and 2 emissions. Then each holdings responsible share of the Green house gas scope 1 and 2 emissions are summed to given an overall emissions in tonnes, divided by the millions (Euro) invested in total in those companies. This only includes the long portion of the holdings for which the data is available. The principal adverse impacts (PAIs) are defined by the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosures (SFDR) regulation and are used to measure the adverse impacts of investments.
