Tool to help you determine if any company has a viable net-zero emissions pathway.
Greenhouse gas emissions are estimated from a huge database of benchmarks, and projected into the future, taking into account business growth, societal trends, and typical internal reduction actions.
As an investor, this helps you perform emissions due diligence to make the crucial go no-go decision, and if needs be price in the risk given the acquisition's net-zero viability.
Use the tool when time is critical and you have little data about the company's operations.
You can leverage the huge power of our benchmarks database to estimate emissions based on similar companies, tailored to the chosen geography and size of the company. Ultimately this is about enabling you to answer the crucial question:
Does this company have a viable pathway to net zero emissions?
What are the different projections into the future?
Forecasting techniques are used to project three pathways out to 2050.
How do we estimate emissions for many different types of company?
We have painstakingly built up a huge database of granular activity data for hundreds of different company types.
Combined with approved emissions factors from all around world, we can estimate the base year emissions of any company.
Our model accounts for hundreds of different potential sources of emissions. Basing our modelling off granular data is hugely important as it enables us to forecast the impact of individual exogenous trends and internal actions, how they interact, and how they vary into the future.
And we don't limit our estimate to the easier to measure Scope 1 & 2 emissions. All Scope 3 categories are estimated by combining benchmarks with global economic data.
For example purchased goods and services (Scope 3-1) are estimated by scaling and matching National Use Tables.
Whilst this isn't a perfect estimate, it enables strategic decision making when time is short and better data is unavailable.
Business-as-usual pathway assumes the business grows at the selected growth %, and there is no change in external trends nor internal reduction measures.
Exogenous pathway accounts for hundreds of expected trends happening externally to the company. For example the decarbonisation of electricity, and the shift to electric vehicles, and energy efficiency in industry.
Internal transformation pathway models the impact of the most typical energy efficiency and carbon reduction measures deployed by companies of that type.
What information do I need?
At the minimum, all you need is four inputs in order for our model to estimate activity and emissions based on our database of benchmarks:
Company Type
Location
Revenue
Number of employees
Then three variables can be adjusted to see their impact on the pathways.
The % growth of the company affects the business-as-usual activity.
The optimism of the decarbonisation impact of exogenous trends, which adjusts the impact of hundreds of societal trends in the model.
The extent of the internal transformation expected by the company, which alters the depth of the emissions reduction actions within realistic margins for each company type.
