What we do

Trucost helps its clients understand the true cost of business, in order to use resources more efficiently across operations, supply chains and investment portfolios.

Key to our approach is that we not only quantify environmental impacts, but we also put a price on them, helping clients understand environmental risk in business terms.

The utility of this has been highlighted over the past two years, with volatile commodity prices, driven by environmental and political shocks to the global trading environment driving businesses to change the way they view their supply chains. Trucost's data helps its customers understand the magnitude of these systemic risks. Our customers are no longer driven by fear of regulation, but business logic.

It isn't "all about carbon"; it's about water, an increasingly expensive and scarce resource; it's about waste management; it's about energy efficiency; and about where inputs are sourced and processed as risk varies according to location.

How Trucost can help 

Over the last 10 years, Trucost has researched, standardised and validated the world's most comprehensive data on corporate environmental impacts, including carbon, water, waste and pollutants. This provides Trucost's clients with:

• The most efficient approach to measuring carbon and wider environmental impacts across operations, supply chains and investment portfolios;
• Clear identification of focus areas for reducing material environmental risks;
• Validation of source data, including completion of gaps in data which are currently not being tracked or reported;
• Comparison of environmental performance against peers, sectors, investment benchmarks and portfolios;
• The ability to transform quantitative environmental data into environmentally-oriented investment strategies
