Trucost consolidated the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data of each company so as to calculate the portfolio’s carbon intensity and compare it with that of a relevant market index.
Trucost used the data disclosed by the companies on direct GHG emissions (level 1) and indirect GHG emissions (level 2 and main suppliers).
The analysis found the carbon intensity of ERAFP’s portfolio is 19% lower than the MSCI All World Index. The relatively better performance against the index partially reflects ERAFP’s best-in-class strategy to invest in only those companies in each sector with the best ESG criteria.
