Assessing the climate impact is considered an important feature and a necessary starting point for understanding climate-related risks and opportunities linked to a portfolio. By accounting for climate-related risks, investors may reduce financial risks resulting from exposure and reputational risks due to the climate impact of their assets under management. They can also profit from financial and reputational opportunities resulting from transitioning to a low-carbon economy.

Inrate supports investors by providing climate impact data like greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (in tCO2eq) and intensities for all scopes, covering full supply chains, product usage, and disposal (1, 2, 3 up- and downstream) for equity and bonds, based on reported business activities.

 

 

The model is based on an economic input-output life cycle assessment (EIO LCA). Based on official statistical data, it maps monetary flows induced by an economic activity across the entire supply, use, and disposal chain (Scopes 1-3). Thus, it offers a complete and consistent assessment of climate intensities and ensures comparability across companies. The modeled emission data are complemented with physical data (e.g., energy production and purchased electricity volumes) and corresponding emission factors.

The Inrate Climate Impact data enables investors to evaluate the GHG exposure of portfolios, derive climate-related risks, identify low-emission industries, and construct GHG-optimized portfolios. Inrate calculates the globally used key figure of weighted average carbon intensity (WACI) to analyze and compare portfolios.
