Study Notes
Assessing Investment Portfolio Temperature Alignment
- The entire value chain of a company includes direct emissions, upstream emissions, and downstream emissions.
- The study aims to increase transparency on methods available to investors to measure the alignment of their portfolios with low-carbon trajectories or temperature goals.
- The report tested eleven methods on the Euronext LC100 and SBF 120 indices in 2018 and 2019.
- Participating organizations in the study include Arabesque S-Ray, Carbon4 Finance, CDP-WWF, EcoAct, and others.
- The study found that there is a wide range of methods used by investors and data providers, which can yield widely different results for the same portfolio.
- The study emphasizes that the assessment of temperature alignment is more of an art than a science at the moment.
- The report includes a non-exhaustive list of questions that existing methods can answer regarding portfolio temperature alignment.
- The analysis of the Euronext LC100 and SBF120 indices revealed the relationship between temperature scores and science-based targets.
- The regulatory context for the study includes European and French regulations, and there is a focus on the Taxonomy, with a definition, implications, and a case study.
- The report highlights the importance of careful consideration with the Implied Temperature Rise metric, as this type of assessment is not an end or sufficient in itself.
- The report aims to provide decision-makers and practitioners with a good understanding of temperature alignment assessments and how they are built.
- The study emphasizes the need for decision-makers to carefully consider the methods and frameworks available to measure the alignment of their investment portfolio with a temperature trajectory.
