The Challenge

The complexity behind portfolio emissions

Investment managers need to understand emissions and potential modern slavery risks across portfolios with varied assets, uneven data and multiple reporting needs.

Financed emissions require asset-specific measurement methods. Modern slavery risk assessments draw on sector, geography and supply chain intelligence to identify where further investigation is needed.
Company disclosures vary in availability and detail. Estimates and risk intelligence help address gaps, but their sources, assumptions and limitations need to be clear.
Internal reviewers, investors and assurance teams need to understand how results were reached. Scattered sources and undocumented assumptions make that harder.
An ongoing challenge for assurance teams
Assurance teams must also validate the underlying calculations, methodologies and supporting evidence across diverse portfolios.
Common feedback from assurance teams:
“
One of the biggest challenges with assuring financed emissions is the time spent tracing calculations back to their sources. We often need to locate issuer disclosures ourselves, request supporting information and verify different methodologies across a wide range of asset classes. This increases assurance costs for clients and makes it harder to obtain the evidence needed to support an assurance conclusion.
See what drives emissions and risk
Explore financed emissions and potential modern slavery risks across holdings. Identify emissions hotspots and higher-risk issuers and supply chains to inform analysis and due diligence.
Work with the data available
Combine reported emissions with estimates where data is missing. Use modern slavery risk intelligence to identify potential exposure beyond company disclosures.
Keep the evidence in view
Review the data, sources and methodologies behind your analysis. Support reporting, internal review and further investigation with traceable evidence.
how it works

From holdings data to portfolio intelligence

01

Define your portfolio

Set up schemes, funds and reporting needs. Identify the holdings and exposures to assess for financed emissions and modern slavery risk.

02

Connect the underlying data

Match holdings to issuers and instruments. Access emissions and financial data through Generate Zero’s Global Business Carbon Database, alongside modern slavery risk intelligence.

03

Measure emissions and assess risk

Calculate financed emissions using relevant Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) methodologies. Assess potential modern slavery risks using holdings, supplier data and sector and geographic intelligence.

04

Analyse and report

Explore emissions results and risk findings across your portfolio. Investigate changes, prioritise due diligence and prepare information for reporting and review.
