SBTi Data & Net Zero Targeting

Measure, analyse and report on 100% of your operational and financed emissions.

Financed emissions are central to your footprint.

Like all businesses, venture capital and private equity investors generate emissions from their own operations (e.g. office energy, travel, procurement), but they're also responsible for some emissions from their portfolio companies, known as "financed emissions" (scope 3, category 15 in a GHG Protocol compliant footprint).

Accounting for financed emissions is central to a comprehensive and compliant footprint that:

Meets growing demands from regulators and LPs.
Empowers portfolio companies to drive their sustainability strategies.
Genuinely contributes towards solving the climate crisis.
