Scope 3 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Now Available within Carbon Footprinting of Private Equity and Debt Funds

Carbon Footprinting of Private Equity and Debt Funds is an analytical product developed by Burgiss and MSCI that enables Limited Partners (LPs) and General Partners (GPs) to measure and monitor greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within private equity and private debt portfolios. This product enables LPs and GPs to understand the emissions generated by their underlying portfolio companies and to aggregate and compare emissions by fund, manager, sector, and other dimensions to identify carbon-intensive investments and support regulatory reporting requirements.

We are excited to announce the addition of Scope 3 GHG emissions estimations to the product with the release on March 11, 2023. Scope 3 refers to all indirect GHG emissions that occur in the underlying portfolio companies’ value chain beyond what is encompassed by Scope 2. This product now covers Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions for over 50,000 active portfolio companies.

Carbon Footprinting of Private Equity and Debt Funds is available as an extension of Burgiss Transparency Data, which is delivered through Burgiss’ Private i® Platform and Caissa Platform, MSCI BarraOne, and MSCI ClimateLab.
