Where and how do you source your data?

ICE has its own emissions and temperature targets data collection process, which is carried out by its team of data researchers. Researchers collect data from public sources including but not limited to annual reports, financial statements and sustainability reports. The companies identified for emissions data analysis are reviewed annually to ensure comprehensive coverage. The data for each company is independently analysed by two data researchers before going through broader quality assurance and outlier analysis. A component of the analysis includes assessing the completeness of the data reported by each company.
