Brief description of the data offering

Iceberg Data Lab offers Sovereign environmental indicators, including the CBF and SB2A products, allowing users to assess the environmental impact of sovereign issuers and enabling analysis at both country/sovereign bonds and aggregated portfolio levels.

The approach is grounded in the same EMMRIO (Environmental Extended Multi-Regional Input-Output) model that underpins IDL’s corporate data suite. This model captures physical flows (goods/services produced and consumed) and links them to environmental pressures such as land use, water pollution, air pollution, and climate impacts. Key units, like square kilometers MSA (Mean Species Abundance), are used and recognized in biodiversity reporting.⁠

Where and how do you source your data?

Company-reported data and sustainability reports, when available and reliable. If company data is not available or incomplete, IDL models the data using sector-, commodity-, and geography-specific parameters.⁠⁠​

Open-source databases provided by governments, central banks, and scientific organizations.⁠⁠​

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) databases and financial/environmental datasets for product-level impacts.⁠⁠​

Physical flows and input-output models (such as our proprietary Wunderpus model) to estimate emissions through the entire value chain, covering scopes 1, 2, and 3 for high granularity and sector comparability.⁠⁠⁠⁠​

Independent scientific studies and internationally recognized frameworks (e.g., IPCC, IEA, SBTi, TNFD, PBAF) for methodologies and benchmark data.⁠
