Brief description of the data offering
Our Carbon Footprint is a Climate approach developed in 2017 and operated by Iceberg Data Lab. It calculates the carbon footprint of each corporates through a bottom-up approach allowing to distinguish issuers based on the impact of their product flows throughout their value chain (scope 3). Our model also calculates the biodiversity footprint of issuers, allowing to have consistent dataset on these two thematic.
This dataset allows Financial institutions (Banks & Asset Managers) to calculate the carbon footprint of their portfolio and to integrate these data into their decision-making processes.
Where and how do you source your data?
We use only public sources to source our data and each line is updated at least once a year.
What is the cost for your data offering?
The cost depends on the number of lines subscribed, as it is tailored to our clients’ needs.
What are the key attributes that differentiates the data you offer?
Iceberg Data Lab’s metrics are based on a robust scientific methodology constantly improved by a research team and reviewed by a scientific committee. As we do not have any business or advisory relationships with issuers, there will be no conflict of interests. Besides, the model is unified for climate and biodiversity to align with the regulator’s demands.
The model reports a full coverage of scopes 1, 2, 3, upstream and downstream. Covering all scopes is important as it can be misleading to only report on a companies’ direct emissions. For example, in some cases, scope 3 downstream can represent 90% of a companies’ total emissions. A data quality level is also reported to show the level of modelled and reported data.
We have an unbeatable granularity level covering all sectors and over 2,300 products and services. Additionally, we enable to appraise different products and services in the same sector and, therefore, identifying contributors to transition. Our model is also scalable to other environmental impact measures (i.e. waste, water, impact on human health) and can easily be derived to produce new indicators.
The Implied Temperature Rise and Carbon Footprint are calculated by the cumulated overshoot/undershoot from 2010 to 2050 of carbon emissions relative to the temperature trajectory that the company should follow to converge by 2050 (versus a sectoral average). The results are shown in both GHG emissions and temperature alignment for 1,5 °C and 2 °C.

Factoring in All 3 scopes to measure the carbon footprint of a company has always been part of our DNA. Iceberg Data Lab is now pleased to offer Scope 4 or Avoided emissions datasets with unrivalled granularity. It can be scaled up to a portfolio level and/or fund level.
