Our Methodology
How we determine climate impact
Data that measures a company's impact on climate change has been around for years — it just wasn't available in a way that's easy for you to use.
GreenPortfolio plugs this information into its proprietary calculation to score public companies and banks for climate impact.
Our methodology focuses on three categories
Business Operations
Emissions
Future Plans
How the GreenPortfolio Score is unique
Climate First Approach
Our calculation focuses on understanding if a company is helping or hurting the planet, unlike ESG ratings which focus on risk mitigation instead of impact.
Transparent
We provide you with the reasoning behind our score, along with explanations of any assumptions or estimates made along the way.
Comprehensive
We’re not just covering investments. We also rate the banks and financial providers themselves so you can understand the impact of your savings account or credit card fees.
Personalized
We map our scoring to your investments and accounts and generate your personal climate impact score.
