Canetic Has Created Its Own Proprietary ESG Analytics Platform Known as ‘Clean Impact Rankings’
The What & Why
The Clean Impact Rankings assess investment vehicles on projected positive carbon impact. The results provide forward-looking snapshots for investors seeking ventures, companies, projects or funds that have a strong tilt towards climate solutions that work.
Our first assessment ranked low carbon mutual funds on the 10-year carbon savings forecast of their investments in pure play renewable energy and cleantech companies. In this assessment, we looked at nearly 90 Morningstar® Medalists that held the Morningstar Low Carbon Designation™ across six diversified equity categories.
In our second assessment we ranked major global oil companies based upon their investments in clean and renewable energy technologies and identified the companies with the efforts that can truly reduce C02 in the environment in the coming ten years.
Canetic Advisors established the Clean Impact Rankings and provide the underlying research and analysis including aggregated insights from cleantech and renewable energy insiders and experts.
Clean Impact Rankings: Low Carbon Mutual Funds
Morningstar® Low Carbon Study
Funds were ranked using an asset-weighted Carbon Abatement ROI score of the equity holdings in the fund from September 30, 2017 through September 30, 2018. Each fund was assigned a quarterly score that was then averaged.
*These companies are key to meeting a 1.5 scenario, however we acknowledge that they are not the only players in climate solutions.
**The Carbon Abatement ROI score is an average of the fund’s quarterly Carbon Abatement ROI from September 30, 2017 to September 30, 2018.
Latest Clean Impact Ranking
Major Oil Company Abatement Potential
Major oil companies were ranked using the estimated value of CO2 abatement they could generate over the coming ten years. Companies were initially identified based on the percentage of capital spending going into the renewables and cleantech. Efforts were studied at the project level where available and both technologies and geographic regions were considered in simulating CO2 abatement. Data is based on year-end 2018 and updated for announced plans for 2019.
The Carbon Abatement ROI is Based On:
The firm’s carbon savings contribution determined by its position in the value chain
The ability of the firm to deliver carbon abatement
CO2 savings values from Canetic’s worldwide proprietary database of emissions factors
