Listed Equity & Corporate Bonds

Attribution factor calculated per PCAF v2.0. The platform applies the correct denominator for this asset class - no manual formula selection.

Attribution Formula

Outstanding ÷ EVIC

Import holding data

Outstanding, counterparty, sector

Data Quality

Numbers your assurer will sign off on.

Every holding scored on two independent axes. The weakest link governs — no hiding poor denominator data behind good emissions data.

DQ 1

Verified

DQ 2

Built for the workflow

Not just the calculation.
