Illuminate

How can I track my sustainable performance with Illuminate?

Illuminate helps you track your investment's impact on a daily basis. We provide you with sustainability insights for every company and fund in your portfolio, giving you a clear picture of your investments' sustainability impact.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

  • Scope 1 Emissions - Direct emissions from sources owned by companies in your portfolio
  • Scope 2 Emissions - Indirect emissions from purchased electricity and energy
  • Scope 3 Emissions - All other indirect emissions in a company's value chain, like from their supply chains and how their customers use the products or services

How We Calculate Your Carbon Footprint

Illuminate partners with Matter, a sustainable investment data provider, to calculate carbon footprints. We aggregate emissions data from all holdings in your investment portfolio, incorporating Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, and provide a weighted average result of your investment portfolio's carbon footprint. This weighting means larger portfolio positions proportionally influence the overall carbon footprint calculation more significantly than smaller positions.

Climate Targets

  • Temperature Score - Estimates the global temperature increase that would occur if all companies operated at the same emissions intensity as the company
  • Science Based Targets - Identifies companies committed to emissions reductions validated by scientific standards

Nature

  • Impact on Nature - Shows what percentage of a company's activities pose very high risks to natural ecosystems
  • Dependency on Nature - Shows how reliant companies are on ecosystem services that could be disrupted by environmental change

Energy Transition

  • Fossil Fuel Activities - Identifies companies involved in oil, gas, and coal exploration or production
  • Carbon Bomb - Flags companies involved in fossil fuel projects that will release more than 1 gigaton of CO2
  • High Green Revenues - Spotlights companies generating significant revenue from sustainable products and services

Illuminate aggregates all these metrics across your portfolio, giving you a full view of your investments' sustainability performance in the profile tab of the Illuminate app.
