Are corporate emissions data reliable? Investors seek certainty
Leer
MSCI Sustainability and Climate has found inconsistencies in corporate reports on carbon emissions. The analysis of nearly 98,000 annual declarations and 61,000 climate goals from around 11,000 listed companies revealed that about 36% of Scope 1 and 2 emission disclosures did not specify their operational coverage. Additionally, 47% of Scope 2 emissions reports did not state the method used, and 56% of climate goals did not explicitly state the percentage of emissions covered.
MSCI notes that while artificial intelligence can help with data interpretation, producing suitable climate data requires significant human judgment and collaboration.
