Building icon with a tree to measure the company's carbon footprint

Measure and reduce the carbon footprint

Given the urgency of the climate change and its social ramifications, we inform our clients and investors on the effects of their investments.

Our analysis is primarily focused on the products carbon footprint since it is a recognized scientific metric and because it can be aggregated into large portfolios thanks to an aggregation mechanism.

Pick specific and actionable topics

The oceans are the largest carbon sinks and shall be preserved. To contribute, we have developed two investment solutions:

Proprietary index: Ocean Care. It consists of businesses chosen based on 13 standards for minimal impact on the oceans.
An investment strategy providing access to listed companies around the world which all have in common to positively impact or, at least, do not harm on the ocean.
