"Green" investing has been challenging to quantify. For a long time, green activities were identified based on concepts or principles rather than a specific classification system. With considerable thought, LSEG developed a structure, measurement methodology and process to meet client demand for quality data to help accurately size and monitor aggregate and individual contribution to the growing green economy.
LSEG has been researching and developing green industry taxonomies since it launched the FTSE Environmental Markets Index Series and accompanying Environmental Markets Classification System more than a decade ago. This classification system was developed to identify products and services that have a net positive environmental impact.
LSEG has since extended the family of green taxonomies with the Green Revenues Classification System (GRCS), incorporating evolving global standards and best practices. Companies are researched and analysed based on their impact on climate change mitigation and adaptation, water, resource use, pollution and agricultural efficiency.
The Green Revenues data model provides granularity and precision to meet global demand for investment in the green economy and global climate and sustainability reporting.
Green Revenues data is available via flexible delivery through LSEG Workspace, LSEG Data Platform, LSEG DataStream, LSEG Quantitative Analytics and via Snowflake. Data items include:
- Tier1, Tier2 and Tier3 Green Revenue Percentage
- Minimum and Maximum Green Revenue Percentage Ex Nuclear
