Carbon Footprinting of Private Equity and Debt Funds in the Private i Platform

Together, MSCI Inc. and Burgiss launched Carbon Footprinting of Private Equity and Debt Funds, a new analytical tool that enables institutional asset owners and managers to better understand the impact of climate change on private asset portfolios. Accessed through the new Holdings-based Carbon Footprint Analysis dashboard, the tool provides the market’s first carbon measurement for private equity and debt funds and combines private company data from Burgiss with modeling developed by MSCI ESG Research for estimating corporate carbon emissions. It enables investors to build private asset portfolios based on insight into how climate risk may affect valuations, capture clean-energy opportunities and align with global temperature targets.

The Holdings-based Carbon Footprint Analysis dashboard is available to subscribers who license both Carbon Footprinting of Private Equity and Debt Funds and Burgiss Transparency Data. The tool is also compatible with MSCI Risk Management and other third-party platforms. To learn more about Carbon Footprinting of Private Equity and Debt Funds, click here.
