# ESG Carbon Metrics: tCO₂e

## This article explains how Wiserfunding expresses ESG Carbon Metrics using tCO₂e

**Carbon intensity** measures the amount of greenhouse gas emissions generated relative to economic activity.

At Wiserfunding, carbon intensity is expressed as:  
**Tonnes of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) per £1,000 of turnover**

This allows companies of different sizes to be compared on a consistent basis.  
For example:

- Company A emits 100 tonnes of CO₂e and generates £1 million of turnover.
- Company B emits 10,000 tonnes of CO₂e and generates £100 million of turnover.

Although Company B emits more in absolute terms, both companies have the same carbon intensity.

**tCO₂e**

*tCO₂e* stands for **tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent**.

Greenhouse gas emissions include several gases, such as:

Because each gas contributes differently to global warming, emissions are converted into a common unit called CO₂ equivalent (CO₂e). This allows all greenhouse gases to be measured and compared using a single metric.
