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:

    • Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
    • Methane (CH₄)
    • Nitrous oxide (N₂O)

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.
