Climate Action Plan Progress Highlights
Reducing our portfolio carbon footprint
We annually calculate and report our portfolio carbon footprint, which is an analysis of the emissions associated with our investments. Our portfolio carbon footprint decreased by 4% in 2022 from our 2021 baseline, driven primarily by portfolio changes as well as a reduction in emissions intensity within many of our asset subclasses.
We are committed to continuously improving the quality of our data and methodology for determining our carbon footprint. In 2022, we revised our process to estimate with greater accuracy the GHG emissions of investee companies that do not disclose this data. To maintain comparability in our year-over-year reporting and the integrity of our targets, we have restated our 2021 footprint under the revised methodology.
