We provide a comprehensive database of carbon footprints based on our Carbon Impact Analytics (CIA) methodology, thus measuring contribution to the transition towards a low-carbon economy, and the inherent exposure to transition risks. Precise metrics enhance investment decisions, climate risk management, alignment with the low carbon transition and sustainable finance reporting.


In addition to induced emissions, we calculate emissions savings - which comprise reduced emissions based on process efficiency improvement over several years, and avoided emissions resulting from the company’s activities or products.

Euronext’s Low Carbon 100 Europe PAB Index

Euronext was the first stock exchange operator to launch a pan-European CO2 emission index in 2008, designed specifically with the support of a group of international experts, and in close partnership with NGOs.

In 2015, Euronext renewed the index methodology. It selected Carbon4 Finance to create its Low Carbon 100 index, made up of 100 very liquid European companies selected according to their environmental approach.



For the first time, a low-carbon index goes beyond selection of companies with a limited carbon impact, and encompasses companies which are making a positive contribution to the climate transition, not only through their operational performance, but also, where appropriate, thanks to the products sold to their customers. 




The Low Carbon index 100 Europe® was the first in the world built to reflect an investment trajectory compatible with the 2 degrees pathway.
