Underlying company reports for currently owned and potential investments can be analyzed to determine their environmental impact through emissions. This can be difficult and time consuming where relevant data is not readily available and where investments are essentially products of multiple underlying assets.
Fortunately, services exist that undertake this analysis to provide environmental and moral metric scoring for investments. Community driven and AI document mining efforts will make this type of transparency more prevalent moving forward. An example of this initiative is the ‘As You Sow’ non-profit organization that provides the Fossil Free Fundssite allowing to gauge the carbon footprint of a stock ticker or investment fund name.
