RepuTex's Carbon Methodology
RepuTex carbon intensity data is derived from an economic input-output/ life cycle analysis (LCA) model, which analyses economic and environmental interactions throughout the global economy.
RepuTex's value chain approach measures carbon intensity across the entire 'value chain' of a company's business activity (e.g. iron ore mining), measuring direct scope 1 emissions, scope 2 electricity emissions and scope 3 supply chain emissions.
Notably, RepuTex's model is the first of its kind to break down scope 3 supply chain emissions into 'upstream' and 'downstream', enabling more detailed analysis of how, and where companies are likely to be impacted by carbon cost flows.
Downstream emissions arising from the use phase of a product (e.g. coal) are also integrated into RepuTex's model based on analysis of emissions factors and life cycle inventories (LCI).
