What Metrics Does EcoMap Measure?

MSCI ESG Research LLC provides reported and estimated emissions data:

Greenhouse Gas Emissions aligned with GHG Protocol:

Scope 1:Direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by the company
Scope 2:Indirect emissions resulting from the generation of purchased energy consumed by the company, directly tied to its operations
Scope 3:All other indirect emissions across the company's value chain, both upstream and downstream

We plan to expand the scope of the coverage to include:Air Pollution, Water Consumption, Waste Generation, Land Use and Conversion, and Water Pollution.

Incorporating Environmental Cost in Financial Analysis

Financial Analysis Dashboard

EcoMap enables the alignment of traditional financial metrics with environmental costs, providing a comprehensive view of a company's overall performance. This case study demonstrates how financial analysts can use EcoMap to adjust financial metrics and gain a more accurate understanding of a company's true value creation.

Steps Using EcoMap

  1. Initial Financial Analysis: The financial analyst begins by reviewing a company's traditional financial metrics, focusing on the EBITDA margin of 50%.
  2. Environmental Cost Assessment: Using EcoMap, the analyst examines the company's Operational Environmental Cost Intensity (% of Revenue), which represents the cost of its environmental impacts. EcoMap calculates this as 2% based on the monetized environmental externalities.
  3. Adjusting Financial Metrics: The analyst incorporates the Operational Environmental Cost Intensity (% of Revenue) into the EBITDA calculation. By subtracting the 2% Operational Environmental Cost Intensity (% of Revenue) from the 50% EBITDA margin, they arrive at an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 48%.
  4. Comparative Analysis: The analyst uses EcoMap to compare this adjusted metric with industry peers, gaining insights into the company's relative performance when environmental costs are considered.
  5. Trend Analysis: By examining historical data in EcoMap, the analyst can track how the company's Operational Environmental Cost Intensity (% of Revenue) has changed over time and how it has impacted the adjusted EBITDA margin.

Outcome

By incorporating environmental costs into financial analysis, the analyst provides stakeholders with a more comprehensive view of the company's performance. This Adjusted EBITDA margin of 48% reflects the true value creation by accounting for externalities, offering a more accurate basis for investment decisions and strategic planning.
