Calculate your carbon-adjusted financial result.

This is an innovative model for measuring the financial risk associated to the climate. For a simple and accessible result, the result is converted into an Axylia® Carbon Score distributed on a scale from A to F.

What's the point ?

  1. 1. Assess your financial performance including CO2 emissions
  2. 2. Compare your adjusted carbon result against the competition
  3. 3. Project yourself into a 2030 vision thanks to the Axylia Dynamic Carbon Score
  4. 4. Evaluate the compatibility of your trajectory with the objectives of the Paris Agreement
  5. 5. Model your performance and your resistance capacities according to the evolution of the price of carbon
  6. 6. Communicate on a simple and controllable indicator

How it works

The Carbon Score calculated in 5 steps.

Calculate a Carbon Score
step 1

Data taken into account

CO2 emissions are calculated using Trucost data by incorporating all scopes including scope 3 which represents, on average, 80% of a company's emissions.

Carbon Bill's calculation

These CO2 emissions are multiplied by the cost of carbon published by the IPCC, i.e. €127/tonne. We thus obtain the carbon bill.

step 2
step 3

Obtaining the financial result carbon adjusted.

This carbon bill is deducted from the company's EBITDA. This is referred to as “carbon-adjusted” EBITDA.

Financial risk assessment

Carbon-adjusted EBITDA is related to EBITDA in order to deduce the financial risk linked to Carbon which weighs on the profitability of the company.

step 4
step 5

Carbon Score's allocation

This financial risk gives the Axylia Carbon Score® which varies from A to F. Greater the risk is, closer the company's Carbon Score will be to F. If a company is not transparent, the Score will be ND.

step 6

Data taken into account

After calculating a company's Carbon Score, we estimate its 2030 EBITDA, based on S&P consensus.

Carbon footprint's calculation

We take into account companies' greenhouse gas reduction commitments on their short-term objectives, i.e. 2030. For example, if a company undertakes to reduce its scopes 1,2 and 3 by 30%, then we reduce its 2020 carbon footprint by 30%, to obtain that of 2030.

step 7
step 8

CO2 cost's calculation

We are increasing CO2's price by 6% per year on scope 1 and 2, to reach €150 in 2025, according to IPCC recommendations. Scope 3's price increases by 3% per year.

Carbon Bill's calculation

Then, with this data, we recalculate the company's carbon bill, by multiplying the price per ton of CO2 and the carbon footprint of 2030. Then, we compare the bill to the EBITDA consensus

step 9
step 10

Carbon Score's allocation

Depending on the result of step 9, we assign a Dynamic Carbon Score 2030 for the company. Located between A/B or C, the company will be able to pay its carbon bill. Conversely, with a score of D/E or F, the company will still not be able to pay it.

How it works ?

For several years, there has been a lot of talk about CO2 emissions, the climate and the companies themselves do not hesitate to communicate figures and data, according to calculation methods and analysis criteria which are not always very clear. For investors wishing to invest responsibly but also for individuals wishing to find out more, we have created the Axylia Carbon Score®.

The Axylia Carbon Score® assesses, on a scale from A to F, a company's ability to pay its carbon bill. Once certified, the carbon-adjusted result indicates to investors and individuals whether a company is profitable in relation to its carbon impact.

The IPCC suggests that the turn to reduce emissions must be taken before 2030. This is the horizon that we use to calculate the Dynamic Carbon Score.

The Dynamic Carbon Score is an indicator developed by Axylia based on the Carbon Score. It highlights companies that make the most effort and improve their Carbon Score to reach A, B or C in 2030. We thus highlight the progress of carbon emissions (scope 1, 2 and 3) of companies in time, taking into account their climate commitments over several years.
