Formula

P = (E_included ÷ E_total) × 100

Divide the compatible gross exposure included in the financed-emissions measurement by total gross exposure for the same boundary and date, then multiply by 100. No zero-denominator or rounding rule is inferred.

Evidence and status sources

Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: Sustopedia financial-sector financed-emissions profile, version 1.1, reviewed 2026-09-01 against the December 2025 primary amendment.

  • Included and total gross-investment-exposure amounts.
  • Investment perimeter and reporting date.
  • Currency, scale and asset-class treatment: Loans, bonds, equity investments and undrawn loan commitments.
  • If coverage is below 100%, the types of assets excluded.
  • Selected industry-classification system and version.
  • Why the selected classification system enables users to understand exposure to climate-related transition risks, including whether a commonly used system was prioritised.
  • Whether the entity elected to exclude greenhouse-gas emissions attributable to derivatives.
  • What the entity treated as a derivative when applying the exclusion.
  • Financial activities excluded from the financed-emissions boundary, including activities associated with derivatives.

Record-specific limitations

  • A zero denominator has no source-defined numeric result.
  • Coverage does not measure investment emissions intensity, data quality or target progress.

Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.

Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
