Emmi vs The Market : A Clear Comparison

Emmi and MSCI Climate Solutions both offer climate and emissions data, yet we tackle the challenge using different approaches. Recognising the implications of these differences is important for investors in selecting the right solution.

Emmi

Emmi delivers the market’s most accurate and comprehensive emissions data set. With full asset class coverage and a machine learning engine built by climate finance experts, Emmi supports climate reporting and investment decision-making in one solution.

We take a clear, data-driven approach, using company financials and real-world emissions data to produce investment-grade insights that outperform the 'market’s' traditional models.

What is "The Market"

Most providers rely on factor-based models that estimate emissions using sector-wide averages. Factor-based (intensity) models apply emissions factors per dollar of revenue, ignoring company-specific operations, scale, and performance. While a few are beginning to explore machine learning (what Emmi does), it's far from the norm. This leaves a market dominated by factor-based models that rely on assumptions and static frameworks, resulting in gaps. Emmi challenges that status quo with a transparent, adaptive approach built for the complexity of modern portfolios.
