Revenue intensity
Carbon / $m revenue
208tCO2e / $m

Carbon per million dollars of revenue. The legacy industry-standard reference (CDP, MSCI). Useful for cross-sector context, but distorted by margin — high-margin firms appear artificially efficient. Read alongside the operational and asset intensities for the full picture.

Operational intensity
Carbon / $m OpEx
407tCO2e / $m

OpEx (operating expenditure) is the running cost of the business — staff, services, energy, materials. This shows how carbon-intensive operations are per million dollars of spend. Removes the margin distortion that revenue-based ratios introduce.

Economic intensity
Carbon / $m EVIC
17.0tCO2e / $m

EVIC (Enterprise Value Including Cash) is the firm's total capital footprint — equity + debt + cash + minority interest. The EU's standard intensity measure (SFDR PAI 3) — answers: how much carbon does each million of capital deployed in this business produce?

Top quartile

best 14.7n=6 peersworst 234
Asset intensity
Carbon / $m PP&E + leased
2.2ktCO2e / $m

PP&E (Property, Plant & Equipment) plus leased real-estate assets is the firm's physical infrastructure on the balance sheet. This shows the carbon intensity of that physical footprint — uses Scope 1+2+3 for consistency with the other headline intensities. Surfaces stranded-asset risk for asset-heavy firms.

Asset intensity (full)
Carbon / $m PP&E + leased S3
tCO2e / $m

Carbon per million dollars of physical infrastructure — PP&E plus leased real-estate, including upstream and downstream leased emissions (Scope 3 categories 8 + 13). The most complete view of physical-asset carbon intensity, relevant for REITs and infrastructure-heavy firms.
