Tellus data hub

What data is available?

The data available in Tellus covers a wide range of topics, such as ESG metrics (carbon emissions, gender diversity, norms-based screening etc), Sustainable Development Goals impacts, EU Taxonomy eligibility and alignment and Biodiversity impacts to name a few. Data is collected and estimated on an entity level, such as companies or real estate, and calculated on fund and portfolio levels.

Portfolio calculations are based on reported company data and estimation models developed in-house. The reported and estimated data allows for measurement of:

• ESG Metrics

  Environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects of company operations are measured on portfolio level. We are calculating factors such as aggregated carbon intensity, water consumption, gender equality and board independence.
  
  

• SDG Impact

  The impacts of the products and services that a company provides are assessed to determine the total impacts of the investments on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A mapping of such impacts was developed by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Both the positive and negative impacts on the SDGs are assessed.
  
  

• EU Taxonomy

  The EU Taxonomy aims to define environmentally sustainable economic activities. In the SEB Tellus Data Hub, a portfolio aggregated level eligibility and alignment can be assessed, using both reported and estimated data.
  
  

• Biodiversity impacts and dependencies

  Our biodiversity model measures impacts and dependencies on natural capital and ecosystem services and is based on the UNEP FI promoted ENCORE tool, mapped together with revenue data on a company level.
  
  

• A data hub with multiple functions

  The Tellus data hub can be used to provide SEB’s customers with portfolio analyses and periodic reports, to design new portfolios, and to set internal key performance indicators for existing portfolios. Furthermore, the data can facilitate dialogues between portfolio managers and companies.
