In order to assess the carbon footprint we use scope 1 and 2 emissions of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) : - Scope 1 : Emissions include all direct emissions linked to the combustion of fossil fuel used during production - Scope 2 : Emissions include indirect emissions linked to the production of energy (electricity,…) consumed by the company We measure the carbon footprint for directly held securities only Listed companies for which we cannot retrieve carbon data are removed from the scope of our analysis, their weights are rebased to firms in the same sector in order to maintain the original sector weight The weight of all securities are rebased to obtain a total portfolio weight of 100% The method used to measure the portfolio’s carbon intensity is the weighted average of GHG scope 1 & 2 emissions divided by companies’ revenue: 퐸푚푖푠푠푖표푛푠 (푠푐표푝푒 1+2) 푃표푟푡푓표푙푖표 푐푎푟푏표푛 푖푛푡푒푛푠푖푡푦 = 표푓 푒푎푐ℎ 푠푒푐푢푟푖푡푦 × 푠푒푐푢푟푖푡푦 푤푒푖푔ℎ푡 푅푒푣푒푛푢푒 Companies GHG emissions are highly dependent to their sectors. Some sectors are “structurally” bigger emitters of GHG then other. Lazard Frères Gestion fundamental security selection approach generates sectors exposure gaps between the portfolios and their benchmark. In order to cancel out the gap, we developed a method to adjust the sectors weights of the benchmark so that it is similar to the portfolios. Within each sector of the benchmark, the weight of each securities is maintained. Energy Transition methodology Every issuer in the portfolio is subject to a rating assessing the quality of its energy transition strategy This rating is currently delegated to our partner Vigeo Eiris It is based on the analysis of specific climate change criteria, which result from companies and sectors’ key issues related to energy transition. It measures the companies’ engagement to reduce their carbon footprint and assesses whether they contribute to the international goal of limiting global warning to 2°C by 2050 The portfolio’s contribution toward energy transition is measured as follows: 퐸푛푒푟푔푦 푇푟푎푛푠푖푡푖표푛 푆푐표푟푒 표푓 푡ℎ푒 푃표푟푡푓표푙푖표 = [퐸푛푒푟푔푦 푇푟푎푛푠푖푡푖표푛 푆푐표푟푒 표푓 푒푎푐ℎ 푠푒푐푢푟푖푡푦 × 푠푒푐푢푟푖푡푦 푤푒푖푔ℎ푡] Defined according to the following rating scale: Energy Transition Strategy scale : Catégories Weak Improving Convincing Advanced Score 0-29 30-49 50-59 60-100 LAZARD FRERES GESTION SAS au capital de 14 487 500 € - 352 213 599 RCS Paris - 25 rue de Courcelles 75008 Paris www.lazardfreresgestion.fr.
