Financed emissions refer to greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from a financial asset, such as shares or corporate bonds. Emissions from investments are attributed to the asset manager according to the proportionate share of the investment in the issuer. The methodology used to calculate financed emissions follows the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF), an industry-led partnership established to develop and implement a harmonized approach to quantifying financed emissions.

GHG emissions can be direct or indirect, and are distinguished according to their source over three different scopes:
• Scope 1: emissions that enter the atmosphere as a direct consequence of resources owned and controlled by the organization (e.g. emissions linked to its industrial processes)
• Scope 2: indirect emissions arising from the organization's energy use
• Scope 3: all indirect emissions associated with the organization's value chain, but which cannot be classified as scope 1 or scope 2 emissions

The estimated result on December 31, 2024 represents the change in the ETF's financed emissions relative its index's financed emissions on the base year 2020, calculated using the PCAF methodology. The ETF's financed emissions include those related to scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions for all companies in the portfolio, and scope 3 emissions for the energy (oil & gas), mining and chemicals sectors. Total financed emissions are the sum of financed emissions attributed to each company in the portfolio, which are the product of an attribution factor and annual emissions declared by the company. The attribution factor is obtained by calculating the ratio between the value of the units held by the ETF and the value of the company financed. The value of the units held by the ETF is defined on the basis of the market value for listed shares or the book value of the debt for bonds. The company value ("EVIC") is the sum of the market capitalization of common and preferred shares at the end of the last fiscal year, the book value of total debt, minority interests and cash. Data provider MSCI provides reported GHG emissions from portfolio companies. If this datapoint is not available, sector average intensity is used: this is the average intensity per Canadian EVIC dollar by GICS sub-sector, calculated from the emissions data available in the MSCI ACWI IMI index. Data provider Bloombegr provides company values. If this datapoint is not available, MSCI is used.

No representations or warranties, express or implied, are made by Desjardins in connection with the exactitude, quality or completeness of such information and data. Should these differ from official carbon intensity data, the latter will prevail.
