Case Study: Summa Equity achieves #1 ESG recognition and portfolio-wide emissions insights with Normative

Summa Equity uses Normative to drive portfolio decarbonization

Summa Equity is a purpose-driven investment firm focused on resource efficiency, changing demographics and tech‑enabled business. They needed a consistent way to compare ESG performance across diverse portfolio companies, so they partnered with Normative as their ESG analytics provider to measure sustainability data and carbon accounting (scope 1, 2 and 3).

Normative implemented portfolio-level ESG analytics, calculating carbon emissions per dollar invested, assessing environmental externalities and mapping results to the SDGs. By using Normative’s analysis Summa Equity could benchmark companies across industries, engage portfolio companies to drive behavior change and carbon-reduction ideas, and become a market leader in ESG—earning industry awards in 2019.
