Green Revenues (LCE) data model
Measuring green revenue generation
Overview
Features
FTSE Russell’s Green Revenues (LCE) data model is designed to measure the
revenue exposure of public companies engaged in the transition to the green
economy and allows you to design, build and analyze your portfolios, baskets or
indexes with this measure in mind.
With a straightforward, intuitive user interface and comprehensive Low
Carbon Economy Industrial Classification System™ ( LCE ICS™), the data
model captures a new measure of green revenue exposure – the shifts in the
revenue mix of companies from green goods, products and services.
Capturing these shifts allows investors to quantify the pace and scale of a
company’s transition to the green economy.

LOWCII™ factor methodology
A LOWCII™ green exposure factor is calculated for each company between
zero and 100% of revenues. This unique factor is the total of revenues
generated by the company from any of the 60 subsectors in any single fiscal
year. Factors can be mapped over time; calculated across any of the 60 LCE
subsectors or 8 broad green sectors; and aggregated by company size,
traditional industrial classifications, country, region or globally.
Strong governance
The Low Carbon Economy Industrial Classification System (LCE ICS™) is
governed by the FTSE ICB Advisory Committee which is instrumental in
ensuring that the classification system is in accordance with best practice
and is relevant to market needs.

13,400 public companies
Broad coverage of nearly 98.5% of the
total global market capitalization capturing
over 13,400 public companies across 48
developed and emerging markets.
2,400 companies generating green
revenues
All 13,400+ companies are analyzed
and classified using LCE ICS™ . Over
2,400 companies have been identified
as engaging in green activities from
one or more of the 60 LCE subsectors.
At a granular level, more than 250,000
lines of sub segment revenue data has
been captured and modelled through a
rules-based, transparent process.
60 LCE subsectors
When a company’s activity is identified
as LCE eligible, it is potentially mapped
to multiple LCE subsectors providing the
company has revenue exposure to the
relevant goods, products and services.
Revenues are captured at any level in excess
of 0.01% of a company’s total revenue.
7 years of green revenues
A detailed 7 year corporate financial history
dating back to 2008 allows users to identify
and analyze the structural shift to a green
economy across public companies.

Understanding the LCE
Industrial Classification
System (LCE ICS™)

impact of climate change, resource depletion
and environmental erosion.
Goods

The hierarchical structure of LCE ICS™
recognizes 8 sectors and 60 subsectors,
giving greater granularity and precision in
classifying companies.
