75:(2011). The original book proposed the concept of Environmental Tracking, which envisaged using the power of the stock market, primarily through index funds, as a means to incentivise companies to reduce their emissions. In the book Gill proposed the creation of an Environmental Scoring Panel (ESP), which would evaluate companies based on a range of environmental criteria. This environmental scoring would then be used to weight companies within an index. With the emergence of climate change as the overriding concern of the 21st century, however, the concept was refined to focus specifically on corporate greenhouse gas emissions. This was also facilitated by improved rates of corporate emissions disclosure as witnessed by response rates to the

emissions which were verified to a 'reasonable level of assurance' by an independent third party. Since then, the methodology has been changed to rank companies according to emissions intensity. From 2011 the methodology was changed to include Scope 3 emissions following the publication of the GHG Protocol
Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard.

The EIO launched its pilot rankings in 2010. These included the ET Europe 300, North
America 300, Asia-Pacific 300, BRIC 100, ET Global 1000, and ET Global 800. The pilot rankings were based on absolute emissions across Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. The EIO methodology at the time only accepted Scope 3
