Background
The Climate Action 100+ Net Zero Company Benchmark was launched in March 2021 to assess the performance of the world’s largest corporate greenhouse gas emitters on their net zero transition, and against the initiative’s three high-level goals: emissions reduction, governance, and disclosure. Since then, it has evolved into its third iteration, Benchmark 2.0, the key changes detailed below.
It is not a disclosure mechanism or database itself. Rather, it is an evaluation tool for investor engagement that can be used by investors, all of whom will have differing mandates and starting points together with considerations of jurisdiction, regulation and best practice, from which they make their own decisions.
It draws on distinct analytical methodologies and datasets from public and self-disclosed data from companies, categorised into two types of indicators:
- Disclosure Framework Indicators, which evaluate the adequacy of corporate disclosure
- Alignment Assessments, which evaluate the alignment of company actions with the Paris Agreement goals.
The Disclosure Framework is assessed by the Transition Pathway Initiative Global Climate Transition Centre (TPI Centre) and FTSE Russell. Alignment Assessments are provided by Carbon Tracker Initiative (CTI), InfluenceMap and the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI)
The latest Benchmark assessments, published in October 2022, cover 159 focus companies.* By accessing the Benchmark, you agree to be bound by the data usage terms and conditions and company review and redress processes.
