The Climate Action 100+ Net Zero Company Benchmark assesses the performance of focus companies against the initiative’s three high-level goals: emissions reduction, governance, and disclosure on and implementation of net zero transition plans. Four sets of company assessments against the Benchmark have been released since March 2021.
The Benchmark 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. Investors always act independently, including with respect to investment decisions and voting.
Latest Findings – October 2024The fifth round of Climate Action 100+ Net Zero Company Benchmark assessments were released in October 2024. You can download a summary of the findings below. Benchmark assessments are conducted on an annual basis. CA100+ is currently consulting with our research partners on feedback provided to us before early August 2024 and preparing for the next launch of assessments which will take place in October 2025. Please contact us via [email protected] if you have questions. |
The Benchmark draws on distinct analytical methodologies and 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 and FTSE Russell, an LSEG business. Alignment Assessments are provided by the Carbon Tracker Initiative, InfluenceMap and the Rocky Mountain Institute.
