Key Findings: Net Zero Company Benchmark

The Climate Action 100+ Net Zero Company Benchmark was first launched in March 2021 to establish a high ambition for focus companies across all sectors and regions around the world in aligning their businesses with a net zero emissions future. 

The Benchmark builds on the high-level engagement goals of Climate Action 100+: improving climate change governance, cutting emissions in line with the Paris Agreement and strengthening climate-related financial disclosures. 

It codifies what companies should do so investors can have confidence that they have developed comprehensive net zero transition plans.
