Companies are central to the transformation of society
and have a key role to play in the transition to the low carbon economy.
Conscious of the current paradigm shift and desiring to play a role in it, thousands of companies mobilised during COP21 to make robust commitments to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and to transform their business model.
To continue to move forward and adopt increasingly ambitious long term emissions pathways, putting us on the path towards 1.5/ 2ºC, in the spirit of transparency and trust that characterised the Paris Agreement, it is essential we are able to assess the credibility of corporate climate strategies and the consistency of their commitments. This is what ACT’s holistic and sector-based assessment methodologies offer. This remarkable and highly promising tool, deserves that as many companies as possible adopt it, implement it and refine it, for it to eventually become a real driver of change.
