If Paris Agreement's mitigation goal was a marathon?
What if a company sets relevant GHG reduction targets but inconsistently invests in GHG intensive assets and grows its production faster than its GHG reduction? That might lead to no actual GHG reduction at all, aka setting target but missing the goal!
Carbon neutrality is a marathon for which it’s better to have the relevant equipment and training program to run and end the race.
Setting GHG reduction targets aligned with demanding decarbonisation scenarios should not be just another brick in the company’s GHG disclosure wall. It should lead to actual strategic shifts towards a low carbon economy.
Quantifying GHG emissions and setting GHG reduction targets should be the stepping stones to support and develop a relevant decarbonisation strategy with an associated transition plan and roadmap.
ACT uses measurement as input data. Reporting and commitment are good practices valued in ACT.
MEASUREMENT
Measurement is the first step to reducing environmental impacts, on the basis that 'what gets measured gets managed'. A complete inventory of GHG emissions helps organizations understand their emissions profile and identify opportunities for emissions reduction.



REPORTING
Transparent reporting consistent with climate standards is essential to achieving a low-carbon economy. Stakeholders can hold transparent organizations accountable for their performance, and sharing information brings opportunities to collaborate along the value chain.

COMMITMENT
Public commitments provide a clear sense of direction to an organization and its stakeholders. Setting science-based targets and defining the appropriate means to achieve them lays out the pathway to meaningful climate action.

ACCOUNTABILITY
Accountability is needed to ensure the commitments of companies deliver the low carbon economy. ACT uses climate transition scenarios to define the specific level of ambition required for each sector.
For early-stage companies that wish to develop a low carbon strategy.
For companies that have science based targets or a transition plan ready to be tested.
ACT is a welcomed initiative as it takes a holitic approach to corporates decarbonization and goes beyond transparency requiremens to ensure the companies' performance and alignment with a low-carbon transition"
Charlotte Gardes, Deputy Head of the Financial Stability, French Finance Ministry.
So what does ACT provide ?
Developed with businesses and key sectors’ stakeholders, ACT methodologies and tools represent the only international climate accountability system to support companies’ progress by developing coherent and yet ambitious decarbonisation strategies and providing independent assessment. The ACT Framework answers 5 key questions regarding companies climate strategies:
COMMITMENT
Has your company committed to a low-carbon future vision?
Are your emissions reduction targets ambitious enough to get there?
How quickly are you planning to act?
TRANSITION PLAN
Do you have a transition plan to achieve your low-carbon vision?
Will it drive the evolution of your business?
PRESENT
Does your current strategy lead to a decrease in emissions in the short-term?
Are your investment decisions today made with the long-term future in mind?
LEGACY
How does the business decisions you made in the past influence your emissions trajectory?
CONSISTENCY
Is your business strategy consistent with your emissions reduction targets?
Do any of your activities undermine your ability to reach a low-carbon future?
Corporate Climate Strategy
Targets, Material Investment, R&D, Sold Product Performance, Management, Supplier Engagement, Clients Engagement, Policy Engagement, Business Model
The ACT assessment provided us very interesting and useful feedback on our carbon strategy. In particular, the quantitative assessment of emissions reduction targets is a valuable input into our ongoing process of defining a new low carbon strategy and management process.”
Jean-Philippe Hermine, Environment, Strategy and Planification Director, Renault.
ACT Adaptation methodology experimentation
The ACT Initiative is launching in Q2 an experimentation of its complementary method addressing corporate climate adaptation accountability.
Indeed, despite recommendations from TCFD and the Europe Commission work on CSRD standards, there is no framework covering adaptation issues for companies.
Watch the replay of our webinar to learn all things about ACT Adaptation methodology, the benefits for companies to join the experimentation and the schedule for this project.
Read the new ACT Adaptation Methodology.

Consultation on Proposed Update of Qualitative Modules
What is this consultation about? The Assessing low-Carbon Transition (ACT) initiative is proposing an update of four of the qualitative modules that form part of the ACT Performance score. These modules appear in the same form in many of the ACT Methodologies, though some have sector-specific elements. The modules proposed to be updated are: Module […]
READ MORE »Release of the ACT Iron & Steel methodology
The ACT Initiative is glad to announce the release of the ACT Iron & Steel methodology! Steel production is highly energy- and emissions-intensive; among heavy industries, the iron and steel sector ranks first when it comes to CO2 emissions, and second when it comes to energy consumption. The low-carbon transition of the Iron & Steel […]

ACT assesses company’s decarbonization strategy and associated transition plan in regard to its decarbonization challenges. To do so, ACT compares, among other things, greenhouse gas emissions targets and performance of companies against theoretical trajectories, which are obtained thanks to “allocation methods”. This paper aims at clarifying the way greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions trajectories are defined […]

Comparing the 2019 and 2020 Climate and Energy Automotive Benchmarks. China, Japan, South Korea and the European Union are some of the world’s biggest car markets. One other thing they all now have in common is a commitment to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 or 2060. The second biggest car market in the world, the […]
READ MORE »Utilities are not planning properly for the electricity system of the future: new ACT benchmark by WBA
Transforming electricity systems is crucial to decarbonisation. In 2018, 62.9% of global electricity was still generated from fossil fuels, but low-carbon generation, particularly from wind and solar, is growing significantly. Excitingly, electrification can enable other high emitting sectors such as autos or heat to slash emissions, but only if emissions from electricity generation are reduced. […]
