The aim of this call for projects is to increase the number of companies that adopt decarbonization strategies and relevant transition plans, and report transparently on their strategy. For this call for projects, two types of set-up are favored in order to encourage the emergence of collective projects:

Collective projects led by prime contractors (large companies) wishing to decarbonize their value chain by supporting their suppliers with the ACT initiative.

Collective projects led by entities with the legitimacy to mobilize companies on the subject of decarbonization. These entities may include associations, banks, investors, federations, technical centers or engineering firms.
