Aligning companies’ low-carbon strategies with the Paris Agreement is essential to achieving the global climate targets aimed at limiting global warming to well below 2 °C compared with pre-industrial levels.

Since 2023, ADEME has been conducting annual assessments of climate strategies to evaluate the credibility of the transition plans drawn up by French and European companies. Its international partner, the World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA), has also been carrying out numerous assessments of global companies since 2021, based on publicly available data and covering various key sectors.

These assessments are based on the ACT (Accelerate Climate Transition) methodology developed by ADEME and CDP. This approach enables an in-depth analysis of the consistency and robustness of transition pathways, taking into account companies’ past, present and future strategies.

Furthermore, some companies committed to the low-carbon transition of their operations choose to voluntarily submit their climate strategy to an ACT assessment. This proactive approach enables them to challenge their ambitions, identify areas for improvement and enhance the transparency of their low-carbon trajectories, whilst demonstrating their alignment with stakeholder expectations and the objectives of the Paris Agreement.

  1. Prior to the entry into force of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) in 2025, which provides a common framework enabling stakeholders to access standardized information, this involves assessing the adequacy of available information to conduct a relevant analysis of companies’ transition plans;
  2. Producing an individual assessment of the strengths and areas for improvement in companies’ climate strategies, as perceived through their publications;
  3. Ensuring the reliability and relevance of ACT methodologies as a tool for evaluating companies’ transition plans.

They are intended to be supplemented with new evaluation campaigns, particularly following the implementation of the CSRD. For each company, four scores are presented:

  • The performance score measures the degree to which a company is aligned with a low-carbon economy, using all the indicators included in the relevant ACT methodology.
  • The narrative score provides a holistic view of the company, seeking to assess its overall readiness for the transition to a low-carbon economy and to identify any gaps or inconsistencies that were not perceived by the performance score.
  • The trend score aims to predict changes in the company’s alignment with the transition to a low-carbon economy.
  • The transparency score measures the percentage of data available in the company’s publications compared to the indicators required by the ACT methodology used to assess the company.
