The Climate Engagement Canada Net Zero Company Benchmark draw on distinct analytical methodologies and datasets from public and self-disclosed data from companies, broadly categorised into two types of indicators: Disclosure Framework Indicators, which evaluate the adequacy of corporate disclosure; and Alignment Assessments, which evaluate the alignment of company actions with the Paris Agreement goals.

[1] The data referenced in this document is not intended to be used as a “benchmark” as defined in Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts or to measure the performance of investment funds (the European Benchmark Regulation) and The Benchmarks (Amendment and Transitional Provision) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (the UK Benchmark Regulation). The Benchmark is not a disclosure mechanism or database itself, rather an assessment tool.
