These documents set out the frameworks and methodologies for how Carbon Tracker Initiative assesses companies in consideration of climate risk, in order to provide data and assessments for the Climate Action 100+ Net Zero Company Benchmark. [1]

Climate Action 100+ is an investor-led initiative bringing together over 600 investors to engage the world’s largest corporate greenhouse gas emitters to take action on climate change, helping to mitigate financial risk and maximise long-term asset value. The Climate Action 100+ Net Zero Company Benchmark (henceforth the ‘Benchmark’) assesses the performance of focus companies against the initiative’s three high-level goals: emissions reduction, governance, and disclosure on and implementation of net zero transition plans. Five sets of company assessments against the Benchmark have been released since March 2021.
[1] The scoring methodologies referenced in these documents are 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.
