We’re calling on all businesses, financial institutions, and investment managers to sign up to our Commitments, meet agreed interim targets and achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2030.
The Commitments go beyond disclosure of historical carbon reporting. They’re forward looking, with a focus on businesses’ plans and targets that will create a carbon-reduction ripple effect right across their value chains.
By signing up to the Commitments, all businesses (including SMEs), financial institutions
and investment managers agree to the following:
Measure and disclose all carbon emissions. Large companies^ will also adopt the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures
By 2023, all products and services will be clearly labelled with their respective carbon impact, so consumers are able to make informed purchasing decisions.
Transition to 100% renewable energy by 2030.**
Achieve net-zero carbon emissions across your value chain (Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions) by 2030.**
Purchase carbon offsets to meet any shortfalls in achieving #3 and #4.
Only invest in new companies and projects that meet the zero-carbon 2030 Commitments.
Permit annual verification audits to ensure compliance with zero-carbon 2030 Commitments.
Positively influence governments and only commit to supporting political entities that commit to climate policy that will limit the average global temperature rise to 1.5°C.
Encourage corporate customers to adopt the zero-carbon 2030 Commitments. And, by 2030, conduct 100% of business transactions with corporate clients that have a minimum Carbon Rating* of A.**
Move the money so that, by 2030, 100% of your assets are invested in companies with a minimum Carbon Rating* of A.**
Show your customers and investors you’re the kind of leader, change-maker and human being they want to support. Express your interest, and we’ll send you a formal agreement for your executive team to sign.
