Impact of a Net Zero Assessment

May help diversify and extend an entity’s investor base and attract funding from a growing pool of capital focused on decarbonization and investing in entities with clear transition plans.
Provides more insight into decarbonization plans by assessing not only the ambition of an entity's decarbonization plan, but also the strength of its implementation and its governance around Greenhouse Gas (GHGs) emission reductions. Aims to address concerns and confusion about potential for transition and identify internal areas for improvement.
