Discover how to improve your company’s carbon management practices

Investors are increasingly choosing to allocate capital to companies with clear frameworks for managing climate-related risks and opportunities. The London Stock Exchange's Climate Governance Score is a measure of companies' carbon management practices and incorporation of climate change considerations into business strategies. It was established to help companies identify areas for improvement and assess their performance against industry peers.

The Score, utilises the Transition Pathway Initiative's (TPI) Management Quality methodology, the data for the TPI is provided by FTSE Russell. The TPI is a global initiative led by asset owners which assesses companies' on the progress that they are making in their preparedness for the transition to a low-carbon economy. The data points used in the assessment are mapped to the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations. 

The Score is not assessing carbon performance, the quality of emissions reduction targets or a measure of future carbon emissions, but whether there is credible climate governance and a seriousness of approach which should in turn enable a company to set appropriate targets and achieve strong emissions reduction performance.

Take our quick assessment to reveal your score and see which areas you should focus on to improve your management of climate change risks and opportunities.
