Climate Transition Mismatch for Corporates & Trade Associations

Company membership in trade associations has emerged as a critical area of concern, particularly when corporate management teams claim to be supportive of lowering their carbon footprint but are members of associations that appear to be at odds with the goals set out in the Paris Agreement.
A new report from Planet Tracker urges corporations to reassess their affiliations with industry associations that diverge from their stated environmental objectives. This move is seen as essential to avoid accusations of 'greenwashing’.
The financial markets are increasingly calling for transparency on climate strategies to ascertain alignment with the Paris Agreement and to facilitate more accurate financial forecasting.
