Guidance for companies
The Coalition works with its network of partners to develop strengthened and consolidated resources aligned with the The 4 A’s of Climate Leadership on areas where companies tell us they need additional clarity on what good looks like.
Climate transition action plans
Every company should create a credible Climate Transition Action Plan (CTAP). This details the forward-looking, specific, and near-term actions a company is taking to cut emissions at pace and shares this information in a non-technical, easily-digestible, and public-facing way.
Use the consolidated guidance and editable templates developed with CDP, Ceres and EDF to create one.
Responsible policy engagement
By advocating for pro-climate measures and intervening when their trade groups lobby against them, business can help bring about policies that unlock investment and deliver action at scale – and cut their emissions faster.
Follow the RPE Framework, developed with a taskforce of leading NGO partners and company input.
Just transition resource platform
Embedding the principles and practice of a just transition creates support for climate action, allowing governments and business to act at the scale and pace demanded by science.
Understand the important role of business in ensuring that workers and communities can thrive in the low carbon economy, using the resource platform created with the B Team and BSR.
Nature guidance hub
With nearly 1/4 of global emissions related to forestry, farming and land use, every company should include nature in their climate plans. This means cutting within value chain emissions from these sectors and investing beyond their value chain to protect and restore natural ecosystems like forests and wetlands.
Take credible action on nature with resources and initiatives from our network of partners.
