Ceres released today the first-of-its-kind resource for companies to deliver leading climate transition action plans. Ceres' Blueprint for Implementing a Leading Climate Transition Action Plan is an innovative tool for companies to develop and implement leading climate transition action plans (CTAPs). CTAPs outline the actions companies can take across their business to achieve their sustainability goals and transition to a cleaner, more just economy.
Ceres’ guidance focuses on 6 action areas: 1) setting goals and science-based targets, 2) decarbonizing the business, 3) ensuring a just transition, 4) advocating for public policy, 5) supporting integration and accountability, and 6) tracking and reporting progress.
This report provides real-world examples that highlight strong transition planning practices from leading companies including Ball Corporation, General Mills, Mars Inc, and National Grid.
The guidance in this report also aligns with disclosure frameworks published by the Transition Plan Taskforce and the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero, also comes as the U.S. and European Union continue to mandate the disclosure of corporate climate-related risks.
This groundbreaking resource will help companies address the financial risks of climate change and maximize the opportunities for them to thrive in a low-carbon future.
