Between the 2015 Paris COP and Glasgow COP in 2021, listed issuers setting carbon targets went from 900 to over 2000.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftserussell.com\/#_ftn1\">[1]<\/a>&nbsp;<\/sup>And while just 4% of FTSE 100 companies set net zero targets in 2018, over 85% did by the end of 2022.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftserussell.com\/#_ftn2\">[2]<\/a>&nbsp;<\/sup>Crucially, investors are also using corporate targets to test companies\u2019 alignment with 1.5\u00b0C or 2\u00b0C pathways (e.g.&nbsp;&nbsp;through initiatives such as TPI and SBTi) and to assess the net zero alignment of their own portfolios \u2013 think financed emissions<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftserussell.com\/#_ftn3\">[3]<\/a><\/sup>&nbsp;or Implied Temperature Rise (ITR) metrics.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftserussell.com\/#_ftn4\">[4]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But are companies actually delivering on these targets? Currently no systematic framework exists to assess companies\u2019 progress towards these voluntary targets, and, because most companies have only set targets in the last few years, in many cases, it\u2019s too soon to tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, we do have some data to check whether companies have achieved their historical goals. We studied the FTSE Europe Developed Index as it has the highest rate of companies disclosing a carbon target for 2020 or prior.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftserussell.com\/#_ftn5\"><sup>[5]<\/sup><\/a>&nbsp;We then focused on a subsample of the 130 companies that represent more than 99% of the index emissions<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftserussell.com\/#_ftn6\"><sup>[6]<\/sup><\/a>&nbsp;\u2013 over two-thirds of which had a set an emissions reductions target for 2020 or prior to that (compare this to the FTSE All World, which covers large and mid-cap companies globally in which only 15% of companies had set a 2020 or pre-2020 target).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what we found (see Figure 1):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bespoke target metrics and poor follow-on disclosures makes robust tracking often impossible.&nbsp;<\/strong>Almost a third of the companies set their targets using hard-to-compare, bespoke metrics (net emissions, production-based intensity metrics, decarbonisation index, against a projected BAU, etc). But worse, after setting the target, they often failed to report on these metrics in subsequent disclosures. After carefully reviewing our sample, we were only able to identify the level of emissions reductions achieved in the target year for less than half of these companies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Where we can track targets, almost half of companies did not hit them.<\/strong>&nbsp;Among the companies that had set a target for 2020 or earlier and reported on their target year emissions, only slightly more than half achieved at least one of their targets.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"881\" height=\"668\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/chart1_0.png\" alt=\"only one in three companies hit their emissions reduction target for 2020 or prior\" class=\"wp-image-194770 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/chart1_0.png 881w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/chart1_0-700x531.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/chart1_0-300x227.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/chart1_0-768x582.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 881px) 100vw, 881px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 881px; aspect-ratio: 881\/668;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-four-key-actions-to-enhance-trust-in-corporate-carbon-commitments\"><strong>Four key actions to enhance trust in corporate carbon commitments<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A poor corporate track record in meeting emissions reductions targets presents an urgent challenge and undermines trust in corporate carbon commitments from investors and other stakeholders. Four key actions can help to improve the situation and should be central to investor engagement on climate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Emphasise the importance of setting clearer emissions reductions targets (we have written extensively about this here and here, including proposing a simple tabular disclosure template that has been featured as best practice example in the updated&nbsp;<em>TCFD Guidance<\/em>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There also needs to be a greater focus on short-term emissions reductions with a two to five year focus, as we need to be able to follow companies\u2019 emissions pathways on a more immediate and regular basis. This chimes with the key findings of CA100+, which finds that only 7% of systematically important carbon emitters currently meet all criteria for short-term targets, a much lower share than for medium and long-term targets.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftserussell.com\/#_ftn7\">[7]<\/a><\/sup><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Push for better ongoing disclosures enable the consistent tracking of corporate emissions against reductions targets over time. This should also include historical datapoints, which currently are often difficult to interpret or missing entirely. New standards and regulations on climate disclosures by the SEC, the ISSB, EFRAG and others will help, but it will take time for these to take effect. he new V.2.0 CA100+ framework (which LSEG helped to develop) includes an indicator to track companies\u2019 historical GHG emissions performances.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftserussell.com\/#_ftn8\">[8]<\/a><\/sup><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Last but not least, clearly laid out Transition Plans&nbsp;&nbsp;are critical to enhance the credibility of emissions reductions commitments(at LSEG we were proud to published our first one last year).<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftserussell.com\/#_ftn9\">[9]<\/a><\/sup>&nbsp;These plans are key for investors to understand if companies have set out coherent 2050 pathway or if their proposed emissions reductions are based on vague plans and unproven assumptions. Robust guidance for standardised transition plan disclosures \u2013 such as the ones we are helping to develop in the UK Governments\u2019 Transition Plan Taskforce (TPT) and the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) \u2013 are key to guide companies in providing meaningful transition plan disclosures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<br>Originally Posted July 20, 2023 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftserussell.com\/blogs\/are-corporates-walking-walk-climate-pledges\">Are corporates walking the walk on climate pledges?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftserussell.com\/#_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a>&nbsp;J.
