Climate Change Policy examines the formal commitments, governance structures and management systems a company sets to address climate-related risks and opportunities. It covers:
- publicly stated positions on climate science, decarbonisation and the just transition;
- board and executive oversight mechanisms, including climate-related remuneration and decision-making processes;
- integration of climate considerations into strategy, capital allocation, risk management and scenario analysis (e.g., TCFD/ISSB alignment);
- internal policies on energy use, renewables procurement, emissions reductions, adaptation and resilience;
- consistency between stated policies and external engagement - corporate lobbying, industry-association memberships and political spending - to ensure they support Paris-aligned outcomes.
