# The Investor's Guide to Assessing Corporate Climate Transition Plans

Look beyond commitments and evaluate  
 the credibility of climate transition plans with confidence.

The world needs to transition to a low carbon economy in order to mitigate the risks posed by climate change. As companies look to adapt to this transition, their investors must also critically assess related risks and opportunities. 

To equip investors with the knowledge and tools needed to evaluate transition risks and climate strategies, we developed The Investor’s Guide to Assessing Corporate Climate Transition Plans. In it we outline the key elements of a credible climate transition plan and provide step-by-step guidance on how to assess and compare companies’ transition readiness. 

Readers of this guide will learn: 

- The investment risks posed by the low carbon transition.
- Why investors need to look beyond corporate commitments and evaluate companies’ climate transition and decarbonization plans.  
- The key elements of a climate transition plan.  
- How to assess the credibility of climate transition plans and how data can help.
