Responsible Corporate Engagement in Climate Policy

Companies play an important role in providing proactive, constructive input for governments to create effective climate policies. While making a commitment to sustainability is important, it is also critical to connect the dots between this commitment and your corporate policy positions. A number of organizations have come together to provide a framework to help you do so. The Caring for Climate initiative has partnered with the World Resources Institute (WRI), the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Ceres and The Climate Group. Together, we ask companies to take a leadership role and commit to engage responsibly in climate policy.

A supportive policy framework is vital to give business the backing it needs in the transition to a low-carbon economy. This is why forward-looking companies are actively ensuring their policy engagement on key climate issues is aligned, transparent, and consistent. The “Guide for Responsible Corporate Engagement in Climate Policy” sets out a program of action for companies wishing to demonstrate best practice in policy engagement.
