With more companies beginning to develop strategies in response to #climaterisk, opportunities, and regulations, Ceres, Inc. has developed a Climate Transition Action Plan (CTAP) blueprint to guide leaders as they navigate leading #ESG frameworks. The report includes case studies of strong CTAPs from companies such as Ball Corporation, General Mills, Mars, and National Grid. *CTAPs outline the actions companies take across their businesses to address the financial risks of climate change and maximize the opportunities to thrive in a low-carbon future. https://bit.ly/3xstUGY #ClimateAction #ESG #Sustainability

“Transition plans provide companies with the opportunity to move climate action from a siloed 'add on' to an integrated part of the business strategy. It also gives them the opportunity to be part of an international effort to decarbonize the entire economy and work towards a just and sustainable future for all.”   Ceres, Inc.'s Blueprint for Implementing a Leading Climate Transition Action Plan (CTAP) provides companies with actionable steps to achieve their own climate goals and lead the way in creating a sustainable future for all. Learn how to enhance your company’s disclosure practices into a forward-looking transition plan. Advocating for public policy is an important step that companies can take by identifying their own policy priorities and ensuring those policies are aligned with their trade associations’ lobbying practices.   For more information on how your company can implement forward-looking public policy actions and the CTAP for a cleaner, more equitable economy check out the resource below. 👇
