Benchmark total score
The company scores 1 for the quality of their transition plan, resulting in a total score of F - Non-mature. This reflects that the company has set at least one valid climate target before 2034 independent of scope and time frame but not for its most material emissions scopes. As sufficient transition plan quality is lacking, the contribution to the transition has not been scored. Expanding target setting to include the most material emissions of the company would move the company to a higher classification. The graphs below indicate the company’s performance compared to the overall distribution of results for selected aspects. However, the total score refers to a much wider set of indicators and also consider such as the company’s emission disclosure, transition plan, aspects of governance and support for climate policy.

Maturity of climate targets

The degree to which the company sets short- and long-term climate targets, covering key emissions across all operations, with full quantitative disclosure on baselines and reductions.

KT

Investment in climate solutions

The extent to which the company’s annual investments are directed toward climate solutions, ideally identified through an established taxonomy or descriptive framework.

KT

Aligning business models

Is the company developing or expanding low-carbon business models, including those beyond its core operations - with clear, quantified commitments for expansion.

KT

Trajectory 1.5°C compatibility

The extent to which the company’s current emissions, production, or portfolio investment trajectory is compatible with the 1.5°C ambition.
