The impacts of climate change, nature loss, social inequality and the rapid advancements of AI technology will not be experienced in isolation, and they cannot be solved that way either. The world's most influential companies hold the power to determine whether the global transition succeeds or stalls. While many of these companies have targets, progress towards those targets varies and almost none have plans that connect action across the full scope of their impact on people and planet. A company cannot decarbonise sustainably if it destroys ecosystems or defers the cost onto workers and communities, and its commitment to human rights cannot be credible if it is infringing on people’s right to a safe and healthy environment.
WBA's Integrated Transition Assessment will change how we assess and understand transition progress, setting a new global standard for what credible, connected, and consequential corporate action actually looks like. This framework is being built with companies, investors, policymakers and civil society - because no company can transition alone, and no stakeholder can drive accountability in isolation. The transition only works if we move together.
