About
Automotive and Transportation Manufacturers Benchmark
WBA’s Climate and Energy Benchmark of automotive and transportation manufacturers 2024, measures and ranks 44 of the world’s most influential automotive and transportation manufacturers on their low-carbon transition.
The Automotive and Transportation Manufactures Benchmark combines the ACT methodologies (ACT Auto and ACT Generic) and just transition methodologies to provide an overall score and ranking of automotive and transportation manufacturers. By considering social and decarbonisation issues together, the benchmark mobilises stronger action needed to hold companies accountable on contributing towards a low-carbon transition that leaves no one behind.
Ultimately, the Climate and Energy Benchmark covers the ranking of 450 of the world’s most influential, companies in high-emitting sectors including automotive, heavy industries, oil and gas, transport, real estate and buildings development/construction, and electric utilities. An updated assessment of these companies will be available in 2026.
About our partners
About Accelerate Climate Transition (ACT): ACT is a joint voluntary initiative recognised by the UNFCCC secretariat Global Climate Agenda and supported by the French government. It aims at driving companies’ climate actions to align their strategies with low-carbon pathways. ACT provides an accountability framework to assess how companies’ strategies and transition plans contribute to the Paris Agreement mitigation goals. ACT takes an integrated and forward-looking approach to measure quantitatively and qualitatively decarbonisation performance across the past, present and future focusing on the major emissions sources in the business value chain. Publicly available assessment methodologies are sector specific responding to each sector’s own transition challenges. A complementary method that equips less mature businesses to develop robust low carbon strategies and implement relevant transition plans. Visit actinitiative.org to find out more.
