At the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, we have witnessed tangible progress from the joint efforts of the international community. The rapid growth of global emissions has been curbed to some extent, and the likelihood of catastrophic warming scenarios has been reduced. Nevertheless, the global climate situation remains severe, with extreme weather events occurring with increasing frequency. At this critical moment of heightened uncertainty in global climate governance, we believe that the decarbonization of global industrial and supply chains is more important than ever. In 2025, the Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs (IPE) once again conducted a quantitative evaluation of the climate actions of 800 Chinese and international companies across 23 industries. The evaluation covered five key dimensions—governance mechanisms, measurement and disclosure, carbon target setting, performance towards targets, and emission reduction actions—with the goal of identifying and promoting best practices to encourage global supply chains to accelerate their low-carbon transformation.

October 31, 2024 - The Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs (IPE) published the 7th annual Corporate Climate Action CATI evaluation report in Beijing, highlighting that Chinese and foreign companies are stepping up climate action. Leading companies have required suppliers to conduct carbon management and data disclosure at facility-level, empower them to extend climate governance to upstream supply chain, and motivated them to reduce carbon emissions.

IPE and PECC released the first year’s Climate Action CATI evaluation results of the photovoltaic (PV) listed company. The report indicates that many PV listed companies are actively responding to the requirements of the dual-carbon policy, implementing energy-saving and emission reduction projects, and carrying out green transformation along the industrial chain. Report also suggests that the majority of PV listed companies need to benchmark themselves against industrial leaders to improve corporate and supply chain climate governance. We thus call for multi-stakeholders to jointly advance the zero carbon supply chains in the PV industry.

The Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs (IPE) released the evaluation results of the 2023 Listed Company Climate Action CATI Index. The report indicates that overall China's listed companies have made progress in climate action. IPE believes that this 2023 CATI evaluation is a systematic background investigation before the release of the new rules on listed company ESG information disclosure, and to a certain extent, reflects the "baseline" of climate disclosure of listed companies.

October 19, 2023 - The Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs (IPE) published the 6th annual Corporate Climate Action CATI evaluation report in Beijing. The report shows that companies in China and overseas are accelerating their climate actions under the pressing global climate situation.

The Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs (IPE) released the evaluation results of its 2022 Listed Company Corporate Climate Action (CATI) Index. The report indicates that with the influence of “dual carbon” goals, a number of Chinese listed companies are actively responding to climate change, conducting climate-related information disclosure, and promoting synergistic reduction in pollution and carbon emissions, in order to accelerate corporate low-carbon transformation.
