As carbon hotspots vary from industry to industry, a weighting factor applies across four of the five CATI activity areas: Measurement & Disclosure (15%; Indicator 2.3.1 (6%) does not apply), Carbon Targets Setting (14%), Performance against Carbon Targets (12%) and Climate Action (43%). The default weighting factors for each industry are shown in the CATI Evaluation Guidelines.
