Take climate action, get the credit you deserve.

The comprehensive climate impact metric businesses have been missing.

The CCF Sponsors

A meta-framework and an action-guiding scorecard

The Climate Contribution Framework quantitatively scores companies on their performance towards global net zero by measuring their efforts related to a holistic set of levers--Carbon Footprint Reduction, Climate Solutions, and Climate Finance. The CCF does not replace existing frameworks. It brings them together to generate a Scorecard that reflects your company's entire climate action.

There are more than 60 corporate climate frameworks...
...We integrate them into our framework...
to provide you with a simple & clear Contribution score!
Your Scorecard

Three clear results: Contribution potential, raw performance, and contribution score

This structure answers both "What could you do?" and "What are you doing?", creating accountability while recognizing the diversity of pathways. The result: actionable insights, clear signals on areas where companies should improve and where capital can generate maximum impact.

01
Contribution Potential

Maximum achievable climate contribution based on sector

02
Raw Performance

Currently achieved climate contribution.

03
Contribution Score

Ratio between achieved potential and achievable potential in %

How it works

The three pillars of climate action

A company's carbon inventory cannot be the only measure of success or failure. The Climate Contribution Framework recognizes not only companies' ability to reduce its carbon inventory over time but also whether it is building the low-carbon products of the future and if the company is financing projects that deliver emissions mitigation results or investing in net zero enabling systems change.

A
Reduce

Decarbonize operations and the value chain

Reduce emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3 through transition planning, low-carbon procurement, and climate-conscious OPEX and CAPEX investments.

B
Scale

Scale up low-carbon solutions

Create and deploy products and services that accelerate the transition to a climate-safe world: renewable energy, circular economy innovations, and technologies building the net zero economy.

C
Finance

Direct capital towards net zero projects

Support beyond the value chain through carbon credits, climate technologies, investment funds and philanthropies dedicated to net zero.
