Common Areas of Climate Policy Misalignment

Video 2 of 3

On September 9, 2021, we spoke with Dylan Tanner & Kendra Haven of Influence Map to explore “CPR and Climate Policy Mapping: Tracking Scope 4 Emissions”

Companies are taking great steps to make public statements on social and environmental responsibility. That said, misalignment between companies’ statements and actions abound. Are these misalignments detrimental not only to the company’s climate goals, but create financial risks as well?

In this module, we explore:

• Where are the biggest misalignments between a company's stated commitments and their political influence?
• What immediate threats do companies face as a result of their misalignments?

The Corporate Political Responsibility Taskforce (CPRT)’s Expert Dialogues are in-depth, recorded conversations with academic experts, stakeholder advocates and business practitioners to provide our members and other CPR champions with the expertise and context they need to develop principled, proactive CPR strategies. We invite those interested in a constructive, non-partisan, principles-based discussion.

InfluenceMap was founded in 2015 to track companies’ “Scope 4” emissions: the impact of their influence on climate policy, in the US, Europe and Asia. Their methodology includes direct advocacy, trade association relationships and lobbying intensity, and how they advance policies designed to limit global warming to 1.5o C.
