The ACT method: assessing climate strategy alignment
ACT (Assessing low-Carbon Transition) is a method, run by ADEME and the CDP, that assesses the credibility of a company's decarbonisation strategy.
What it assesses
ACT looks not only at past emissions but at the coherence of the future strategy: targets, investments, transition plan, governance. It gives an alignment score with a low-carbon trajectory.
Why it is useful
ACT complements the carbon assessment by judging the trajectory, not just the snapshot. A solid assessment and an SBTi trajectory are the foundation. UltraCarbon provides these quantified elements.
Frequently asked questions
