In a letter dated 13 January 2022, Milieudefensie/Friends of the Earth Netherlands calls on 29 large Dutch enterprises to implement climate plans aligned with the Paris Agreement. Citing a court ruling against Royal Dutch Shell, the organization argues that large emitters have a responsibility to reduce scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. They request a climate-just plan by 15 April 2022, targeting a minimum 45% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030 relative to 2019. The New Climate Institute will evaluate these plans, with results to be published as a ranking in June 2022.

• The organization demands that targeted companies reduce their scope 1, 2, and 3 CO2 emissions by at least 45% by 2030 compared to 2019 levels, with a submission deadline for these plans set for 15 April 2022.
• The demand is based on the premise that global warming must be limited to 1.5 °C, requiring a global average CO2 emission reduction of 45% by 2030 from 2010 levels to avoid an existential crisis.
• A court ruling against Royal Dutch Shell established that companies, not just countries, share a responsibility to prevent dangerous climate change and must align their activities with the Paris Agreement.
• The letter was sent to 29 Dutch companies across various sectors that contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions throughout their business chains.
• The New Climate Institute has been engaged to evaluate the quality and practicality of the submitted climate plans, with a ranking of the results scheduled for publication in June 2022.
