Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor 2025 methodology

The Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor (CCRM) methodology v5.0 is an assessment framework designed to evaluate the transparency and integrity of corporate climate strategies across various sectors and geographies.

• The CCRM methodology focuses on four primary assessment areas: the setting of substantiated and specific targets, the implementation of key sectoral transitions, and the responsibility regarding scaling up durable removals and ongoing emissions.
• Version 5.0 of the methodology, released in 2025, introduces several updates over the June 2024 version (v4.0), including revised weightings in the overall scoring to place more emphasis on the implementation of key sectoral transitions and the integrity of targets.
• Specific updates in v5.0 include a new standalone progress assessment for emission trends over the last five years in Section 2, a full methodological revision of Section 3 to evaluate transition-specific alignment targets, and major updates to Section 4 based on NewClimate Institute research regarding durable carbon dioxide removal and ongoing emissions.
