Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor 2025 methodology

The Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor (CCRM) methodology v5.0 provides a stepwise framework for assessing corporate climate claims across four key areas: emissions tracking, target setting, sectoral transitions, and responsibility for ongoing emissions and removals. The 2025 update introduces revised weightings for scoring, a new progress assessment for five-year emission trends, a full methodological revision of sectoral transition evaluations, and updated scientific insights regarding durable carbon dioxide removal.

• The CCRM methodology v5.0 focuses on four primary assessment areas: the setting of specific and substantiated targets, the implementation of key sectoral transitions, tracking and disclosure of emissions, and responsibility for ongoing emissions and the scaling up of durable removals.
• Version 5.0 introduces several updates over version 4.0, including a full methodological revision of Section 3 to evaluate transition-specific alignment targets and a new standalone progress assessment in Section 2 to track corporate emission trends over the previous five years.
• The updated scoring system places increased emphasis on the integrity of targets and the implementation of sectoral transitions, with revised weightings specifically applied to Sections 3 and 4.
