What are the Climate Dividends?
Climate Dividends are an extra-financial mechanism, corresponding to the measure of a company’s positive contribution to global decarbonisation (i.e the removed or avoided emissions by its activity) that can be awarded to its shareholders.
A mechanism for companies and investors
Measure and value your positive contribution to global decarbonisation:
✓ Monitor your climate strategy by taking into account the negative AND positive impacts
✓ Communicate serenely without fear of greenwashing thanks to a robust and transparent measure
✓ Compare your impact with other players or between different activities with a standardised metric
✓ Value your impact to your shareholders/investors
Measure and value the positive contribution to global decarbonisation of your investments:
✓ Harmonised metric to use in due diligence and performance evaluation during holding period
✓ Communicate serenely without fear of greenwashing thanks to a robust and transparent measure
✓ Compare your climate performance with other funds and value it to LPs
✓ Quantitative basis to include climate performance in the financial valuation
How does it work ?
A simple 5-step process.
The company and the activity must validate Eligibility criteria, mostly to ensure transparency & avoid greenwashing
Assessment of the tCO2e avoided and/or removed by the Solution, in compliance with the rules of the public & standardised Protocol.
An independent third-party (accredited by Climate Dividends) validates the methodology and verifies the calculations.
Upon positive audit, the claim is registered in the association’s registry (it becomes public) and the tCO2e are “converted” into Climate Dividends.
The Climate Dividends are distributed to the shareholders according to their % of capital ownership through the Climate Dividends platform.
A robust and transparent methodology
Our approach relies on a standardised and fully transparent Protocol and sectoral "cookbooks" that provide precise rules on how to assess removed and avoided emissions and how to use and value Climate Dividends.
We rely on internal carbon expertise, an independent technical committee and many partnerships. This allows us to always be at the forefront of the most advanced methodological developments.
