This global initiative, led by asset owners and supported by asset managers, provides open access evaluations and data on how companies are transitioning.

Working with its academic partner, the TPI Centre at the London School of Economics, and FTSE Russell, its data partner, TPI provides an academically robust and transparent framework for assessing how companies align with the goals of the Paris Agreement and support the global low-carbon transition. Using publicly available information, TPI evaluates companies on two dimensions: management quality (how well they manage emissions and related risks) and carbon performance (how their emission pathways align with low-carbon benchmarks). TPI's data are used in investment decision making (for example, in index design or stock selection), engagement strategies, and proxy voting, ultimately encouraging companies to align with the low-carbon transition.
