About Consultation on a proposed corporate air pollution benchmark

Collaboration details

CCLA and Guy’s & St Thomas’ Foundation have joined forces to commission a scoping review by Chronos Sustainability Ltd to explore the role of investors in tackling corporate air pollution. The outcome of this review is a proposal to develop a global benchmark to assess company preparedness and resilience to the impacts of urban air pollution.

Specifically, the benchmark will:

define investor expectations of companies involved in urban road transport
drive increased transparency and disclosure by companies on air pollution
provide investors with an accessible way to understand and evaluate corporate practices
showcase examples of good practice in corporate management of air pollution for the benefit of investors and companies.

The consultation aims to test the proposed approach and seeks feedback from all interested stakeholders.

Objectives

This consultation invites feedback from investors, companies, academics, non-governmental organisations and other stakeholders with an interest in reducing the impacts of corporate air pollution on public health and the environment.

The responses will be used to inform CCLA and Guy’s & St Thomas’ Foundation’s thinking on the value to investors of a benchmark on corporate air pollution and, assuming there is support for the idea of a benchmark, will lead to further refinements of the benchmark assessment criteria and methodology. The benchmark will then be piloted with a selected group of companies prior to the launch of a global benchmark and baseline report in 2025.
