Transition Plan Content Index

Net-zero transition plans are an essential part of net-zero goals, and yet transition plan disclosures are fragmented and non-standardised. This tool - developed by a coalition of NGOs, including C2ES, BSR, Ceres, the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), and We Mean Business Coalition (WMBC) - was designed to help you increase the transparency and comparability of your net-zero transition plan by creating a reference document called a Transition Plan Index. The tool is based on a Microsoft Excel workbook that lays out key transition plan elements taken from a number of leading transition frameworks. The workbook acts as an index template featuring all the required transition plan elements. This allows you to reference a source for each element that you already have documented as well as check for elements that are missing. By publishing a transition plan index annually, you will help stakeholders and investors quickly find and review elements and track your transition plan completeness. This tool will be most useful to sustainability practitioners.
