  • Mirova Research Center and Sweep are pleased to announce the selection of I Care by BearingPoint and Winrock International to develop the Corporate Climate Contribution Index (CCCI)1, following a recent call for expressions of interest.

  • This initiative aims to develop an index that provides investors and the public with a more nuanced understanding of which companies are leaders in how they contribute to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions cutting efforts, by weighing various indicators of effort and achievement. The index would build on and be compatible with existing climate leadership frameworks.

I Care, based in Europe and part of BearingPoint, is known for its expertise in assessing climate solutions’ impact and building corporate transition plans. Winrock International, headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA, is globally recognized for its technical expertise in developing carbon accounting and quantification methodologies, as well as advising companies on how to effectively cut emissions and align with voluntary and regulatory standards.

The CCCI will be backed by a methodology that scores corporate climate contribution efforts primarily across three levers: Direct Decarbonization, Indirect Decarbonization through climate solutions, and Climate Financing. This holistic approach will enable companies to align their behavior to prioritize actions that matter most to achieving global net zero.

For investors, the CCCI will serve as a solid foundation for assessing another facet of corporate climate performance and will enable stakeholders to gain confidence in their communications. By integrating this index into their analyses, investors will be better positioned to guide their decarbonization strategies and maximize the impact and value of their engagement policies

In a complex environment where many financial actors are retreating from their commitments to sustainable finance, Mirova is doubling down on its mission to finance the transition. The Corporate Climate Contribution Index is a key part of a broader strategy to enhance engagement policies and accelerate the transition of companies towards sustainable practices. By partnering with I Care and Winrock International, we aim to create a tool that not only assesses corporate contributions to net-zero goals but also fosters greater accountability and drives impactful climate action across industries.

The index is designed to be accessible and transparent, ensuring that all stakeholders can benefit from its insights. The consortium includes eight large capitalization companies from various sectors to ensure the applicability of the methodology, which will be unveiled at the 30th Conference of the Parties on Climate Change (COP30) in November 2025 in Belém, Brazil.

1 The Corporate Climate Contribution Index (CCCI) should not be confused with the Coal to Clean Credit Initiative (CCCI): A project led by The Rockefeller Foundation aimed at accelerating the phase-out of coal-fired power plants and incentivizing the replacement with clean energy in emerging economies.
