Our service
The World Benchmarking Alliance, a global non-profit running benchmarks of 2000 firms against their contributions to the SDGs, is publishing assessments of climate plans of companies in various sectors. The assessments are based on the ACT methodology developed in Europe by ADEME and CDP. As the first ACT-licensed consultancy in Japan, Codo supported ANA throughout the process of the company’s first-ever assessment by WBA during the summer of 2022.
Our team helped the sustainability department of ANA Holdings understand the methodology, identify the most relevant data to provide to the assessor, and articulate source data in Japanese and reporting framework in English. After the publication of the assessment in October 2022, Codo delivered to ANA an expert feedback brief, including the identification of the margin of progress for ANA Holdings and comparison with competitors also assessed by WBA.
“As the first ACT licensed consultancy in Japan, we expect Codo to provide support to Japanese companies in their assessements by the World Benchmarking Alliance, to promote their climate change initiatives on a global level and improve their level of disclosure.”
