The diagram below maps out the climate policy engagement of the largest companies operating in Australia which are most significant to climate change (see FAQs for how these companies are chosen).
The ‘Climate Performance Band’ charts the overall position of the company towards Paris-aligned climate policy, from most oppositional (left) to most supportive (right). The ‘Engagement Intensity’ expresses how actively a company is engaging with climate policy, with the most engaged companies at the top of the graph. Hover over the graph to see details of each company, or find each company's full metrics and online profile in the table below.
Information about Australian industry associations and their climate policy engagement can be found on the Industry Associations page.
