Notes on Our Scoring

The Organization Scores
To measure and score corporate influence on climate change policy, we have developed a
comprehensive process of examining a series of publicly available and reliable data sources
(e.g. legislative consultations, respected press, CDP responses) and querying them, for each
corporation, against a set of climate change policy and legislation related queries (e.g.
position on a carbon tax, energy efficiency standards). We score each data source/query
intersection (or cell) on a 5-point scale, with clearly consistent evidence and guidelines for our
scorers. There are 96 such scoring cells at present and the Organizational Score for each
corporation is computed over these, by our proprietary algorithm that accounts for weightings
and irrelevant data sources/queries. The Organizational Score is expressed as a % with
100% representing very supportive influence on climate policy. We note here that a
corporation and an influencer (e.g. a trade body, chamber of commerce, advocacy group) are
scored in exactly the same way to arrive at their respective Organizational Score.

The Relationship Scores

A corporation, as well as its Organizational Score will have a Relationship Score. It is
computed by aggregating the Organizational Scores of the Influencers (trade bodies etc.) it
has relationships with, weighted by both the strength of these relationships and the relative
importance of the Influencers towards climate change policy. A corporation will have a
number of relationships with Influencers mapped in our database. In turn these Influencers
will themselves have organizational scores as computed by exactly the same method as was
done for the corporations. Such relationships vary in nature and strength and we account for
this in our assessment by assigning Relationship Strengths. For example a trade association
may have 2000 member corporations with 10 of them on its executive committee. The 10
Executive Committee members would have strength of 8 compared to 3 for the regular
members, for example.

The Performance Bands

For Corporations, the Organizational Scores and Relationship Scores are combined to result
in an Overall Rating that places the Corporation in a Performance Band. There are 20
performance bands from A+ (representing a total score from 95-100%) through to E- (a score
of 25-30%), with scores below 25% falling in the red "F" band. So it is a relative scale. Most
companies fall within the 45-55% band that indicates they are neither actively obstructing nor
supporting the climate policy process. A score of 60% or more indicates the company is
actively supporting polices and regulations towards a low carbon future. Conversely lower
than a 40% band generally indicates obstructing behavior. As different sectors face differing
regulatory issues, it is most useful to compare the Performance Bands of corporations within
the same sector.

Engagement Intensity
The engagement intensity is a metric of the extent to which the company is engaging on
climate change policy matters, whether positively or negatively. It is a number from 0 (no
engagement at all) to 100 (full engagement on all queries/data points. Clearly energy and
energy intensive users more affected by climate regulations will have a higher engagement
intensity than, for example retailers. So an organizations score should be looked at in
conjunction with this metric to understand the amount of evidence we are using in each case
to base our score on.
