The second "What if" report by climate tech company Right° was published on Thursday. Right° compares company data with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement. Right° sets the limit value at a global warming of 1.7 degrees by 2100.
None of the 34 DAX companies analyzed would be Paris-compatible if no further measures were taken to reduce emissions. However, according to the data, twelve companies have decoupled their value creation from climate-damaging emissions in recent years to such an extent that they are on a Paris-compatible path.
And five of these companies also have a Paris-compatible climate target.
For companies, doing business in line with Paris means decoupling their value creation from climate-damaging emissions.
According to the "What if" report, the climate pioneers RWE $RWESiemens Healthineers $SHL (+0,95%)Adidas $ADS (-0,52%)Deutsche Börse $DB1 (-0,27%) and Porsche, which was relegated from the DAX $P911 (+0,72%). Both the climate targets and the track record of these companies are on a Paris-compatible path.
However, there are clear differences between the DAX companies in terms of their track record. Many are a long way off the targets of the Paris Climate Agreement.
