Ceres Ambition 2030

Our Ambition 2030 initiative advances efforts to reduce carbon emissions in six of the economy’s highest polluting sectors.  

priority sectors: banking, electric power, food and agriculture, oil and gas, steel, and transportation.

metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent is produced across our priority sector value chains.

%

of total U.S. GHG emissions is estimated to be covered by our priority sectors.

We know that the most ambitious actions of a few companies, or even a few hundred, aren’t enough to avert the worst impacts of climate change. Through the Ceres Ambition 2030 initiative, we shift the focus from company action to sector-wide progress in these sectors: electric power, oil and gas, steel, food, banking, and transportation.   

Our goal is to reduce pollution in these priority sectors and accelerate the transition to a cleaner, just and more resilient economy. 

We leverage the power of investor engagement, education, and advocacy to move the biggest polluters to achieve their corporate climate goals, create robust transition action plans, and provide disclosure about how they are achieving their pollution reduction targets.  

Sector dashboard

We evaluate emissions disclosure and goals across the initiative’s priority sectors. Companies are assessed against the Ceres Ambition Spectrum, which evaluates the robustness of climate and clean energy commitments and identifies key steps a company must take to achieve them.

Create your climate transition plan 

Broad climate commitments and long-term goals aren’t enough. The next step for companies is to develop and publicly disclose a concrete plan for achieving emissions reduction targets—with specific, measurable, and time-bound goals. Learn how to create a climate transition plan that outlines the actions your company plans to take throughout its business—including its growth strategy, procurement, operations, and customer engagement activities.
