Putting a price on carbon is an essential part of any strategy to combat climate change, mitigate risks and capitalize on opportunities. Corporate use of an internal price on carbon is becoming the new normal for major multinationals, and in 2020, more than 2,000 companies were factoring an internal carbon price into their business plans, representing an 80% leap over five years. The widespread adoption of internal carbon prices illustrates the mainstreaming of climate change concerns as a line item in public companies' budgeting and strategic planning.
What are the benefits?
Carbon pricing systems encourage innovation and help ensure sustained economic competitiveness. Leading businesses already recognize this, and have disclosed to CDP that they support carbon pricing policies and are building a carbon price into their business operations and investment decisions as a way to prepare for a low-carbon economy.
What is expected of companies that make this commitment?
By making this commitment, companies are agreeing to align with the UN Global Compact’s Business Leadership Criteria on Carbon Pricing:
- Set an internal carbon price high enough to materially affect investment decisions to drive down greenhouse gas emissions;
- Publicly advocate the importance of carbon pricing through policy mechanisms that take into account country specific economies and policy contexts; and
- Communicate on progress over time on the two criteria above in public corporate reports.
Companies can communicate on progress through platforms like the CDP climate change questionnaire. Companies who successfully align with the criteria will join a growing group of Carbon Pricing Champions.

Asia Pacific’s Race to Net-zero: CDP's Regional Analysis of 2020 Corporate Environmental DisclosuresPratima Divgi, Director (Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand), CDP - May 13 2021Despite the many challenges in 2020, more than 3,000 companies from 21 markets across the Asia Pacific region have reported through CDP, a nearly 20% increase from 2019, with many first-time responders from China, India, and Southeast Asia. The region also accounts for more than 260 science-based targets, a 57% increase when compared to 2019. However, companies need to raise ambitions by proactively engaging with their supply chains on climate-related risks and opportunities, setting more mid- and long-term targets in line with keeping warming to 1.5°C, and look at other ways in which they can help address interconnected issues concerning climate adaptation and systemic resilience. -
