Our Work

We work with investors to engage heavy-emitting, listed companies

Oil & Gas

Accelerating decarbonisation and centering shareholder value

The oil and gas sector produces around 5.1 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually, accounting for nearly 15% of total energy-related emissions globally.

Steel Value Chain

Driving the shift to green steel, green iron and future-ready investment

Iron and steel production is responsible for around 7-9% of global CO₂ emissions - more than any other industrial sector, including aviation and shipping.

Coal & Mining

Promoting orderly and Paris-aligned transition pathways

Mining accounts for 4-7% of total global greenhouse gas emissions. An estimated 3-6% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from fugitive methane (leaks) from coal mines, which is far more potent than CO2 in the short term.

Utilities

Pushing for decarbonised, resilient energy systems

The power and utilities sector is responsible for roughly 30% of global energy-related GHG emissions, with electricity/heat generation alone making up about 29.7%. While fossil fuels still dominate (around 80% of global energy), renewables are rapidly growing.

ACCR's multidisciplinary team has expertise in strategy, equities analysis, climate science and corporate governance
