Science.
Transparency.
Accountability.

The time for ambitious and transparent corporate climate action is now. We’re driving business accountability and setting a new benchmark for climate integrity.

Our Work

Our Approach

We champion integrity in climate action

1.

We run campaigns and projects to call out greenwashing, tackle fossil fuel industry influence, and hold heavy emitters to account. We exist to ensure climate science and integrity remain front-and-centre in government policy and boardrooms across the country.

We hold corporate Australia to account

2.

We research the climate commitments of Australian corporations and industry associations to identify credibility and integrity issues and drive accountability through direct engagement, legal action and public campaigns.

We engage with companies, government and policymakers to increase climate transparency and improve Australia’s transition in line with the Paris agreement.

We advocate for a credible transition

3.

Integrity matters.

Tools for Journalists

Corporate greenwashing, lack of transparency and the rapid pace of change can make it difficult for even the most seasoned journalists to remain on the right side of the facts.

Climate Integrity has developed tools and resources for journalists reporting on corporate climate action.

We also provide unbiased expert commentary and analysis from the Climate Integrity team and our Expert Network.
