Overview of the initiative
We want to motivate companies to green their business models. Our aim is to encourage companies listed on the WSE to take more ambitious and realistic measures to reduce their climate impact by collecting information on their plans and declarations to achieve climate neutrality and educating capital market participants on best practices.
We hope that the esg.instrat.pl portal will become a space for discussion on the contribution of Polish listed issuers to climate change mitigation, encouraging WSE-listed entities to implement ambitious but feasible climate initiatives.
We invite all audiences to visit the platform on a regular basis and follow its publications, new datasets and updates on events related to corporate climate initiatives undertaken by WSE-listed entities.
Climate initiatives monitoring
Data collection and evaluation of companies’ published climate targets and strategies.
Education of capital market participants
Publication of expert reports, stimulation of exchange of best practices.
Raising public awareness
Media presence, organisation of expert debates and panels.
The fight for the climate will not succeed without the participation of the private sector
The implementation of voluntary targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by companies is essential to achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement. Without strong and rapid business commitment to climate action, it is not possible to limit global warming to less than 2°C and aim to keep it at 1.5°C.
140
Number of emitters in the target base
greenhouse gas emission reduction targets.
These are companies from the WIG20, mWIG40 and sWIG80 indices.
