Transition Planning Toolkit: Scorecard

Part 2 of the Transition Planning Toolkit. Complete the Transition Planning Scorecard to help assess how effectively your board is responding and contributing to the transition to a low GHG-emissions and climate-resilient economy. As the company progresses on the journey, the Transition Planning Scorecard serves as a valuable tool. This tool enables board members to help steer the company in developing its transition plan in accordance with the TPT guidance.

This scorecard is designed for companies that have already developed a transition plan, whether published or not.  If your company has not yet created a plan, we suggest you answer our Getting Started questions and try out the Chapter Zero Board Scorecard.  You can come back to this scorecard when your board is further advanced in the transition planning process.
