PACT (The Partnership for Carbon Transparency) - Carbon emission reduction transparency and accountability

The Partnership for Carbon Transparency (PACT) of WBCSD brings together stakeholders from across industries and organizations to jointly tackle the carbon emission reduction transparency and accountability challenge.

It aims at unlocking decarbonization through real emissions transparency in supply chains. 

Its mission is to establish the global methodology and technical infrastructure for accurate, primary and verified GHG emission data exchange and measurement.

PACT focuses first on Cradle-to-Gate data including all upstream activities.

It is an initiative funded by the WBCSD (World Business Council for Sustainable Development) with a wide range of partners from climate coalitions and campaigns to supply chain actors, policy makers, technology players, auditors, etc.

PACT has 3 main areas of work:

  1. Methodology: ensuring consistent calculation and exchange of product-level primary emissions data – building on GHG Protocol 
  2. Technological network enabling confidential and secure exchange of verified emissions data
  3. Ecosystem: creating alignment across value chains and industries and key stakeholders in decarbonization space 

Members include policy makers, academia, technology players, auditors, supply chain actors, other initiatives, investors, etc,
