Carbon Performance research update 2026

This document outlines key updates to the TPI Centre's Carbon Performance assessment framework and release cycle. The update highlights two major changes: an adjustment to the short‑term alignment year to 2030, while retaining medium‑ and long‑term horizons, and the extension of Carbon Performance assessments to the chemicals sector, increasing overall sectoral coverage. These updates ensure that TPI’s Carbon Performance metrics remain forward‑looking and relevant for investors assessing companies’ alignment with Paris‑aligned transition pathways.
