Research indicates a notable increase in the alignment of European companies with climate goals, as corporate lobbying for stronger climate action has risen from 3% in 2019 to 23% in 2025. The findings suggest that more than half of the surveyed companies are at least partially aligned with initiatives aimed at preventing global temperatures from rising 1.5°C. While a few companies publicly oppose climate measures, a significant majority supports decarbonization efforts. The study emphasizes the importance of tracking corporate engagement through various channels to gauge this shift effectively.
The rise in corporate lobbying for climate action from 3% to 23% reveals a significant shift in how European companies perceive environmental regulations, emphasizing support for climate policies.
The report highlights that while vocal opposers dominate public debate, a quieter majority of companies are actually advocating for decarbonization and progress towards climate goals.
Tracking business engagement showed that in 2019 only one in four companies aligned with the Paris Agreement, yet by 2025 that share doubled, indicating a clear trend towards climate advocacy.
Industry associations are lagging behind individual companies in alignment with climate goals, with only 2% of associations meeting these pathways, despite individual companies showing robust support.
