One of InfluenceMap's core programs, LobbyMap is the world’s leading platform measuring corporate climate policy engagement. It provides an independent, data-driven assessment of how the world’s largest companies and their industry associations are influencing policy and regulations needed to transition the global economy towards zero emissions.
LobbyMap was initiated in the run up to the Paris Agreement in 2015 to address a significant gap in the understanding of corporate climate impact. Since then it has grown to track and assess 1000+ of the world's largest companies, along with 300+ of their key industry associations, on a weekly basis.
The concept of a 'carbon policy footprint' or 'Scope 4 emissions' is now a firmly established part of the investor agenda on climate governance. LobbyMap's content feeds into change-making processes within investors, corporations, civil society, the media and legal strategies - all aimed at facilitating the policy and regulations critically needed to address the climate crisis.
