Private Market Decarbonization Roadmap (PDMR) Alignment

PMDR is a framework that has been developed as part of an industry initiative, led by Initiative Climat International (“iCI”) and Bain. The aim is to help private market investors classify and disclose the decarbonization progress of their portfolio companies. It is rapidly becoming an industry standard. PMDR includes tools and templates for tracking GHG emissions and aligning with Net Zero transition pathways.

2To progress to this stage companies must have reasonable scope to reduce emissions from their operations; companies operating in thermal coal and exploration of new oil/tar sands production sites cannot progress to this stage.
3The EDCI template does not enable an assessment of whether emissions are reducing in line with the relevant Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) pathway.
