Description

Description The Prince of Wales’s Corporate Leaders Group (CLG) brings together European business leaders to accelerate progress towards a low carbon, sustainable economy.

Through exchange of ideas, experience, and a dialogue with policymakers, the CLG facilitates solutions that support a resilient and prosperous future. The group is composed of major companies including market leaders and household names with a presence across the majority of EU member states. It is deliberately composed to represent a broad cross section of business sectors, including from energy intensive and nonenergy intensive sectors.

Objectives CLG members are committed to creating business models that both address their climate impact and build resilience to the ever-increasing effects of climate change. They seek to share experiences with policymakers and business to promote ambitious and effective outcomes which:

ensure cumulative global carbon emissions do not exceed one trillion tonnes help achieve the goal of net-zero emissions well before 2100 limit global temperature rise to well below 2°C build an economy that delivers the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Activities Through high-level convening, quality research, and new partnerships, the CLG informs public policy and leads the wider business community by example.

The CLG is a European group, working at the EU, international and member state level and has the following workstreams: 1. Developing the evidence base with its members 2. Driving broader, deeper and more focussed engagement with policy makers 3. Working with the right partnerships to multiply impact It also works across three themes: Raising Ambition, Carbon Policy and Driving Innovation.

One or two success stories achieved In 2014, CLG led a package of work with a broad range of companies from many sectors

to create enough clear political support for European leaders to agree to a 2030 target of at least a 40% emissions cut. This work is ongoing and the Corporate Leaders Group continues to support an ambitious target in Europe.

In 2015, CLG published a report, 10 years of Carbon Pricing in Europe – A business perspective, to mark the ten-year anniversary of the EU Emissions Trading System. The report contained interesting insights from a range of companies covered by the System. It focussed on the actions companies had taken and the drivers behind these actions, whether and how the European carbon price had impacted on these actions and what other carbon reduction policies were relevant. The report concluded by making recommendations for future climate policies based on this feedback from real industry experiences.


In 2015 the CLG, in partnership with the We Mean Business Coalition (of which the CLG is a founding member) worked with thousands of corporations and investors to urge world leaders to ensure that, a clear and specific long-term emissions goal was included in the final Paris agreement.

The CLG has also delivered a number of internationally focused activities. These include: L’Appel de Paris: The Paris Pledge for Action Corporate Climate Communiqués IPCC Climate Science Business Briefings
