Climate change and low-carbon transition policies in state-owned enterprises
State-owned enterprises (SOEs) are significant actors across sectors that account
for substantial sources of global greenhouse gas emissions, such as energy, transportation
and infrastructure. To counter this, increasing numbers of state owners are incorporating
environmental and climate-related goals in their SOE portfolios. These efforts go
hand-in-hand with broader international commitments and an increasing awareness that
governments as enterprise owners should “lead by example”. Using data collected from
32 jurisdictions, this report describes national approaches towards promoting climate
change and low-carbon transition policies in SOEs based on the OECD Guidelines for
Corporate Governance of SOEs.
