SDI AOP strongly aligned with IIGCC Climate solutions guidance

The SDI taxonomy has been designed to focus on products and services which contribute to the sustainable development goals, so there is a natural fit for those under the climate theme. Our approach governed by the founding asset owners is developed by applying the same principles in the IIGCC guidance of Transparency, Standardisation and Robustness. We build transparency into our data and methodologies, and it is a central tenet of the WBCSD Avoided Emissions Guidance which we apply.
