1. InfluenceMap.org Objective, neutral analysis of corporate influence on climate policy February 2015

2. What is InfluenceMap A Web-based mapping of relationships between companies, business associations and lobbying firms in the context of climate change policy. A knowledge base of the extent to which companies and business associations are influencing climate policy, based on sets of legitimate and transparent evidence sources. A scoring and comparison system for quantifying this issue.

3. What is InfluenceMap Internet based tool, graphical in nature that will allow users to gain an overview of climate policy influencing activity. Layers of hyperlinks to details of our data relating to business associations, companies, individuals and finally discrete examples of influencing activity. Our transparent scoring system will allow comparison between companies and business associations’ involvement in influencing climate policy, clearly showing the logic of each score.

4. Who is behind InfluenceMap Founded as a UK based non-profit by environmental and Internet entrepreneur Dylan Tanner (ERM, ekobai.com) and former CDP Lead Policy Analyst Thomas O'Neill.ERMekobai.comCDP Working in partnership with the Union of Concerned Scientists on methodology for assessment of corporate influence.Union of Concerned Scientists Funded by leading foundations interested in creating a neutral, objective knowledge base on this important topic.

5. How is InfluenceMap Unique A living, dynamic knowledge base, updated in real time. We do not issue 100 page reports. Or retain highly paid climate experts. We assess a range of evidence sources (GRI reports, CDP responses, disclosure web sites, consultation outcomes) and weigh them according to reliability and importance in our scoring. We are objective and neutral – its up to civil society to refer to our tool and decide to what extent corporation should be involved in the climate policy process.

6. InfluenceMap: Looking Ahead Working tool by summer 2015 – looking towards UNFCCC Paris Dec 2015 Want to partner with like minded people and organizations Following first iteration we will absorb user and community feedback Discussions with anchor donors ongoing.

9. Mapping the Links Relation ships Companies Business Associations Key People Lobbyists Strands of Evidence We map relationships between companies, lobbyists, people etc. and also connect these to strands of evidence. The strength of each relationship is weighted.

10. Assessment We have worked out, along with the Union of Concerned Scientists, a set of indicators covering corporate influence on climate policy.Union of Concerned Scientists

11. Assessment Data sources are chosen carefully to ensure we have similar data for each company. Data sources are weighted by reliability.

12. Scoring and Updating We query each of our data sources against these indicators, using well defined questions and highly transparent and consistent instructions to our scoring team. Scores can be viewed for companies and business associations, by indicator and by data source with the full logic apparent. Aggregate scores can be used to compare business associations and companies across geographies or sectors. Scores change in real time as new data becomes apparent.
