Rethinking climate leadership with Sweep

Climate action is facing political backlash, from watered-down EU regulation to the overturning of the EPA’s endangerment finding in the United States. Yet beneath the headlines, systemic climate risk is becoming harder for central banks, insurers and investors to ignore.

In this episode of Shaken Not Burned, Felicia speaks with Rachel Delacour, co-founder and CEO of Sweep, about the Climate Contribution Framework, developed with Mirova, ICARE and Winrock International. The framework builds on existing emissions standards but moves beyond footprint alone, assessing how companies reduce emissions, scale low-carbon solutions and finance climate innovation.

As investors search for credible signals of long-term resilience, this conversation explores whether we’ve been measuring the wrong thing — and what it would mean to evaluate companies by their full contribution to net zero rather than by emissions alone.

Sweep and Mirova Research Center launched the Climate Contribution Framework (CCF): A New Standard for Corporate Climate Action. This pioneering methodology developed by I Care by BearingPoint, and Winrock International offers an unprecedented unified, science-based benchmark to fairly measure and value the full spectrum of corporate contributions to global net zero.
