Fig. 2: Sustainability initiatives in the energy-intensive sectors.
From: The alignment of companies' sustainability behavior and emissions with global climate targets
Panel a shows the average number of initiatives per report (bar plot, left axis and colour legend on top of panel), the total number of reports (black line, right axis) and the total number of initiatives (red line, right axis). Panel b shows the skewness of the distribution of the initiatives compared to a uniform distribution (black diagonal line). Panel c (N = 9330) shows the temporal evolution of three different sustainability strategies (shown on a standardised scale to compare trends). Circles and error bars in panel c show means and standard errors of the means, respectively. Overall, the figure shows a significant heterogeneity in the sustainability behaviour of companies in our sample.
