Statement of Resource Person, Dylan Tanner 6 November 2018 Appendix B: Details of InflueneMap’s Metrics Full details of our methodology may be found online at: https://influencemap.org/FAQ To measure and score corporate influence on climate change policy, we have developed a comprehensive process of examining a series of publicly available and reliable data sources (e.g. legislative consultations, respected press, CDP responses) and querying them, for each corporation, against a set of climate change policy and legislation related queries (e.g. position on a carbon tax, energy efficiency standards). We score each data source/query intersection (or cell) on a 5point scale, with clearly consistent evidence and guidelines for our scorers. There are 96 such scoring cells at present and the organizational score for each corporation is computed over these, by our proprietary algorithm that accounts for weightings and irrelevant data sources/queries. The organizational score is expressed as a % with 100% representing very supportive influence on climate policy. We note here that a corporation and an influencer (e.g. a trade body, chamber of commerce, advocacy group) are scored in exactly the same way to arrive at their respective organizational score. A corporation, as well as its organizational score will have a relationship score. It is computed by aggregating the organizational scores of the Influencers (trade bodies etc.) it has relationships with, weighted by both the strength of these relationships and the relative importance of the Influencers towards climate change policy. A corporation will have a number of relationships with Influencers mapped in our database. In turn these Influencers will themselves have organizational scores as computed by exactly the same method as was done for the corporations. Such relationships vary in nature and strength and we account for this in our assessment by assigning relationship strengths. For example a trade association may have 2000 member corporations with 10 of them on its executive committee. The 10 executive committee members would have strength of 8 compared to 3 for the regular members, for example. Details of how we compute this can be found here. The relationship score is expressed as a % with 100% representing very supportive influence on climate policy. In general if a corporation's organizational score is roughly equal to its relationship score the corporation's positions and interactions with climate policies are in line with those of the key influencers it has relationships with. If the organizational score is much higher than its relationship score, the trade bodies and other influencers the corporation is involved in are misaligned with the corporation on climate policy. For Corporations, the organizational scores and relationship scores are combined to result in its Total Score. A score of 75% or more indicates the company is supporting polices and regulations towards a low carbon future. Conversely lower than a 50% band generally indicates obstructing behaviour. The engagement intensity (EI) is a metric of the extent to which the company is engaging on climate change policy matters, whether positively or negatively. It is a number from 0 (no engagement at all) to 100 (full engagement on all queries/data points. Clearly energy companies are more affected by climate regulations and will have a higher EI than, for example retailers. So an organization’s score should be looked at in conjunction with this metric to gauge the amount of evidence we are using in each case as a basis for scoring. On our scale, an EI of more than 25 indicates a relatively large amount of climate policy engagement. 17
