Pilot Testing

AIM Association Test Pilot Program


Since its launch in 2023, the Advanced and Indirect Mitigation (AIM) Platform has released guiding principles and draft criteria to help companies identify and claim emissions reduction interventions associated with their value chain. The AIM Platform will be piloting the Advanced and Indirect Mitigation (AIM) Platform Association Test (“AIM Association Test”) in 2025, which will cover much of the content of Criterion 1 from the draft criteria released in May 2024.

The AIM Platform Association Test will help companies determine whether a potential emission reduction investment (referred to as an intervention) is adequately “associated” with their value chain. Assessing if an intervention is associated with a company’s value chain is a critical step to determining if the investment can count towards a company’s climate target. Learnings from the pilot test will help ensure that the final guidance can be implemented by a wide variety of companies across sectors.

In early January 2025, the draft AIM Platform Association Test will be available to companies participating in the pilot process. The pilot test will run from January – April 2025. The pilot organizers will use feedback collected in the pilot test to revise the Association Test. A final publication is anticipated for a late 2025 release, alongside additional intervention quality and eligibility guidance.
