English term or phrase: claim (contexto)

hola! supongo que en este contexto es "atribuirse" pero tengo dudas.
I don't agree with everything the campaign proposes. It allows businesses to """claim""" reductions in carbon intensity as if they were real cuts: in other words, they can measure their reductions relative to turnover rather than in absolute terms. There's an uncomfortable precedent for this: cutting carbon intensity was George Bush's proposal for tackling climate change. As economic growth is the major cause of rising emissions, this looks like a cop-out. The cuts will not be independently audited, which might undermine their credibility with the government.
