Net Zero Must Mean Business

For too long, there was no consensus on what a serious corporate net-zero strategy would actually look like in practice. But, thanks to a recently launched set of common standards, businesses will no longer have any excuse for falling short of their publicly stated commitments.

COPENHAGEN – The world is awash in net-zero emissions targets. A growing number of countries, regions, cities, and companies have announced that they will adjust their growth strategies to align with the Paris climate agreement’s goal of keeping global temperatures within 1.5° Celsius of pre-industrial levels. By the end of 2021, roughly 90% of global GDP was covered by some type of net-zero pledge, including those made by more than 680 of the world’s largest corporations.
