Activating Net Zero

Many corporations, cities, municipalities and governments have joined the race to reduce carbon and greenhouse gas emissions, achieving Net Zero by 2050. But what is Net Zero?

The Path to Net Zero

Through our Activating Net Zero podcast series, we explore – in bitesize episodes – what Net Zero means and how organisations can break this down into manageable actions, of avoiding, reducing, investing and innovating.

Investing to remove carbon elsewhere within your value chain

It is increasingly recognised that organisations are likely to continue to emit residual emissions from operations and their supply chains. But to achieve a Net Zero position, action must be taken which balances this out through off-site mechanisms through removing or avoiding emissions elsewhere.

Innovate by introducing new methods and technologies to cut emissions

Innovation has provided much of technology and expertise we have to deal with much of the emissions, if applied correctly. However, with more of the world’s investors realising the risk and opportunity associated with building a Net Zero economy, we look at new ways of bridging the gap.
