Achieving Net-Zero
The global shift toward renewable energy sources and technologies to achieve net-zero carbon emissions and combat climate change.
The trend: Achieving Net-Zero
Governments worldwide are setting ambitious net-zero targets, compelling industries to align with national and international climate goals. Half of the world’s 2,000 largest companies now have net-zero targets, a figure that has surged by 40 percent in the past two years. These corporate net-zero pledges impact every aspect of business, including supply chains, production methods, product offerings, investment decisions, and interactions with customers, partners, regulators and communities. In this evolving landscape, businesses must navigate challenges and seize opportunities by negotiating innovative contracts, investing in new asset classes, participating in the voluntary carbon credits market, and adapting to regulatory changes and subsidies.
