Despite acknowledging that climate change will heavily impact strategy and operations, only 37% of the world’s top 2000 firms have set full net-zero targets across all three scopes of emissions, and only 16% are on track to reach net-zero in their operations by 2050. Join us for a discussion around how to move the dial from commitment to action on net-zero.
What are the common pitfalls and challenges? Why, given the current geopolitical uncertainty, does it make sense to continue to make strides, and where should the focus lie? What are the key elements to set your net-zero roadmap up for success?
Join Kirsten Hund, General Manager Climate and Nature at Vale Base metals, Priti Hoffmann, Partner Climate impact at Deloitte and Diala Beinke, Director Net Zero Strategy at Deloitte, as they discuss the key elements necessary for creating a successful net-zero roadmap, offering practical insights to help your organization make meaningful progress in this vital area.
