The push and pull of net zero: drivers of climate action
South Pole's climate experts found that while companies are making more and more claims around net zero, only 13% have both a net zero target and a science-based target (SBT).
The new net zero standard
The SBTi has launched a robust corporate net zero standard, which sets out clear requirements on what a company needs to do to achieve net zero.
It is within this context that the world is looking closely at corporate net zero commitments. And the resounding cry? 'Actions speak louder than words'.
Waiting for the perfect solution, or watching others try first, won't make it easier. In fact, the cost of tackling climate change increases with every year – for everyone. Delaying efforts on net zero puts the goals of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C at risk.
This is why an increasing number of companies are already setting net zero targets. And luckily, we now have clear global standards to guide organisations on how to successfully embed a credible net zero target within their climate strategy.
