The Path to Net Zero

More and more companies are making a pledge to achieve 'net zero' carbon emissions and it certainly sounds like a good idea. But what does this claim actually mean? Until we have a universal definition and guidelines for corporate net zero pledges, where does a company begin? What's the best path a company can take when moving from ambition to action? What role do offsets play in achieving a net zero goal? We'll start with the basics and get into the details in this highly interactive conversation.
