Global companies are under pressure from regulators, financers, consumers, and their employees to reduce their carbon footprint and prioritize sustainability efforts. But while we have seen tremendous momentum with corporate sustainability goal-setting, decarbonization is complex to execute and only 28% of these companies are on pace to meet these goals*.
Commonly adopted solutions that range from carbon offsets and improving efficiencies may sound simple, but significant carbon cuts require sound technical advice, in-depth planning and support. Luckily, there is a convergence of key enablers to support these ambitions. These include digital advancements, positive policy changes and financing mechanisms.
Yet, the risks remain. A lack of proper planning or a robust decarbonization roadmap can easily derail a company down a wrong, costly path.
