However, while nearly 8 in 10 US companies say they have plans to go carbon neutral and achieve net zero CO2 emissions, 4 in 10 claim they have no sustainability strategy or implementation plan.
Kayalin Akens-Irby, head of growth at Planet FWD told: in partnership with Climate Collaborative, they have developed a set of guidelines, titled “Climate Action and Innovation Matrix”, to provide companies – regardless of size – with insights into what proven sustainability programmes look like in practice and the steps needed to implement them. Five key steps have been identified: Measurement, Commitment, Action, Public Disclosure and Communication. //
