Climate change is an immediate global challenge that requires swift, economy-wide transitions to safeguard our future. As more and more governments adopt net zero commitments, companies need to proactively manage and prepare for this transition.

Addressing your environmental impact is a way to become a more sustainable business, one that is more competitive and able to attract new customers, talent, and investors. It will also enable you to access sustainable finance, which has seen robust growth over the past decade.

Companies that get their climate action strategy right will be well placed to capitalise on growth opportunities while creating positive economic, environmental, and social impact.

KEY CLIENT CHALLENGES

Companies looking to get started face a number of challenges, including:

1. We have not started defining our greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory. Where do we start?
2. How could different climate change scenarios affect our business, and how can we prepare for these potential changes and risks?
3. How do we build a net zero plan that is consistent with the company’s core strategy and growth plans?
4. How can we build a net zero plan that gives us a competitive advantage?
5. How can we best report our climate-related risks and opportunities in a way that is meaningful to our investors and other stakeholders?

Proactively managing climate change risks and transitioning to a more sustainable business model is essential. By addressing these challenges and seeking expert advice, companies can not only secure a competitive advantage, but also make a positive contribution to the environment and society.
