SUSTAINABILITY SCHOOL #106 - Net-Zero purchases: What they are and why they matter?

Description

The world is facing an urgent climate crisis, and government commitments to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are often insufficient and frequently unmet.

While many governments have made promises, the reality is that relying solely on government actions will not be enough to mitigate the growing impact of climate change.

There is a gap that needs to be filled—and businesses play a crucial role in this process.

Most companies are still standing on the sidelines, hoping that government policies will resolve the climate crisis alone. This passive approach is a significant obstacle in the fight against climate change. If businesses do not take proactive steps to set and achieve science-based net-zero goals, the climate cannot be stabilized.

This webinar will explore the urgent need for large companies to move beyond reliance on government actions and take responsibility by adopting bold, science-based climate strategies.

In this context, Net-Zero Procurement represents a powerful tool that enables companies, governments, and organizations to use their purchasing power as a market force to drive climate action.
