Chapter Zero Switzerland

📣 REPORT LAUNCH 📣 Throughout 2024, #Nature has risen higher up the boardroom agenda with increasing emphasis on nature risks and dependencies from regulators and investors.    While November’s #COP16 galvanised global action, Non-Executive Directors and Boards looking ahead to 2025 have much to gain from ensuring nature remains central to climate strategy - not only as an enabler of net zero through its critical role in carbon sequestration and emissions reduction, but also because integrating nature and investing in it represents a significant and essential opportunity for businesses to secure long-term value and resilience. Launched today, Nature for Boards: A primer, created in collaboration with Pollination and Korn Ferry, offers the latest thinking on: 🏛️ What future-facing governance and leadership looks like  🌳 Nature fundamentals for business  🚦 Directors’ duties and nature risks  💡 Understanding nature-related opportunities  🪜 What steps directors can be taking now  🌳 How to align your Board’s talent strategy with nature To view a short excerpt, please click on the below, and to read and download the full report, please visit: https://lnkd.in/etTDPBvk Huge thanks to the report’s author Thea Philip, and all the contributors and teams Pollination, Chapter Zero and Korn Ferry that worked on and supported this piece: Sarah Barker, Jane "Carter" Ingram, Annick G.

Directors, it’s time to lead. ⏰    ‘Business as usual’ is no longer a viable approach. The urgency of the climate crisis requires nothing less than transformational action, if we are to successfully transition to low greenhouse-gas emissions, climate-resilient economy.    Transition planning will impact the core direction of travel for your company, and as a non-executive director, you *need* to be involved. Boards should ensure transition plans are aligned with, and embedded into, organisational strategy, governance, and all corporate functions.    The Chapter Zero Transition Planning Toolkit is designed to help you better understand transition planning and your role within it, so you can oversee the development and delivery of a credible transition plan that drives impact and builds resilience.    Get your guide: https://bit.ly/3OmsBhO    #DirectorsItsTimeToLead #TransitionPlanningToolkit #TransitionPlanning
