🚨 Let’s clarify "Net-Zero" With “net-zero” becoming a corporate catchphrase, how do we ensure these commitments are more than just words? Here are some foundational principles to guide a credible net-zero journey ⬇️ 👉 Understand the Key Terms Not all “net-zero” claims mean the same thing. Terms like carbon neutral, neutralisation, and mitigation each represent different approaches. Recognize that carbon neutrality often involves offsetting, while true net-zero prioritizes reducing emissions within your operations first, leaving only the hardest-to-abate emissions for neutralisation. 👉 Apply the Mitigation Hierarchy Credible net-zero strategies start with decarbonising the company’s own value chain before turning to external measures. This ensures that companies focus on reducing emissions at the source, aligning with SBTi’s standards, which discourage over-reliance on offsets as a quick fix. 👉 Beware of Greenwashing Risks The rising demand for sustainability has, unfortunately, led to vague claims. When communicating net-zero goals, ensure they are based on science-based targets with measurable, time-bound outcomes. Aligning with standards like SBTi’s “Net-Zero Standard” can help prevent ambiguous language and bolster accountability. 👉 Invest in Long-Term Impact Short-term gains are part of the journey, but achieving net-zero requires long-term planning. Aim for near-term science-based targets as a stepping stone, but plan for extensive decarbonisation by 2050, with over 90% reductions compared to baseline emissions. Explore our blog for a deeper dive into building a credible net-zero strategy: https://lnkd.in/d2_ceWmD Creating a roadmap that respects these principles not only strengthens #sustainability commitments but also builds #transparency and #trust with stakeholders. #Sustainability #SustainableLeadership #NetZero #ClimateStrategy #CorporateResponsibility #Decarbonisation #ThoughtLeadership #triply

Understanding Key ESG Terms for a Sustainable Future 🌱 As we continue to navigate the evolving world of sustainability, it's important to grasp the key concepts driving change. Here’s a quick guide to some essential ESG terms: Carbon Footprint: The total greenhouse gas emissions an individual or organization generates across its lifecycle, from production to disposal. Carbon Neutral: Balancing emitted carbon with removal efforts, aiming for a net-zero carbon footprint through reductions and offsets. Carbon Credit: A tradable permit allowing companies to offset their emissions by funding projects that reduce global CO₂ emissions. Net Zero: Reducing emissions as close to zero as possible, with remaining emissions offset by removal strategies, focusing on cutting emissions at the source. #ESG #NetZero #Sustainability #ClimateAction #CarbonNeutral #CarbonFootprint #CorporateResponsibility #GreenFuture

🌍 Understanding Scope 4 Emissions and the Risks of Carbon-washing 🌍 Ever heard of Scope 4 emissions? They’re all about the emissions that never get generated. While this concept could reshape how we approach sustainability, it comes with its own set of challenges and risks. We are thrilled to have Macarena Massuh, a master in sustainability, educate us on this topic. Her depth of knowledge and commitment to the field make this blog a must-read! Macarena explains that as companies push for net zero and carbon neutrality, a new concept is making waves in the sustainability sector: Scope 4 emissions, or "avoided emissions." Unlike Scope 1, 2, and 3, which focus on direct and indirect emissions, Scope 4 is about preventing emissions from ever being generated. And that this idea could transform environmental impact reporting, the challenges it faces, and the potential pitfalls of carbon washing. Read our latest blog to stay ahead in the sustainability game and learn how your business can effectively incorporate Scope 4 into your strategy. 🌱 Link in comments! #Sustainability #Scope4Emissions #CarbonNeutral #GreenBusiness #NetZero #NetNadaGuestWriter

It's so easy to get confused with all these terms, and how to use them! We hope this episode will help in wading through and avoiding greenwashing 🌿
In the sustainability vocabulary, terms like net zero, carbon neutral, carbon credits, and carbon offsetting can create much confusion. This week Felicia Jackson interviews Chris Hocknell, founder of sustainability consultancy Eight Versa, to understand how these concepts differ and overlap, touching upon the complex and evolving topic of monitoring and reporting on carbon footprint. Amid growing awareness of the environmental impact of traditional business models, executives are feeling the pressure to act, but it can be difficult to pick the right strategies, implement or effectively communicate them. Even companies such as Microsoft, which used to claim to be carbon neutral, have had their strategies questioned, while other businesses are quietly backtracking on their commitments as they find them too challenging to achieve. Are these targets pushing real climate action, or do they encourage greenwashing?

Journey to Net Zero: How ESG Paves the Way! Net Zero isn't a fad, it's a global moonshot to achieve climate balance. But how do we get there? Enter ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) - the compass guiding us towards a sustainable future. Why ESG Matters: 1. Environmental Impact: It's your climate scorecard. Measure greenhouse gas emissions, waste management, and energy efficiency. 2. Social Responsibility: People matter . Ensure fair labor standards, human rights, and a safe workplace. 3. Governance: Transparency is key . Establish clear rules and policies for accountability and stakeholder engagement. ⚖️ Steps to Net Zero with ESG: 1. Measure Up: Know your footprint. Calculate your organization's carbon emissions. 2. Data is Power: Track your impact. Monitor energy usage and environmental performance. 3. Chart Your Course: Develop a plan. Set strategies to reduce and eliminate emissions. 4. Continuous Improvement: Never stop refining. Regularly evaluate and improve your efforts. ♻️ 5. Kick the Fossil Fuel Habit: Embrace renewables. Transition to clean energy sources like solar and wind. 6. Tech for Good: Innovation is key. Invest in clean technologies that lower energy consumption. 7. Sustainable by Nature: Respect our resources. Manage water, land, and raw materials responsibly. ♻️ Discussion Time: Let's get real! What innovative strategies can organizations use to slash carbon emissions and achieve their ESG goals?
