Playing on a Global Stage
Corporations: The major leverage point for Net Zero
The top 100 global corporations are responsible for 71% of climate change. The smallest has 193,000 employees and the largest 2.3m.
How can companies become operationally ready, with tens of thousands of employees, suppliers and distributers, in multiple countries?
A Leap into Uncharted Waters
Mobilizing for Net Zero involves rethinking the end-to-end value chain, from suppliers through to distribution channels.
Companies must align all functions in order to define their part in reaching corporate-wide Net Zero targets.
Most companies have no playbook or historical experience to prepare them.
Create Your Net Zero Playbook
Adapting to the world of Net Zero requires learning to play an unfamiliar game. Companies must:
Learn how to define a common focus
Coalesce key stakeholders around a shared goal, and
Pivot rapidly in record time.
Today, we need:
1. Speed
Given sudden disruptions, response times in days or weeks, not months and years.
2. Alignment
Coordination with external suppliers, distribution channels, regulators, investors, and beyond
3. Scale
Company-wide mobilization of tens or hundreds of thousands of employees
