Taking climate action will help future-proof your business.
How will taking ambitious action in this area benefit your company?
- Improve efficiency and cut operating costs by reducing energy usage and emissions
- Strengthen your reputation with customers, suppliers, investors and regulators whilst reducing your exposure to climate risks
- Stay one step ahead of policy changes and climate regulations
- Ensure you leave no one behind in the transition to an environmentally sustainable economy
Climate Action*
Target 1
Set corporate science-based net-zero emissions reductions targets through the Science Based Targets initiative, aligning action with a 1.5°C pathway with a goal of reaching net-zero by 2050 at the latest.
Target 2
Contribute to a just transition by taking concrete actions that address social impacts of climate change mitigation and adaptation measures in partnership with actors such as workers, unions, communities and suppliers.
*For both Climate Action targets, the Forward Faster initiative is unable to accept commitments from fossil fuel companies.
For Climate Action Target 1, the Forward Faster initiative will accept both net-zero commitments and validated science-based net-zero targets as long as the commitments/validations have been officially processed by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
All UN Global Compact participants with net-zero commitments or targets through the SBTi will be recognized on the Forward Faster website in addition to the SBTi website.
