Net Zero refers to achieving a balance between the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced and the amount removed from the atmosphere.

The goal is to reduce emissions as much as possible and offset the remaining emissions by using methods such as carbon capture or offsetting through carbon credits.

Net-zero is important because it helps to combat climate change and its impacts, such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and food and water insecurity.

Achieving net-zero requires improving energy efficiency, reducing waste, increasing "Resource Efficiency" and a transition to clean and renewable energy sources Net-zero can have many benefits, including reducing energy costs, creating jobs, and improving air quality and public health.

Governments, businesses, and individuals all have a role to play in achieving net-zero, through implementing policies, investing in renewable energy, and adopting sustainable business practices towards a Green Economy.

The target date for achieving Net-Zero varies by country and region, with some aiming for 2050 and others as early as 2030.

Why Should You Go Net Zero

Reputation

Companies that achieve net-zero status can enhance their reputation as environmentally responsible and sustainable, which can attract customers, investors, and employees who prioritize sustainability.

Regulatory compliance

Governments are increasingly implementing regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and achieving net-zero can help companies stay in compliance with these regulations and avoid penalties or fines.

Risk mitigation

The transition to a net-zero economy is inevitable, and companies that take proactive steps to reduce their carbon footprint and adapt to sustainable practices can mitigate risks associated with the transition.

Competitive advantage

Companies that achieve net-zero emissions can gain a competitive advantage over their peers by reducing costs, enhancing efficiency, and attracting customers who prioritize sustainability.

Innovation opportunities

The transition to a net-zero economy presents opportunities for innovation in clean energy, sustainable products, and efficient processes, which can create new revenue streams and market opportunities.

Supply Chain Resilience

Achieving net-zero emissions can enhance the resilience of supply chains by as it adopts the concepts of "Lean Manufacturing", Process Efficiency reducing dependence on fossil fuels, improving energy efficiency, and promoting sustainable sourcing practices.

OPEX Savings

Taking a Business to Net Zero, invariably helps reduce OPEX and increases profitability. This ensures long term sustainability of the Company and its operations.

Access To Low-cost Financing

Investors and lenders are increasingly prioritizing sustainability and net-zero emissions, and companies that achieve net-zero can access a wider range of financing options and lower borrowing costs. Lenders also consider companies non-complaint as "high risk", and will soon stop funding projects which are non-complaint.

 

What are Science Based Targets

(SBTi) is a collaboration between CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute and the World Wide Fund for Nature and is one of the We Mean Business Coalition commitments. The initiative champions science-based target setting as a powerful way of boosting companies' competitive advantage in the transition to the low-carbon economy. Science-based targets are greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets that are in line with the level of decarbonization required to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement - to limit global warming to well-below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursue efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C.

When should you go Net Zero

Now!

Because recent regulations like Fit For 55, CBAM (Carbon Borner Adjustment Mechanism) and Greenwashing are enforcing Net Zero Transition. The Paris Climate Agreement aims to limit the average global temperature increase to <2° C and achieve Net Zero emissions of the mid century. The Paris Convention intends to enhance resilience and adaptation to climate impacts which are certain to occur.

European Union Rules

Impending EU laws on ESG disclosures will be a matter of survival for manufacturers, service providers and suppliers.

There is no escape from the impending EU rules requiring Sustainability Reporting. If you don’t start preparing now, you will be late when the legislation kicks in.
- Linda Kromjong – President, Amfori

Failing to oblige companies to respect the Paris Agreement and conduct climate due diligence would undermine the bloc’s ambition to become a Net Zero emissions economy.
