Why are there so many different reporting frameworks?

While there is considerable consolidation underway, the sheer number of different reporting frameworks remains a challenge for businesses. As the industry continues to mature, you can expect to see more consolidation between frameworks and regulators.

What are the key components of a robust sustainability strategy?

The following practices are key to building an informed, robust sustainability strategy:

  1. Accountability: ensuring a commitment to responsible ethical practices
  2. Engagement: two-way communication with internal teams and external stakeholders
  3. Ambition: having a clear vision of how your strategy aligns with your business ambitions
  4. Resilience: managing risk proactively whilst adhering to best practice
  5. Momentum: using a roadmap to focus on the next steps
  6. Impact: understanding how the strategy maximises your sustainability impact

Is Net Zero the same as Carbon Neutral?

Net Zero involves reducing your emissions to as close to zero as possible before balancing out any remaining emissions through high-quality offsets. Carbon neutrality is about offsetting your entire carbon footprint without first making reductions. The EU is planning to ban ‘climate neutral’ claims by 2026 and the UK is expected to follow suit as there is a high risk of greenwashing. For your business to have a truly impactful climate impact, a net zero pathway focused on carbon reduction is the path forward.
