As a consequence of the Paris Agreement to limit the world temperature increase to 1.5°C, almost all major companies have committed to net-zero emission plans.

Businesses have diverse reasons for reducing their carbon footprint in addition to “just” contributing to making the world a better place: to comply with legislation and regulations, to meet the increasing sustainability expectations of customers and employees, and to meet their shareholders’ expectations as carbon footprint is starting to enter the investment equation as a pivotal factor.

Defining a carbon roadmap and emission targets is important, and so is carbon accounting to measure and manage the carbon footprint. But most business are still struggling to implement effective strategies to actually realise their ambitious net-zero plans they have committed to, but also to do so in the most cost-efficient way.
