Private Sector Net-Zero Goal: How Can Companies Contribute to Achieving Global Carbon Neutrality and Report on Their Strategies?

Driven by numerous international initiatives such as the recent Race to Zero campaign, the concept of carbon neutrality has become widely accepted since COP21, but how it is understood and implemented varies from one stakeholder to another.

The Initiative ACT jointly sponsored by ADEME and the CDP, as well as the Net Zero Initiative led by Carbone 4, aim to provide a framework for companies’ actions and communications in order to facilitate and report on their alignment with decarbonization pathways consistent with the Paris Agreement.

• What are the key elements of a successful and ambitious effort by companies to achieve carbon neutrality?
• How are businesses contributing to achieving global carbon neutrality?
• To what extent are companies accountable for their carbon neutrality commitments?
