With climate scientists warning that we have just 10 years to prevent irreversible damage to the planet due to climate change, companies large and small are being asked to embrace climate action, set a target to reduce their carbon emissions and develop a robust strategy to tackle them.
In this session you’ll hear from peers at the frontline of corporate climate action and hear the evidence on why setting a climate strategy is no longer a nice to have, but essential in securing innovation support, winning new business, and attracting the best talent to your business.
Gabrielle Giner, architect of BT’s climate strategy, will outline how the company approached its strategy, engaged the board, and secured the buy in of employees, while Thomas Soar from Utility Team - who are working with techUK on implementing its new climate commitment – will outline the fundamental steps all companies can take to develop a robust net zero strategy to reduce their environmental impact while realising the commercial benefits.
Chair:
Matt Mace, Content Editor, Edie
Speakers:
Gabrielle Giner, Head of Environmental Sustainability, BT
Thomas Soar, Business Development Manager, Utility Team
