BusinessGreen DeskFlix - How to build a roadmap for a net zero business
Tuesday 10 November | 10am - 11.30am
With thousands of businesses around the world setting or considering net zero emissions targets, attention is turning to how to deliver on genuinely ambitious decarbonisation goals. How can businesses of all sizes develop credible and comprehensive net zero strategies while achieving their commercial ambitions?
This BusinessGreen Deskflix event, hosted in association with ENGIE as part of the world's first Net Zero Festival, will provide an invaluable deep dive into how leading businesses are developing roadmaps that can put them on track for net zero, bolstering their resilience and enhancing their competitiveness in the process.
Through a series of presentations, panel debates, case studies, and interactive workshops, this in-depth virtual briefing will explore the elements that need to be considered when developing a net zero strategy and the financing and procurement options to achieve net zero.
Offering essential insights for companies that have either set a net zero target or are considering doing so, the event will bring together leading experts and top sustainability executives to discuss how it is possible to both develop and then follow a decarbonisation roadmap that can transform an organisation, positioning it to seize the opportunities offered by the net zero transition.

Keynote: Developing and financing a credible net zero strategy
A recent study has shown that just 16% of FTSE 100 companies has realistic decarbonisation strategies in place, despite 45% having committed to net zero. This keynote session will explore the key elements needed for developing an effective and credible net zero strategy and the financing and procurement options to achieve net zero. How can you best fund your net zero strategies to deliver guaranteed carbon reductions for the longer term, in the most efficient and cost-effective way for your organisation.
