innovation for net zero
why innovation for net zero?
To meet the Net Zero target, unprecedented innovation will be required across the economy. Innovation will not only include inventing new technologies, but also new ways of deploying existing technologies. There will also be the need to create novel consumer offerings, new business models, and most importantly, new policy, regulation and market design.
Companies that align their business strategies with climate science are best- placed to thrive as the global economy transitions to a net-zero future by 2050. In addition to demonstrating moral leadership, implementing net-zero related measures catalyzes competitive advantages by driving innovation, boosting brand reputation, enhancing investor confidence and increasing resilience to future regulatory changes.
Transformative targets such as net-zero emissions can spark opportunities for innovation within an organization, release creative thinking and enable employees to challenge the status quo.
