Simply put, the outlook is grim.But there is hope. By the end of 2022, 70 countriesthat account for 90% of global GDP5and 76% of totalemissions6had pledged to reach net zero, and out ofCOP27 in Sharm El Sheikh came a much sharper focus onimplementation. Looking to the near future, COP28, whichwill take place in the UAE in December 2023, will bea global stock take, and the world can expect realprogress, not just good intentions.1.0 Introduction e) left to With all eyes looking to the December horizon, it is notjust governments pushing to fulfil their net zeropledges. To date, 702 of the world’s largest publiclytraded companies have committed to the same goal,7with 18,700 businesses sharing their 2022 climate,forest, and water security impacts with non-profitglobal disclosure system, CDP.8Meanwhile, more than2,200 companies that constitute over one-third ofglobal market capitalization have been working withthe Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) to have theirtargets validated9.Across geographies, the extent and type ofdecarbonization commitments that companies aremaking vary widely, but there is one thing that unitesall businesses around the world: Every company onthe net zero journey will have to dig deep into theirorganization and engage with the entire ecosystem todeliver on their promises. Bold leadership:How bold and encompassing should the emissions reduction ambition be?▪Should the company commit to the ‘Scope 1,2,3’ method of categorizinggreenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as set out by the GHG Protocol corporatestandard? Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions from company-owned andcontrolled resources, Scope 2 emissions are the result of the generation ofenergy purchased from a utility provider, and Scope 3 emissions include allother indirect emissions that occur along a company’s value chain.▪Should the company set aggressive 2030 and 2050 targets relating to thesescopes? Currently, companies are obliged to report Scope 1 and Scope 2emissions, while reporting on Scope 3 is voluntary and more challenging.▪Will the company make dramatic portfolio moves, pursue new businessmodels, and reallocate resources accordingly?▪Should the company proactively help shape a green ecosystem around itsown business scope and boundaries?Delivering on the promise of net zero is a leadership challenge forcompanies. While the magnitude and complexity of this challenge isgenerally well accepted, there is no standardized or uniform approachfor companies to build upon. As such, company leaders are nowpresented with critical strateg
