Achieving climate neutrality is becoming increasingly important for companies and is becoming part of their corporate objectives as part of their climate strategy. The aim is to continuously reduce CO2 emissions throughout the company and its value chain.

CO2 compensation / neutralisation is a proven aspect of these approaches. This SBTi video reviews neutralisation as it relates to the SBTi…

We’ve all heard of it: the aim of becoming “net-zero”. Companies around the world are setting net-zero targets, yet there currently isn’t a global standard to distinguish what truly constitutes a science-based net-zero target. Now, in the lead-up to COP 26, the SBTi is hard at work developing the first-ever global standard for net-zero criteria.…

Auch die Deutsche Politik…

With the global pandemic, the differences between the various social classes in terms of equal…
