Join Green Economy London and Project Neutral to learn about the importance of measuring the impacts your business has on the environment. This includes areas such as ghg emissions from heating/cooling and electricity usage, transportation related emissions, water usage, and the amount of waste your business produces. All of these factor into the overall impact your business has on the environment. Think about it, how can you track reductions if you don’t know where your starting point is? When you make your carbon footprint visible, it helps to define where to make changes and encourages people to want to make changes.

If your business is interested in aligning with the UN’s Sustainable Development goals, impact measurement is an important part in achieving these goals. Learn how to connect metrics that will help you meet the SDGs related to environmental sustainability.

Jake Miller from Project Neutral will teach you how to use the Project Neutral calculator to measure your individual environmental impact. This is a great opportunity to use this calculator as an employee engagement tool, and get employees onboard with your business sustainability goals.

Adopting a net zero strategy within your organization will uncover internal challenges and opportunities. Navigating through the process is a fundamental step in creating a resilient and enduring organization. To better understand the realities of setting a net-zero strategy and implementing the measures to get there, ClimateWise Business Network would like to invite you to a panel discussion with business leaders who are building the roadmap. Join us as we discuss developing a plan, share actionable advice, and engage in a cross-industry conversation.

Join us for a conversation about the power of companies (big and small) coming together to tackle the climate crisis, and hear why Global Optimism and Amazon co-founded The Climate Pledge—a bold commitment to become net zero carbon by 2040—10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement.

In this one-hour webcast, GreenBiz Editorial Director Heather Clancy will moderate a discussion with Global Optimism’s founding partner Tom Rivett-Carnac, Amazon’s Head of Worldwide Sustainability Kara Hurst, and Verizon’s Vice President of Global Supply Chain Operations & Chief Sustainability Officer to dive deep on why the time to take action is now.

Among the topics:

• The realities of our planet, and where climate change stands
• How coming together is better, and what companies can expect by taking The Climate Pledge
• How companies are rethinking their approach to business, and how this collective effort will accelerate progress
• Investing in decarbonizing technologies, and putting them into practice
• Embracing nature based solutions as part of the carbon reduction equation, but not as the primary way

Moderator:

• Heather Clancy, Editorial Director, GreenBiz Group

Speakers: 

• James Gowen, Vice President of Global Supply Chain Operations & Chief Sustainability Officer, Verizon
• Tom Rivett-Carnac, Founding Partner, Global Optimism
• Kara Hurst, Head of Worldwide Sustainability, Amazon
