It was an honour to support the City of London Corporation host the Net Zero Delivery Summit, marking the halfway point between COP28 and COP29. Helping open the day, our CEO, Jennifer Jordan-Saifi, M.V.O., MBA, stressed that it was not only a halfway point between COPs, but a halfway point between 2020 and 2030, and it is critical we recognise the enormity of what lies ahead. By aligning industry, finance and country roadmaps, leveraging emerging technologies and collaborating across borders, we can rapidly accelerate the transition while providing the hope and opportunity that our customers and our citizens expect. But she noted that to do so, we must remain ambitious, and ensure sustainability is mainstreamed into every aspect of the global economy. After all, this is the growth story of our time. Echoing our Founder, His Majesty King Charles III, she stressed that to guarantee our future, we have no other choice than to make each day count.

Communication of the solutions is what is really expected and is what really matters. Phasing out Fossil Fuels is ok but how? How will be the agricultural industry? There are tons of answers towards the path to net zero and this needs to be well explained….
"There are lots of challenges in getting to Net Zero. I'd highlight public buy in. Not just the UK or the West but globally." Cameron Hepburn of Oxford Martin School identifies the need to engage the general public with the benefits and opportunities of the pathway to Net Zero. That brings political support which creates "a policy environment that can shift the economic incentives, which shifts the financing." We have the solutions. We need to create the right framework to encourage investment in them. The Sustainable Markets Initiative | #COP28

Co-Founder | Sustainability | Employee engagement | Behaviour change | Carbon footprints | Transition Plans
Really delighted to contribute to the CBI (Confederation of British Industry)’s Sustainability Community, on ways to engage employees on the #cop28 agenda. To help organisations at Giki, we are running the Employee Race to Zero We now have an amazing line up for the Race, a fun, collaborative few weeks of climate action with teams from organisations 👍representing over 600,000 employees, and 👍10 different sectors 👍companies which feed us, house us, transport us, look after our savings, entertain us, provide technology, protect our heritage and inspire us with world-class sport. This is a great representation of 21st century society. Here’s what some of the teams on the start line are saying: Carolyn Ball 🌍🍴💚 Ball, Director for Delivery of Net Zero at Compass UK&I, summarises why Compass UK&I is joining the race: “Everyone’s choices matter, and it’s in this spirit that we want to come together as a community - not just as a corporate. Working with Giki and through the Employee Race to Zero gives us the opportunity to do this in an inclusive and measurable way, demystifying climate action so everyone feels empowered to act.” A number of financial institutions are also taking part, including NatWest Group, which has recognised the importance of its employees in the net zero transition, as explained by Alberto P., Assistant Director at NatWest Group, Global Co-Chair of Sustainable Futures Network “Empowering colleagues to embed sustainability in all parts of their lives is a key factor in creating the business culture we need to become a leading bank on climate.” The starter's gun fires next week! : https://lnkd.in/d6ygArHd #racetozero #cop28 #ThinkCarbon
