The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated in 2018 that the world needs to reach Net Zero by around 2050 if it is to meet the Paris Agreement target of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. To better protect the environment, governments around the world have proposed their own Net Zero targets. For example, in 2021, the UK government published a policy paper on the Net Zero Strategy, which outlines the policies and proposals for decarbonizing all sectors of the UK economy to meet the Net Zero target by 2050.

As a responsible organization operating in the UK, we are aligned with this national target and are actively working towards it, supporting customers across many industries on their journeys to Net Zero. Along the way, we, like our customers, have had to learn a new Net Zero language which has however helped us contextualize how we ‘fit in’ on our customers’ journeys.
