Companies are increasingly setting net zero targets.

As part of global efforts to combat climate change, companies are increasingly making commitments to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Targets to reach net zero or carbon neutrality are a subset of these. Investors and other stakeholders want to understand these commitments, and companies’ abilities to deliver against targets.

This FRC Lab report provides practical tips to help communicate what it means for the future.

In addition to the full report and example bank, a summary of the key findings is also available.
