Why now?
Climate risk is
Business risk
Industry leaders recognize the urgency and are making carbon neutrality a strategic priority
Consumer behaviour change
Consumers demand transparency and credible measures - "Greenwashing" is increasingly being punished by the media. At the same time, the sales volume of low-emission products is increasing and leading to product adjustments in the broader market.
Pressure from retailers
Regulatory and investor pressure.
