NET ZERO

What does a Net Zero future look like from a regulator’s perspective? How is regulation transforming corporate business models? And how are companies responding? In this final episode of our series on navigating climate claims, we speak with Mardi McBrien, Director of Strategic Affairs at the IFRS Foundation, and explore the ins and outs of climate disclosure standards and the corporate world’s response.

From the newsroom, to the boardroom, to the policy office, everyone is talking about greenwashing and regulation as a potential solution. In the lead-up to COP27, we met with Gilles Dufrasne from Carbon Market Watch to discuss this very hot topic. To what extent can regulation be the solution to greenwashing? Where should we draw the line between what is voluntary and what is not?

In this episode we speak with Alberto Carrillo on the basic principles behind Net Zero and setting credible strategies. With many critics calling companies out on “fake zero” strategies, we deep dive on the issues that have led to misleading Net Zero claims and look to better understand what differentiates “good” Net Zero commitments from “bad ones”.

Understanding the defining factors of net zero, carbon neutral and other climate claims is complex, and perhaps the reason for the growing issue of greenwashing. To inaugurate this podcast, we thought drilling down into these concepts to better undertsand what they mean would be a good place to start.

It’s fair to say that the difference between Net Zero becoming an empty buzzword vs a real driver for emission reductions lies in the solutions we find to get there. In this trailer episode we want to give you a sneak peak into the WHY of this podcast, HOW to NET ZERO and what you can expect.
