Today, many companies are aiming to achieve net zero emissions.
In this context, ‘net zero’ means that the amount of greenhouse gas emissions your company produces is equal to or less than the emissions it offsets or removes.
If you reach this goal, your company is effectively adding nothing to the total of damaging emissions released into the Earth’s atmosphere.
Climate change is the defining issue of our time. Its impacts, such as shifting weather patterns, threaten food production and livelihoods and increase the risk of sea levels rising and flooding.
The Paris Agreement in 2015 saw 195 of the world’s governments commit to prevent dangerous climate change by limiting global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius.
Scotland’s world-leading climate change legislation sets a target date for net zero emissions of all greenhouse gases by 2045.
Without real efforts from governments, citizens and businesses, climate change will likely exceed 2°C. This will have a catastrophic impact on people and ecosystems everywhere.
Governments, regions, citizens, organisations and businesses around the world understand the important role each one plays in reducing emissions, with many signing up to a net zero goal.
Net zero is used as a target for companies to show that activities within their value chain result in no net impact on the climate from greenhouse gases. This can include the removal of any remaining greenhouse gas emissions with carbon offsetting.
Companies across Scotland are working to reduce carbon emissions and, in many cases, become net zero operations.
There are many business benefits to developing a low carbon strategy. By reducing the carbon footprint of your business, you can:
Science-based targets offer a set of clear goals developed by your business. These targets can provide your business with a clear route to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
