Appoint a member of the executive team to be responsible and accountable for their net zero target.
Publicly communicate climate commitments and progress to net zero in meaningful ways, including on their website, to their Board, and to customers.

Before joining Tech Zero, I wasn’t a climate activist at all. But as I’ve learnt more and more about this, I’m like, "Wow, how often are you in a position where you can basically set up a business for good?”
Jay Olenicz, CEO and Co-founder of Staze
As the whole economy shifts toward decarbonisation, every company will have to do it. It presents new opportunities, new markets, new customers, and I think those business opportunities far outweigh the risks.
