Net Zero Carbon

The future of our planet was listed by Stephen Hawkins as one of the three big issues of our time and society and governments are slowly moving towards stabilising carbon levels. Promises made by countries and companies achieving net zero are now being enshrined in law and there is finally a palpable desire in parts of the world to accelerate that journey.

Consequently, there has been a growing trend of investors and financial institutions incorporating net-zero-carbon goals into their investment strategies. Some investors are looking to invest in companies that have set declared net-zero-carbon targets, while others are divesting away from fossil fuel companies that are not taking sufficient action to address climate change.

Legislation is fuelling the burgeoning group of businesses which help companies and organisations to meet their obligations and a very strong desire by the investment community and consulting firms to invest into the sector.
