The heat is on: How business can turn climate risk into opportunity

10:00 - 11:00
The United States has committed to tackling the climate crisis, pledging to reduce emissions by 50 to 52 percent below 2005 levels by 2030 and to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. As a result, the policy and legislative landscape is evolving and pressures are mounting for serious corporate climate action. The business risks of delayed action in this new climate era are clear, but what are the opportunities? In this session we’ll hear from leading companies on how they have turned climate policy pressures into opportunity and successfully engaged their boards on climate action.

Session objectives:
  • Practical examples of how businesses have translated climate pressures into opportunities
  •  A set of principles for engaging your board to pivot investments and commitments to net-zero initiatives
