Flere virksomheder globalt sætter netto nul-emissionsmål, men færre end hver tiende er på vej til at nå deres mål, konkluderer en ny rapport udgivet af konsulenthuset Accenture.
I rapporten undersøges klimamålene for de 2000 største børsnoterede og unoterede virksomheder i verden.
Rapporten finder, at 93 procent af virksomheder med netto nul mål ikke når deres mål, medmindre de skifter kurs.
Dog finder rapporten også, at momentum for klimaindsatsen er stigende: “On the positive side, this seems to have focused minds. The proportion of companies planning to increase investments in sustainability has risen; total renewable energy spending grew by 11% year-on-year in the first half of 2022 alone.”
Rapportens væsentligste fund er:
- More than a third of the world’s largest companies now have a net zero target in place–up 7 percentage points since December 2021.
- The companies with net zero targets cut emissions more than those without. Those with more sophisticated targets and measures in place are cutting emissions even faster.
- Investment expectations, commitments and spending around sustainability are all up on last year.
- However, on current trends, only 8% of companies will reach net zero by 2050. Even in an accelerated scenario, almost one quarter would not get there. Much more needs to be done.
