Carbon Target – Set It Like You Mean It workshop Wellington
Thursday 19, September 2019
Carbon targets are no longer a nice to have. They are a license to operate! Carbon targets increase resilience and deliver tangible business value: 79% of companies setting targets report it has boosted their brand reputation, 63% say it’s driven innovation and 52% state investor confidence has been boosted.
WWF-New Zealand { https://www.wwf.org.nz/} and thinkstep ANZ {www.thinkstep-anz.com} invite you to a hands-on workshop which will explore through local case studies, a panel discussion and an interactive session the following topics:
- Business drivers and investor requirements around carbon targets
- Practical approaches to setting an ambitious target
- Scope 3 challenges and opportunities
- Absolute versus intensity based targets
- Approaches that are available for setting a science-based target
- Alternatives to setting a formally approved science-based target
Participants will have the opportunity to share their experience and learn directly from technical and industry experts. Through a practical exercise, companies will identify barriers to setting meaningful carbon reduction targets, the adoption of a science-based target, as well as levers and tactics to overcome these barriers.
