Only 12% of respondents in ENGIE Impact’s Net Zero Report believe they are on track to meet or exceed their ambitious decarbonization goals. This shocking statistic is a sobering call to action, especially given the recent Synthesis Report by the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change highlighting the deep, rapid and sustained greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions across all sectors – slashed almost in half by 2030 – necessary to mitigate the worst effects of climate change.
ENGIE Impact’s Net Zero report also shows that 75% of those surveyed say they have achieved most of the ‘quick wins’ in their decarbonization plan and are now focusing on the harder to address challenges. So how can retailers, who along with their complex supply chains are responsible for 25% of global GHG emissions, achieve their ambitious decarbonization goals?
