Course Overview

Achieving Net Zero: A Practical Guide for Business

Why it is essential your organisation embraces Net Zero, and how to develop/implement a successful Net Zero strategy

An estimated 90% of the global economy is now under some form of Net Zero target, so you cannot ignore the subject. In this course, top Sustainability Consultant Gareth Kane will cover everything you need to know to develop and implement a winning Net Zero Strategy in your organisation.

The course covers the following topics:

  • What Net Zero actually means, including a brief overview of a carbon footprint and an exploration of how much of net zero should be delivered by carbon reductions and how much by offsetting

  • Explore the business case for Net Zero for your organisation (and why your strategy must be built on this business case to succeed)

  • Setting Net Zero targets appropriate for your organisation

  • Developing a successful Net Zero strategy using the backcasting technique

  • How to implement that strategy

  • Engaging hearts and minds using Gareth's Green Jujitsu technique

  • The thorny topic of offsetting - morality, greenwash and practicalities

  • A more in depth case study of the UK's National Health Service (NHS)

The course includes lots of practical exercises where you get to apply the learning to your organisation (or an organisation of your choice). At the end of the course you will develop a good-to-go action plan to implement your main takeaways.

    What seems to be under explored is a set of new words that we (internationally) can lean ourselves up against. Ie words we all know the meaning of and therefore the direction we need to take. Gareth you disclose those. Thank you. Heidi Fog
