Achieving #netzero & #carbonnegative isn’t a commitment - Here’s Why The notion of the Circular Economy can't be done in silos - As such, #SNF Global's core values lie in what we coined the term #cflows, an adaptation of the traditional #circularflow concept, #snfglobal is about generational automated workflows, built upon #cloudnative platforms. At SNF Global LLC, we aren’t just discussing but we are aligning our digital systems in place for capturing value through refurbishment, remanufacturing or properly recycling materials into new products that utilises #IoT to the end customer, globally.

“There’s a growing consensus that how a company gets to net zero is more important than how fast it does so. And a new school of thought is emerging that moves beyond the net-zero model of corporate climate action, arguing that companies should focus on achieving broader climate impacts rather than trying to balance out every ton of carbon dioxide they emit.” Shout out to James Temple and MIT Technology Review for this smart and insightful piece that conceptualizes the stark difference between corporate climate action that goes beyond net zero and hollow attempts to negate the past (AKA carbon offsets). Have a read to see how two tech giants, Amazon and Google, are addressing their carbon footprints and which approach makes better use of corporate climate dollars: https://lnkd.in/dWiR67Y4 For more on how businesses can maximize their impact, check out our 2023 white paper, How to Think Beyond Net Zero: https://lnkd.in/eRjWvAy2 Instead of offsetting the past, it’s time we focus on decarbonizing the future. #climate #climatesolutions #climateaction #corporateclimateaction #beyondnetzero #decarbonization

Amid the growing chorus for more sustainable business practices, intentions are now standing in the glare of scrutiny. Instead of assuming that conventional frameworks are optimal, we encourage businesses to explore the following question: given a set of available resources, how can a business maximize its climate impact? To highlight the exciting potential of this “beyond net zero” approach, we convened a panel of four forward-looking companies that have gone beyond their own value chain to maximize their climate impact. Take a look at these 4 case studies on how Microsoft, Stripe's Frontier, Google, and Mapbox developed higher-impact business climate strategies that go beyond their own carbon footprint. https://lnkd.in/eZY2xRkR

Microsoft’s latest Scope 3 bid is done out of necessity given AI power demands. That’s how all great climate initiatives will be done. As business imperatives. @sustainability Callaway Climate Insights

Digital and green transformation go hand in hand! Digital including AI is pivotal enabler of low carbon transition. We need more powerful data analytics to make informed business decision around sustainability. Digital solutions will help us use existing assets with less carbon footprint and develop new disruptive business models for #netzero future. As #eib is transsisioning to the #euclimatebank, we are also accelerating our digital transformation to deliver better and faster climate positive outcomes through our financing and advisory.

Google is committed to accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy. By 2030, Google aims to achieve net-zero emissions across their operations and value chain with AI playing an essential role in cutting carbon while driving efficiency. In support of the COP28’s presidency’s goal of an accelerated transition, their three areas of focus are improving access to climate data, building the climate tech ecosystem, and unlocking the potential of geospatial analytics for climate resilience.
