Accenture+加速全球企业到2050年实现净零增长

Accelerating global companies toward net zero by 2050New research shows progress and key steps necessary to speed effortsSustainability commitments are getting stronger globallyAmid the economic, political and environmental disruption of 2022, more companies than ever before have publicly committed to reaching net zero carbon emissions by around 2050.But this heightened ambition isn’t yet matched by the necessary action..2Accelerating global companies toward net zero by 2050To date, only 34% of the Accenture Global 2000 companies (G2000)* have publicly stated net zero targets —a slight improvement on last year. However, unless they accelerate progress, 93% of companies with net zero commitments will miss their targets. To speed up efforts, companies should become carbon intelligent. This means integrating emissions data and insights into core business decision-making, allowing companies to prioritize, execute and scale decarbonization in this decade. These key Accenture research findings come at a critical moment—as 2023 marks the halfway point toward achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. It’s also the year in which global updates on national decarbonization progress towards targets under the Paris Agreement/United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change process will be published. Our findings are based on an expanded analysis of the Accenture G2000, building on last year’s Europe-based Reaching Net Zero by 2050 report.

For more information, see About the Research (p. 34). Accelerating global companies toward net zero by 20503Net zero targets are proliferating. 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 Ukraine war has galvanized action--not dampened ambition. Investment expectations, commitments and spending around sustainability are all up on last year.Setting targets works.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.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.Key findings from our global net zero research010302044Accelerating global companies toward net zero by 2050Executive summaryNet zero momentum is building. The UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow (COP26) held in November 2021 was a catalyst; now more than 90% of the global economy is covered by national net zero commitments.Regi
