“We have a unique opportunity to combine the policy measures to increase growth, job creation and accelerate the green transition,” says Torben Moger Pederson, CEO of PensionDanmark.
“We can’t afford not to take bold climate action. It’s needed and it’s needed now. If the current crisis is like a bad dream, the nightmare of the climate crisis will prove far worse for humanity,” Signify CEO Eric Rondolat said.
“Working with our colleagues and customers, we’ve been able to reduce our carbon intensity and we are now partnering with suppliers to reduce their emissions and spur eco-innovation, helping us to become a net-zero emissions business by 2045,” says BT Chairman Jan du Plessis.
“Our next target is to have zero emissions from operations and transport by 2030. Our ultimate goal is to have zero environmental impact, and with that in mind our vision is to help the world recover from COVID-19,” Novo Nordisk CEO Lars Fruergaard Jørgensen said.
The need to tackle the climate emergency has not waned and as we seek to revive our global economy, power is going to play a pivotal role; that power has to be lower carbon and more sustainable, said Rolls-Royce CEO Warren East.
As we look to recover from the coronavirus, we must redouble our efforts in the energy transition, Francesco Starace, CEO and General Manager of Enel, said.
The COVID-19 pandemic is a global emergency, bringing devastation to millions around the world, impacting lives and jobs, and grinding much of the global economy to a halt. It calls on all of us to come together with compassion and humility, and to act radically and decisively to protect what’s most important.
