What climate leadership looks like
Ambition
Climate ambition is a commitment to shape the future. It represents a positive vision including business outcomes, better jobs and greater environmental protection. Ambition guides strategy, motivates employees, informs investors and customers.
Action
After setting out bold ambition, business needs to deliver on it. This is a process of innovation and change that, done right, can unlock business transformation and opportunities. It can deliver new competitive advantage that will grow as the economy decarbonizes.
Advocacy
To accelerate the transition, governments need to deliver clear, consistent and bold policy frameworks. For this to happen, corporate climate leaders must step into the arena of public discussion and political debate, and – together with like-minded allies – clearly and confidently make the case for policy ambition.
Accountability
To build trust and demonstrate progress to key stakeholders, companies need to clearly and consistently report and disclose climate-related information. This process can help uncover risks and opportunities, to better inform strategy and drive further progress.
