Climate change: More companies setting ‘net-zero’ climate targets, but few have credible plans -- report

Mon, 2023-06-12 10:24 — mike kraft

More companies setting 'net-zero' climate targets, but few have credible plans, report says A growing number of companies are pledging to cut their greenhouse gas emissions to “net zero” to curb climate change, but a report says the goal is rarely supported by a credible plan. According to the report published Monday, the number of publicly listed corporations aiming for net zero increased from 417 to 929 since late 2020. Researchers say they found that less than 5% of the companies they examined met basic credibility criteria. They say companies often fail to include the emissions caused by their products in their emission tallies.
