Exceeding our net zero ambitions

Carbon neutrality. Climate positive. Net zero. There are plenty of buzzwords being used by business leaders across the world to describe the different responses to climate change. But what do they all mean? And is the target of net zero really enough to tackle a potentially catastrophic environmental crisis?

Listen to Capgemini’s Florent Andrillon, Kara Pecknold (frog), and Kiri Trier (Capgemini Invent Germany), along with special guest Allison ​Dring, Chief Executive Officer and ​Co-Founder of Made of Air. They’re joining show host Liz Lugnier for the first of a two-part Future Sight episode investigating the race to net zero — and beyond.

They argue that the individual response of each one of us to climate change, from recycling to eating less meat and finding alternative ways to get into work are small changes that, when added together, will bring about lasting change. But they’re not enough on their own. Industries too must work together to find better approaches, rather than just iterating change internally.

Tune in to our podcast to hear how our experts are bringing new thinking to this global challenge with sustainable business models, planet-centric customer and employee experiences, and regenerative ventures where a company’s whole purpose is to reverse climate change.
