Moving to Net Zero with Jayant Sinha
As global temperatures rise inexorably, governments and companies are coming around to the concept of net-zero. Simply put, net zero means cutting emissions to a bare minimum and then absorbing and/or durably storing the residual emissions, leaving ‘zero’ in the atmosphere. What, though, does making such a commitment mean in practical terms – from either a national or a corporate perspective? What can businesses do to move in this direction, and how can they benefit from doing so?
At a recent joint session of the India CEO and CFO Forums in Delhi, Jayant Sinha, a two-term Member of Parliament, and Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Finance, provided insights from both a policy and business standpoint on this issue. He also discussed how the net zero development model may unfold across various sectors, and the steps that leading businesses can take in this sphere. This podcast summarises these discussions.
