Many industry climate targets were set in 2019 in a very different operating landscape to today. Companies have since faced global disruption, shifting political winds, and updated scientific guidance. The result is a widening gap between what organizations expected to achieve and where emissions actually stand with growing production volumes. Industry emissions rose 7.5 percent from 2022 to 2023 alone (Aii), underscoring how far the sector still has to go.
With climate impacts already disrupting manufacturing hubs and 2030 approaching fast, the question for 2026 is clear: what does ambitious yet achievable net-zero look like now?
One reality remains unchanged. No company can reach net-zero alone. Progress requires shared investment, aligned expectations, and pathways that can withstand economic and environmental volatility without losing ambition.
Our multi-stakeholder panel will discuss:
- How companies can decouple emissions from growth through ambitious, benchmarked targets
- The stakeholders essential for designing climate pathways and long-term delivery – and what meaningful engagement really looks like
- Practical examples of supply chain mapping to identify emissions hotspots
- The financial tools and available solutions to drive impact at scale
