Webinar overview:

Growing numbers of investors and regulators are calling on businesses to develop meaningful climate transition plans, but how can such plans be harnessed to deliver real business value and ensure efforts to deliver on net zero targets accelerate?

This interactive webinar will explore current regulations and guidance surrounding transition plans, changing political and economic drivers, and the interplay between the energy and climate transition. Our expert panel will ask how companies can ensure transition plans become more than box-ticking exercise and genuinely help unlock a range of opportunities.

Topics covered will include:

Why are regulators and investors calling on corporates to deliver climate transition plans?
What do effective transition plans entail?
What are the common challenges in developing an effective climate transition plan and how can they be overcome?
How can an organisation ensure transition plans are actually enacted?
How can climate and energy transition plans help deliver competitive edge
How to build the business case for an ambitious transition strategy?
