Description: The 1.5°C Business Playbook provides a framework for all companies to reach net-zero emissions rapidly through the adoption of an exponential trajectory.
The 1.5°C Business Playbook is supported and used by some of the most influential and innovative companies in the world with a combined yearly revenue of 1 trillion dollars.
Pillar 1 focuses on a company’s activities to reduce its own emissions, aligned with a 1.5°C pathway. To align with the 1.5°C ambition, the minimum requirement is to halve your own emissions (scope 1 & 2) at least every decade. For many companies, a 90% reduction of scope 1 & 2 emisisons can be acheived by 2030.
Pillar 2 focuses on a company’s activities to reduce its value chain emissions, following the same trajectory. These include all emissions “outside the company walls”, which often represent the largest share of a company’s total footprint and must therefore be addressed. Value chain emissions (scope 3) include emissions from upstream and downstream activities.
