Has your company adopted a climate transition plan yet?   🌏 The upcoming Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (#CSDDD) mandates companies to have a climate transition plan in place. In other words, companies must mitigate their greenhouse gas emissions. Few companies have such plans, and even fewer have one that meets the requirements.   CSDDD complements the #CSRD by requiring large companies to conduct due diligence and mitigate adverse environmental and human rights impacts. In addition, CSDDD requires companies to adopt and deploy a plan for climate change mitigation that aligns with UN’s 1.5°C mitigation pathway and EU’s net zero target.   In this how-to guide, Nordic Sustainability climate experts Ole and Matteo unpack the requirements for climate transition plans under the CSDDD and provide insights into how businesses can accelerate the adoption of a climate transition plan.   Discover our key strategies to develop and deploy a credible climate transition plan ➡ https://lnkd.in/dr_S24cP
