As regulations and investor demands evolve, companies are increasingly focusing on Scope 3 emissions—often the largest and most complex part of their carbon footprint.

Addressing these indirect emissions is crucial for any business serious about decarbonization.

While extensive, strategically applied #TPT reporting unlocks internal & external value - spotlighting carbon savings opportunities, boosting customer and investor confidence and strengthening climate resilience. With major economies projected to mandate disclosures soon, timely collaboration for #sustainability is key.

The data in the latest MSCI Sustainability Institute Net-Zero Tracker reveal a critical misalignment between corporate actions and climate goals, highlighting a troubling trend towards unsustainable carbon emissions. Despite the urgency conveyed by frameworks like the Net Zero Investment Framework and the Science Based Targets initiative, the majority of listed companies remain far from achieving the necessary decarbonisation targets. This misalignment is symptomatic of a broader systemic inertia where financial structures, regulatory frameworks, and corporate strategies have yet to fully internalise the existential threat posed by climate change. The concentration of emissions within certain high-impact sectors indicates a stark need for targeted policies and investments that go beyond superficial pledges. The complex web of economic incentives, power dynamics, and cultural norms that perpetuate this status quo requires a nuanced understanding and a holistic approach to drive meaningful change. As we edge closer to the depletion of the carbon budget, the window for corrective action narrows, demanding a concerted effort from all stakeholders to recalibrate their strategies in line with a sustainable future. #NetZero #ClimateAction #Sustainability #Decarbonisation #CorporateResponsibility #ClimateChange #ESG #SustainableFinance #EnvironmentalImpact #ClimateGoals #CarbonBudget #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming #GreenInvestment

There's been a lot of talk about climate regulations this week. And of course, they're important. But, at the end of the day, they're only half the story for sustainability. Hear our CEO Saleh ElHattab's explain how sustainability is a two-sided coin: with emissions on one-side and energy and cost on the other. And how companies that focus on reducing energy use will be better aligned with classic business priorities and better prepared for regulatory changes. Thanks again to Nasdaq and Jill Malandrino for hosting.

Corporate sustainability reporting has too often been removed from its rightful twin: energy and cost management. At Gravity, we put the pieces together.

For a climate strategy to be effective, it must be integrated into the company's overall strategy and take into account the financial impacts.
