Luke Stackpoole With Net Zero Week underway, David Lloyd, General Manager of Connected Energy Performance at Johnson Controls, says businesses must embrace greater ambition for the UK to meet its decarbonisation targets.
Net Zero Week serves as a reminder that with 2030 on the horizon as time is ticking to cut carbon emissions by 45 per cent.
To reach ambitious targets we need equally ambitious strategies for action. It’s about reimagining what is possible. And in a world where 40 per cent of global emissions originate from the built environment, we need a buildings revolution that capitalises on the best people, processes and tech available.
Climate action is now not only vital for our future on the planet, but is fast becoming a ‘must have’ rather than ‘nice to have’ for strategic success. Sure enough, we are now seeing businesses take note as they set ambitious public targets for decarbonisation. But where pledges are made, they must be supported by clear strategies for action.
By working together with industry partners and implementing the correct technology, businesses can find the most cost-effective and climate-friendly solutions to suit their needs.
With the right people, processes, and technology in place, leaders can deliver net-zero strategies with longevity for generations to come.
