Climate change and decarbonisation
Climate change is increasing pressure on businesses to decarbonise. This requires a multi-faceted approach that aligns actions across all aspects of a business.Common challenges in climate change and decarbonisation
High initial costs
Decarbonisation strategies, such as adopting renewable energy and upgrading to energy-efficient technologies, often require significant upfront investment.
Complex regulatory landscape
Navigating different regulations across regions is challenging, with varying standards for carbon reporting, emissions limits, and sustainability requirements.
Data collection and transparency
Accurately tracking and reporting emissions across global supply chains requires robust systems and transparency from suppliers, which is difficult to achieve.
Technology integration
Integrating new technologies such as carbon capture, AI-driven analytics, or IoT systems into existing operations without causing disruptions is a major hurdle.
Supply chain emissions
Reducing Scope 3 emissions (indirect emissions from supply chain) is complex due to dependence on suppliers, many of whom may not have decarbonisation goals.
Balancing short-term business goals with long-term sustainability
Companies often struggle to align immediate profitability goals with the long-term investments needed for decarbonisation, especially in competitive industries.
