Chapter Zero is here to equip and inspire non-executive directors to lead on climate from the boardroom.
Welcome to the Directors' Climate Forum. We work with NEDs and chairs to embed climate into business strategy.
Join a lively, influential and supportive community of your peers for the knowledge and confidence to embed climate targets and transition plans into strategy.
The Chapter Zero Transition Planning Toolkit
The Chapter Zero Transition Planning Toolkit is designed to support NEDs and their boards in overseeing the development and delivery of a credible transition plan, by anchoring climate strategy within the discussion of business strategy.
The Toolkit is aligned with the Transition Plan Taskforce Disclosure Framework and Implementation Guidance, and is made up of four elements, a Briefing, Scorecard, Governance Compass, and Barriers and Enablers.
