Vicky Moffat celebrated as a climate leader: included in The Independent Climate 100 list
This is a great honour for Vicky personally and for the entire team at Chapter Zero. It is also recognition of the efforts being made by the board community of Chapter Zero members who are embedding action on climate in their long-term business strategies. We see this as an acknowledgement of all that combined determination and achievement.
Vicky commented: “This is an acknowledgement of combined determination and achievement by so many. I am proud that Chapter Zero has very high levels of trust. This trust creates goodwill that is the basis for the systems thinking and collaboration that is needed.
“It is exciting to be in the room with the combined impact of our directors, who bring depth of experience, strategic brilliance and the long-term outlook to build economic resilience and redefine wider society.
“The Chapter Zero journey is a path with a heart; it is joyful and makes us stronger. We welcome registrations from directors, Chairs and senior business leaders. We are philanthropically funded and membership is complimentary.”
Vicky joined Chapter Zero as its first CEO in 2022, after two decades in marketing communications and strategy consulting for private equity firms, NGOs and global multinationals in the US and UK.
Under her leadership, Chapter Zero has grown to 3,600 members representing over 70% of FTSE 350 businesses. Members, who are directors and Chairs, convene for roundtables, webinars and conferences to discuss risk and innovation, drawing on thought leadership and case examples of the transition to the low-emissions economy.
Chapter Zero, the UK chapter, is a flagship and innovation hub for Chapter Zero Alliance, the global network which has grown to 34 Chapters across more than 70 countries in four years. Its purpose is to equip and inspire non-executive directors to lead on climate from the boardroom.

AI, Data Centres and COP31: the conversation boards need to have
Energy and transport, cutting waste and methane, climate-resilient cities – amongst other topics – are all COP31 themes. Each can be both helped or hindered by the rapid development of AI and the associated growth of data centres. The upcoming global conversation should make this connection, as should boards, as they seek to balance technology adoption and competitiveness with climate considerations in a ‘turbulent’ age of AI. The authors discuss this issue ahead of COP31 and address the need for boards' understanding of the impact of AI on the environment at global, national and local levels.
