Our Financial Times #PlansBeyondPledges series
No matter how hard it might seem, now is the time for business leaders to transform net zero ambitions into robust plans and measurable action. We’re running our #PlansBeyondPledges campaign alongside a series of adverts in the Financial Times to put the spotlight on the need for boards and businesses to set, challenge and progress their net zero targets and transition plans.

This #PlansBeyondPledges series runs until early December, over the annual global climate change conference COP27.
We’re working with partners to explore different topics you need to consider and giving you places to start and tools to try as our members, their boards and businesses tackle this complex transition.

Oliver Wyman Masterclass #2: Putting it into practice
In collaboration with the Oliver Wyman Forum and as part of our wider series on transition planning, Chapter Zero members came together for the second of three interactive, practical transition planning masterclasses. These are in-depth learning experiences where attendees learn from both experts and peers. Building from the first masterclass on transition planning foundations and the role of the NED, the second masterclass explored how NEDs can lead through uncertainty, effectively review and challenge transition plans and take into account legal considerations associated with transition planning. This document provides a summary of the rich learnings and key takeaways from the session.
Oliver Wyman Masterclass #1: Transition Planning and your role
In collaboration with the Oliver Wyman Forum, as part of our wider Transition Planning series, Chapter Zero recently launched the first of three interactive, practical transition planning masterclasses. Building from our Getting Started series, these in-depth masterclasses explore transition planning concepts in greater detail. The first masterclass explored the basics and best practices for transition planning, as well as the evolving role of non-executive directors (NEDs) in this space. You can find the key takeaways from the first session below.
Transition Planning = Strategy Planning
The past twelve months have highlighted how companies are not only increasingly experiencing the impacts of climate change but also how they are powerfully positioned to be agents of change, with the ability to curb these impacts and promote long-term sustainability and resilience for the global economy and for society. The need to decarbonise and to achieve net zero commitments is being driven by a range of economic, regulatory and market factors, all of which require companies to respond faster than ever before.
