Again we are looking to the UK to lead on climate – especially as the leading green global financial centre. Chapter Zero will once more be on a global stage from a UK base, inspiring, and equipping our communities for boardroom strategic oversight and governance, so that climate is embedded in core business strategy delivering long-term resilience for shareholders and for wider society.- Vicky Moffatt, Chapter Zero CEO
Chapter Zero celebrates London Climate Action Week 2025 Flagship Event
Throughout the week, Chapter Zero hosted events, tailored specifically for non-executive directors. Our flagship event was a market close at the London Stock Exchange on the Tuesday, with grateful thanks to our host Don Robert, Chairman of the Board of the London Stock Exchange Group. Don spoke eloquently on the importance of climate action for financial markets and handed over to our Founding Chair, Julie Baddeley, who spoke about the work of Chapter Zero and the continued need for climate and nature to stay top of the boardroom agenda to ensure future-fit, resilient organisations. This was followed by a vibrant discussion with Chapter Zero's CEO, Vicky Moffatt, and Martin Scicluna, Chair of Sainsbury's, on how climate action can fuel innovation and business model transformation.
