Spotlight on Transition Planning
Transition Plans are the next step in the private sector climate journey.
Companies need to develop a plan for delivering on net zero targets and pledges.
High-quality transition plans enable management teams to develop, communicate and implement their climate strategies. A transition plan can:
- focus attention
- highlight key issues to be escalated to the board
- and instigate fundamental change in the business strategy.
The Chapter Zero Transition Planning Toolkit
Our Transition Planning Toolkit is designed to support you as a NED and your board in overseeing the development of a credible transition and delivery against that plan.
