Our Financial Times #netzero series

To tackle climate change every business needs a net zero plan. Our advert series highlights the role of the board in making this happen.

Every board has a vital role to play in making sure that their business has a plan for the pathway towards the Government’s net zero target. We’re running a series of full page adverts in the Financial Times to put the spotlight on the power that boards can have to get UK business as close to net zero emissions as possible.

The advert spaces have been donated by the Financial Times as part of a New Agenda Partnership, following the launch of their Climate Capital Hub.

Our #netzero series

The main message is:

To tackle climate change every business needs a net zero plan. Boards have a vital role to play in making that happen. At Chapter Zero we enable our community of non-executive directors to take this essential climate discussion into the boardroom.

Join us

Throughout 2021 we’re working with some of the UK’s most recognisable businesses across a range of sectors. Using this series of adverts we’ll highlight the breadth of companies who have a net zero plan and showcase their commitment to achieving them.

At Chapter Zero we’re committed to helping our non-executive director members discuss the risks and opportunities of climate change in the boardroom and further net zero plans with their businesses. If you want to become a member you can sign up here.

Have you seen them?

Watch out for the adverts in print editions of the Financial Times between now and the critically important COP26 climate negotiations in Glasgow in November. So far we have featured Legal & General Group, Tesco, Delphis Eco, SSE, Severn Trent, Unilever, Barratt Developments and HSBC. You can see the adverts below:

We are already seeing the effects of climate-related uninsurable risks (or very high premiums associated with heightened risks), so the necessity for new products from the insurance market and for companies to reach net zero is high, says Chapter Zero Fellow, David Carlin.
