We are delighted to be supporting the Taskforce on Scaling Voluntary Carbon initiative, whose goal is to scale a transparent, verifiable and robust voluntary carbon market to help meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. This initiative aligns well with our carbon offset ambitions and our mission of a low carbon future.
For more information about the Taskforce on Scaling Voluntary Carbon Markets, please check their website.
Our colleague Natalia Beales, Global Head of Carbon at SCB is on the Task Force’s Consultative Group and comments:
Chapter Zero, the Director’s Climate Forum, is building a community of non-executive directors and equipping them to lead crucial UK boardroom discussions on the impacts of climate change. Its 1,400+ members are helping ensure their companies are fit for the future and that global net zero ambitions are transformed into robust plans and measurable action.
Established by a group of non-executives in 2019, Chapter Zero offers its members tailored events, toolkits, relevant information and a peer network to draw on for experience, inspiration and ideas. Visit www.chapterzero.org.uk for more information.
Within Chapter Zero’s 1,000 members is our Sustainability Director and Non-Executive Director to the Board, Carlota-Garcia Manas, representing SCB. Carlota states:
“Chapter Zero is the network that NEDs and Boards can rely on to initiate or enhance their journey towards climate awareness and resilience”
