BCCJ Responsible Business Forum - Planet

2020 was always billed as a critical year for climate action and carbon neutrality, with over 100 countries now committed to net-zero carbon footprints. We have also seen a reaction from big business – Microsoft and Amazon stating bold new carbon-reduction goals aiming for zero and beyond, for example. But what does “carbon neutral” really mean for different types of businesses, and how do we go about getting there?
