Germany's NewClimate Institute has produced the Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor, evaluating the transparency and integrity of climate pledges of 51 major companies across different sectors and geographies. 

Richard Howitt welcomes Frederic Hans and Thomas Day, co-authors of the report to discuss their findings and key recommendations to companies in their journey to net-zero.

In this episode, you’ll find more about:

  • Good business practices and what makes a business leader in climate action efforts
    • Checklist of things to avoid if companies want to try and do this better
      • If the ESRS and ISSB Standards are improving things and if companies can feel confident in following them?
        • The need for science-based targets and what SBTi should do next 
          • What is green hushing and to what extent it can be dangerous
