In Episode 4 of the ESG Central Podcast, we uncover the real difference between Net Zero and Carbon Neutral — two terms widely used by companies, but rarely understood correctly.

Sathish breaks down what Net Zero actually means, how it differs from Carbon Neutral, and why many corporate climate commitments fall into the grey area of greenwashing. You’ll learn how companies offset emissions, reduce operational carbon footprint, and whether their sustainability strategies are truly aligned with global climate goals.

This episode also explores real-world examples of corporate climate claims, how investors interpret Net Zero targets, and what businesses must do to achieve genuine climate action rather than relying on carbon offsets alone.

If you want to understand corporate sustainability, ESG reporting, carbon reduction strategies, and climate accountability in a simple yet powerful way, this episode is a must-listen.
