As we build up to COP26, public attention on businesses to prioritise the 'E' in ESG is intensifying - how are organisations responding and what are the available pathways for acting and making climate commitments.

Public opinion has accelerated, and organisations everywhere are being scrutinised for their actions and contribution to the global effort.

In this episode, we discuss with Johnathan Shopley, Founder and Managing Director, External Affairs of Natural Capital Partners why and how Net Zero is playing a crucial role in corporate action and commitments on climate change, globally.

Before the pandemic pushed all other news local, national and international off the media agenda - climate change was right up there.

Listed as one of the most important issues to CEOs in 2020 (RepTrack), climate change and more broadly sustainability has become a cornerstone of reputation for companies and governments around the world.
But as the pandemic eases, will sustainability be back on the board agenda, and if so what impact will Covid-19 have had in addressing it?
