Rapid Decarbonisation of business is mission critical
Our Rapid Decarbonisation Consortium is a peer-to-peer
group that can help big businesses meet their sustainability ambitions.
Climate change is no longer a future threat. The
science shows us that we have just ten years to act if we’re to prevent
catastrophic and irreversible damage to our planet and our lives. Beyond the
bottom line, investor demands and consumer pressure, this is the private
sector’s opportunity to lead the charge against our generation’s biggest
crisis. There is no planet B.
Uncharted territory
The Rapid Decarbonisation Consortium is designed to
help blue-chip peers learn and share best practice as they navigate the path
to sustainable business models and operations together.
Mitigating the risks of a wholesale change in the way businesses
operate and meet their energy demands requires new thinking, and this
Consortium brings together businesses with sustainability experts from
academia, government and business to advise and support members as they
progress on their sustainability journey.
How does the Consortium work?
Four one-day meetings per year, with a dinner prior
plus one facilitated site visit. The Consortium will address three core
themes:
·
Developing a best practice sustainability
roadmap for your company
·
Promoting a culture of change in your company
·
Benchmarking your progress
Members decide on meeting topics, to ensure that you
all get what you need from the group, with international expert witnesses,
academic researchers and policy-makers invited to provide insight and
expertise into chosen topics. Meetings are held under the Chatham House
Rule, ensuring a confidential and trusting environment away from the
conflicting interests of consultants & sales-people. Between meetings,
Consortium members often collaborate on side projects & initiatives.
Who’s it for?
Sustainability leaders in large organisations.
Organisations from any sector are welcomed: the need to transition to a
sustainable, low carbon business cuts across industries.
Why should I join??
You’ll get the opportunity to create, review and evolve
your organisation’s sustainability roadmap with the support of peers and
technical experts. You’ll be able to benchmark performance against similar
organisations and take advantage of collaborative project opportunities.
You’ll leave with a sustainability plan that is tailored to the needs of
your organisation and has been reviewed and approved by peers and experts.
The Rapid Decarbonisation Consortium is based on the
proven operating model developed by the The Centre for Business Innovation,
and is backed up by the knowledge and resources of Clean Growth UK, an
initiative of three of the UK’s leading applied research universities.
Participating in the Rapid Decarbonisation Consortium will support the
innovation, planning and execution of new solutions in your company, and
introduce you to potential future collaborators.
