Net zero: Next moves for CEOs
How leaders can invest in a sustainable future and navigate near-term energy pressures successfully. Net zero doesn’t have to mean zero sum.
Dualidade diabólica: como os CEOs podem conciliar a resiliência com as promessas de emissões líquidas zero
Em meio à turbulência no caminho em direção às emissões líquidas zero, os líderes terão de ser muito mais ágeis para equilibrar a resiliência e um futuro energético seguro, limpo e economicamente acessível. Há cinco medidas que podem ajudar nisso. Que diferença um ano faz.
How CEOs can square resilience with net-zero promises
What a difference a year makes. In November 2021, business leaders showed up in force in Glasgow at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26), pledging to take on the challenge of reaching net-zero greenhouse-gas-emission goals by 2050. While no one believed that the path to net zero would suddenly become easy, commitments made to target nearly 90 percent of CO 2 emissions for reduction signaled that the private sector was truly engaged.

Capturing the green-premium value from sustainable materials
Materials value chains—including metals and mining, building materials, plastics, and packaging—account for around 20 percent of global greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions. Some of these value chains are also often wasteful: 98 percent of construction materials end up in low-value end-of-life applications, and only 17 percent of annual virgin plastics are recycled.
Four front-foot strategies to help create value in the net-zero transition
September 2, 2022 | Podcast Companies can identify green growth opportunities and move boldly to take advantage of them. Companies have a critical role to play in achieving the global aspiration of net-zero emissions—one that comes with vast business opportunities.
Decarbonizing the built environment: Takeaways from COP26
The built environment—that is, the cement and construction value chain—accounts for approximately 25 percent of global CO2 emissions. Reaching net zero by 2050 1 will require the buildings and construction industry to decarbonize three times faster over the next 30 years versus the previous 30. Companies from across the ecosystem have committed to decarbonization, but no one player can achieve this goal alone.
Glasgow COP26 2021: Decarbonizing the built environment
The cement and construction value chain accounts for nearly a third of global CO2 emissions, including operational and embodied carbon. The construction value chain accounts for ~25% of global CO2 emissions. Players from across the ecosystem have committed to decarbonization—but how can the industry realize this ambitious goal?
Closing the gaps in the circular economy
The wheels of the circular economy have slowed over the past few years as the Covid-19 pandemic has led to an explosion in waste. People have turned to disposable face masks to protect themselves from the virus and plastic-packaged food deliveries as they get used to life in lockdown. In Singapore alone, the already low recycling rate reached a 10-year low last year as waste collection and processing were hit by movement restrictions.
Is space infinite? We asked 5 experts
We’ve known for some time now our universe is expanding, and in recent years discovered this was happening considerably faster than we’d expected. Yet despite momentous innovations in telescope and satellite technology, it’s thought much of what’s out there in the cosmos lies beyond our line of sight — beyond the “observable universe”, as it’s called.
Alternative financing in metals & mining
Alternative financing has grown significantly over the past decade and today represents more than $8 trillion in total assets under management. 1 Mining, however, remains underpenetrated, representing less than 1 percent of total global alternative financing. 2 Leading miners use the full range of financial levers to manage capital and returns through the cycle, including both traditional and alternative financing, within a sustainable leverage ratio.
Human exploitation and environmental harm: What is the connection?

This is common knowledge, but what is less known is how these minerals can represent a meeting point between environmental harm and human exploitation.
Protect yourself from activists targeting corporate governance issues
Even before the spread of the novel coronavirus, investors were calling on senior-management teams and corporate boards to focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns. Investors were, for example, prompting companies to consider questions of purpose and to pay more attention to the impact of their actions on the environment. Now the pendulum is swinging toward social issues raised by the spread of COVID-19—for instance, worker safety and rising unemployment.
Investors remind business leaders: Governance matters
Activists continue to poke holes in corporate performance and returns, but they are having their greatest success with governance structures. Here’s how to think about their moves. Even before the spread of the novel coronavirus, investors were calling on senior-management teams and corporate boards to focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns.
Through-cycle investment in mining
Mining is notoriously cyclical, with volatile equity prices and investment patterns as a result. As the COVID-19 crisis affects the medium-term pricing outlook in many commodities and puts pressure on planned investments, mining CFOs have a unique opportunity (and imperative) to review their capital-expansion strategies.
Why outer space matters in a post-pandemic world
With all of the immense challenges we face on Earth this year, space can feel like an afterthought. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the hope of a growing space industry was palpable. Ribbons were cut, buildings were dedicated and Australia’s space industry was going to triple in size in just ten years. But a few weeks into March, Europe and then Australia were slowly grinding to a halt as the reality of COVID-19 set in.
