Corporate Net Zero Target Setting and Science Based Targets

Customers, investors and regulators are pressing African companies to commit to credible net zero goals rather than vague aspirations. This programme guides delegates through setting science based emission reduction targets and building a defensible net zero strategy. The focus is on targets that are ambitious, evidence based and achievable in a local operating context.
