Climate change is now firmly a strategic priority for hundreds if not thousands of the world's biggest companies, but the precise pathway towards decarbonisation - and the role of business in delivering wider global goals - is still being mapped out.

At the recent Net Zero Festival 2023, BusinessGreen's editor in chief James Murray spoke to several leading voices on climate action and corporate sustainability, and the risks, priorities and opportunities ahead:

  • Musidora Jorgensen, chief sustainability officer at Microsoft UK
  • Chris Stark, CEO at the UK's Climate Change Committee (CCC)
  • Dana Haidan, chief sustainability officer at Virgin Media O2
  • Zak Watts, director of sustainability at Amazon

Their conversation can be watched back in full in the video below.

With thanks to Net Zero Festival 2023's headline sponsors Innovate UK and OVO.

While this year's event may have drawn to a close, the Net Zero Festival will be back in force again in 2024 - so sign up below to stay in the loop on the plans for next year's event.
