Beyond Value Chain Mitigation and
Neutralisation ​​​​​​​in the context of SBTs and Net Zero 

The race to net zero is one of the most urgent and challenging tasks our society is facing. Besides target setting for reduction within a company’s value chain, the SBTi mentions two additional key components: beyond value chain mitigation (BVCM) and neutralisation.  

​​​​​Join our online panel and explore what next steps your company can take to contribute to the race to net zero. We have gathered leading experts from SBTi, Gold Standard, PwC, WWF and ClimatePartner to share their expertise and to discuss implementation of BVCM and neutralisation into corporate climate action.
