Race To Zero

Charting corporate climate ambition

The world's largest corporations with the most ambitious climate commitments have pledged to cut emissions to zero or even capture more carbon than they actually emit. An analysis of data from the UNFCCC's Race to Zero campaign, Net Zero Tracker project, and financial records shows that among those companies are a number of household names like Starbucks, Comcast, Microsoft and Netflix. Overall, however, less than 15% of the world's largest 3,000 companies have any sort of vetted climate commitment. We expect this number to grow in the wake of COP 26.
