Partnering towards net zero
The climate crisis can only be tackled through collaboration between public and private sectors. We’re using our global network, scale, and influence to advocate for systemic action.
We’re also working with governments, banks, and other global institutions to ensure investment can be swiftly channelled towards truly sustainable projects.
And through our partnerships, we’re playing a role in developing the technologies needed to take the world to net zero.
