The SBTi session clarified thresholds for recalculating and revalidating targets during expansions or M&A while discussions on emissions from software products offered practical insights. The inspiration and ideation board served as a practical ‘cookbook’ towards our decarbonization pathway. On completing the Climate Ambition Accelerator programme, I’m delighted to join the Climate Exchange Group to stay informed and share best practices."
