This international panel of companies produce almost 12% of the global greenhouse gas emissions. As part of this report, they have been asked about their responses to face climate change in their everyday activities and the solutions put in place to limit their carbon footprint. 89% of the surveyed companies in 2017 have for main goal the reduction of their gas emissions against 73% in 2011. Besides, the companies aim for a big reduction of these emissions: 74% of them wants a 80% overall reduction.<\/p>\n

More and more enterprises want to be sure of their growth while making their part for a better future: for that they rely on a scientific model to efficiently cut their gas emissions. 14% of the participating companies (151 in total) have commit or have goals in line with the Science Based Targets initiative. In 2016, they were only 9%. And it\u2019s no less than 317 enterprises that are planning to set up tools and actions to get there within 2 years. This initiative is in line with a 2 degrees Celsius compatible pathway by 2030 by helping companies to avoid investments in polluting infrastructures and pointing them towards more respectful alternatives.<\/p>\n
