Webinar: From COP30 to Boardroom
Translating global climate decisions into corporate decarbonisation and reporting
As COP30 concluded, we took an in-depth look at the outcomes of the UN climate conference; shaping global climate policy for the decade ahead. We reviewed key decisions on finance, energy security and barriers to progress, translating these into practical steps for corporate decarbonisation and ESG reporting.
We covered how to align your sustainability goals with evolving regulations, communicate progress credibly and report effectively to investors.
The session bridged global climate ambition with actionable business strategy but don’t worry if you missed it; you can watch it back on-demand below.
Turn COP30 insights into a competitive advantage and lead your organisation confidently toward a low-carbon future.

“How we respond to the changing climate requires collaboration between world leaders, governments, businesses, and society to mitigate the effects on people and the planet. Events like COP are pivotal in bringing countries together and moving us closer to achieving the targets set out in the Paris Agreement.
Businesses play a crucial role in helping the UK achieve its targets
and through our expertise, we are committed tosupporting them in mitigating risks and capitalising on the opportunities in a low-carbon future.“As with any highly publicised global event, the Climate COPs tend to attract a lot of coverage with conflicting views and biases. This means it can be challenging to sift through the influx of information but with our support, organisations can focus on their daily responsibilities and digest the insights at their convenience.”
