Driving for Net Zero

Published 8 July 2022

As I sit at my desk at the end of Net Zero Week, I feel the urge to shout “Are we nearly there yet ???” A familiar cry to anyone who has set out on a road trip with their family. I can’t see the sea yet and I’m sitting in yet another traffic jam!! Although the truth ( as it so often is ) is that we are only just reaching the end of the driveway when it comes to Climate Change it’s not all doom and gloom and melted ice cream.

In our Corporate Insurance & Risk team, we’re passionate about helping our clients tackle the challenges they face daily with climate change and helping them work towards Net Zero. It’s part of our job to identify these challenges and map out procedures and innovations that support Net Zero goals. Below we’ve detailed the key areas in the push for carbon neutrality where we’ve identified progress and areas that remain ongoing challenges where the solutions might not be readily available.

Over the coming weeks we will be taking a deeper dive into the opportunities and challenges facing specific industry sectors, such as retail, transport and manufacturing on their journeys to achieving Net Zero.

At DAC Beachcroft we have experts in risk management, planning, insurance, regulation, the environment and construction both in the UK and internationally. We work collaboratively to help you navigate the cross sector and cross border challenges of climate change.

Our Corporate Insurance and Risk lawyers will work with you to identify the risks, take appropriate action to mitigate the effects, protect your position and, keep you up to date with developments so you can make the right decisions for your business.
