Accelerating an inclusive transition to a net-zero global economy by 2050
Mission
To accelerate the achievement of an inclusive net-zero economy no later than 2050.
Our Strategy for Impact
TONZ’s objective was for the world’s largest 1000 companies to have transformation plans that would support targets to achieve net zero no later than 2050. TONZ pursued its mission by:
- Enabling business transformation to fundamentally change operations and practices in line with net zero
- Taking action to achieve net-zero targets, including in value chains and through collaboration and innovation
- Creating incentives for net-zero strategies by scaling investment and supporting ambitious public policies
How We Work
TONZ was a cross-sector group of climate leaders and partner NGOs who worked to enable business transformation.
The group worked to:
- Reshape key business functions, models, products, and services to achieve net-zero targets; amplify these achievements through executive leadership; and enable other companies to accelerate their transformation to net zero by creating and sharing publicly available resources.
- Take collective action and develop tools and resources to achieve science-based net zero-compatible emissions reductions across value chains; redirect capital flows toward investment in net-zero business models, products, and services; and define and implement steps to ensure a just and inclusive net-zero economy.
- Drive systemic change by working with partners to support and promote enabling public policy frameworks, capital market reforms, and other collaborative platforms that enable the achievement of inclusive net-zero goals.
How We Work
Companies can benefit from Transform to Net Zero's guidance on how to commit, plan, and transform their business to achieve net-zero emissions. These materials were developed during the lifetime of the initiative and are publicly available to all interested parties.
