Webinar: Climate Risk and the Role of the Board
In Q2 we launched the Chapter Zero Directors’ Climate Journey, eight steps to enable non-executive directors to initiate and participate effectively in the conversation about business’s climate response.
Key points from our webinar on The business response to the climate challenge.
Our purpose
Chapter Zero is a network of company chairs, committee chairs and non-executive directors, committed to developing their knowledge of the implications of climate change for UK business. Given the far-reaching impact and implications, our purpose is to enable these directors to understand better how it is likely to affect their companies and sectors, and to encourage their boards to hold informed and strategic discussions and respond effectively to the climate change challenge. The name of the network, Chapter Zero, reflects the drive towards a net zero carbon economy and the major role business will play in achieving it.
What we do
We provide a space where the non-executive community can enhance its knowledge, understanding and experience of this complex and critical business challenge. We do this through:
- providing learning events with experienced speakers where members can build their knowledge and their network
- toolkits and other resources which facilitate boardroom discussions
- providing access to relevant new content
WEF principles
The World Economic Forum (“WEF”) published guidance for boards on how to establish climate governance at its 2019 annual meeting in Davos. Chapter Zero is the UK chapter of WEF’s Climate Governance Initiative and, as such, our work supports non-executive directors in putting these Principles into practice. The WEF Principles can be viewed here.
