Decarbonization in an ESG-Driven Environment
Written by Sandy Williams
ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and decarbonization are big concerns for corporate investors in the metals and mining sector, according to a recent survey by CRU. How prepared are global corporations to take on the changes needed to reach zero emissions?
China is a leader in decarbonization, announcing in September a target of net zero emissions by 2060. China continues to increase the stringency of its five-year environmental plans and has achieved or exceeded all of its targets. Although the most recent target is challenging, panelists at the 220 CRU Breakfast this week agreed that given China’s innovative nature and policy mandates, the goal is achievable.
