Founder and Chief Executive Officer @Mission Net Zero

London, GB

We are all aware of the growing urgency for governments and businesses to limit global warming to no more than 1.5°C, to protect human health and economic growth. As global emissions must be halved by 2030 with net zero carbon emissions by 2050 it is imperative for all organisations, public and private, to make achieving net zero central to all strategy and decision making.The hospitality industry is amongst the highest users of energy and water and contributors of waste to landfill per square foot. With many hotel operators looking to develop a sustainability roadmap, Mission : Net Zero works in partnership with clients, helping those who have already set sustainability targets and those who want to commit to the journey to sustainability. We collaborate with clients to develop and deliver a strategic sustainability management plan, focused on their specific business models, providing a full suite of sustainability services to help at every stage of the transition.With socially responsible investors using Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria to measure the sustainability and ethical impact of a business and with increasing numbers of eco-minded customers making environmental credentials a critical part of their buying decision, by participating in a respected, independent eco-label accreditation scheme clients can demonstrate they are operating a greener business and in doing so can earn a valuable hallmark of sustainable green achievement which demonstrates to investors, staff, and customers their commitment to fulfil the strict environmental responsibility and sustainability criteria within the hospitality industry.
