Decoupling economic growth from emissions is vital to reach Net Zero.

Grow to Zero is an original whitepaper from the Carbon Trust outlining how Net Zero standards can encourage responsible growth for climate solutions providers and incentivise high-growth companies to operate at low-carbon intensity.

With a focus on the Science Based Target Initiative's (SBTi) Corporate Net Zero standard, it includes analysis on the Sectoral Decarbonisation Approach (SDA) and intensity reduction approaches companies use to set corporate emissions reductions targets in line with climate science. 

The whitepaper outlines enhancements to these approaches to:

• increase flexibility and relevance of the framework for climate solutions providers scaling up  
• encourage low-carbon, high-growth companies to gain market share from carbon-intensive competitors. 

Read Grow to Zero to discover the current state of play for corporate decoupling and the Carbon Trust’s recommendations for how standards can incentivise low-carbon, high-growth companies to lead on the Net Zero transition.
