Neste and the Exponential Roadmap Initiative (ERI) have started collaboration aiming to align with the criteria of the UN Climate Change High-Level Champion’s Race to Zero. The aim of the collaboration is to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by accelerating climate action in the business and its global value chains.

Neste recognizes the need to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 50% every decade and reach global net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner to limit global warming as close as possible to 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial levels. Neste has been closely analyzing and following the development of leading climate frameworks, including the Exponential Roadmap Initiative, to guide its climate commitments toward being in line with the latest climate science and the 1.5°C pathway.

ERI works to radically shift out the fossil economy and exponentially scale climate solutions to halve emissions before 2030. It supports companies in their efforts to reduce own and value chain emissions, to shift portfolios to climate solutions and actively influence policy.

Neste’s goal is to align its climate performance against the Race to Zero starting line 3.0 criteria.

The UN Climate Change High-Level Champion’s Race to Zero is the world’s largest coalition of non-state actors to take action on emissions reductions, and ERI is an accredited Race to Zero partner. ERI will support Neste with advice on identifying and closing key gaps for meeting the criteria for becoming a member in ERI and the Race to Zero.

Exponential Roadmap Initiative (ERI) drives exponential transformation to halve emissions by 2030 by uniting innovative, transformative and disruptive companies. ERI supports leading companies to radically reduce value chain emissions, to scale climate solutions and to contribute to accelerating climate action in society.

@rosebellendiritu An acceptable plan too. It is true that we are more than willing to accept any carbon emission reduction program because it means a safer planet and a cleaner environment for us all .

@walter_lungayi Possibly. What we can ask for is the parties to maintain their emissions now as they work on reducing them in the long-term and for them to maintain their promises to reduce them.
