From sustainability targets to concrete results in 2025

Leading companies are already seeing significant gains from decarbonization efforts—up to $200 million in net benefits per year, according to our latest Carbon Survey.?

How can more companies achieve similar results in 2025? Key insights from our events at Climate Week NYC:

• Henry Fovargue, VP of Sustainability at Sysco, is leading efforts to decarbonize the company’s $70 billion business, with a focus on reducing vast Scope 3 emissions from tens of thousands of suppliers.
• Symrise is taking a bold step by industrializing product-level footprinting for its 35,000 products, positioning itself as a long-term leader with customers.
• David Croft, Global Head of Sustainability at Reckitt, highlighted the transformative role of AI, explaining how CO2 AI mapped emissions for 25,000 products in just four months—giving them precise, actionable data.

Thank you to these leaders, and everyone who joined, for sharing perspectives and helping us all move forward on the path to limiting climate change.
