Industry net zero accelerator

Tech innovations in manufacturing and supply chains to accelerate the path to net zero

As a strategic partner to the World Economic Forum, we are co-leading this critical initiative with the Forum, Siemens, Rockwell Automation, and Cambridge Industrial Innovation Policy (Institute for Manufacturing, University of Cambridge). This exceptional collaboration, with a growing community of more than 50 industry leaders, technology specialists and academia experts, aims to drive actionable solutions for industrial decarbonization.

Representing nearly 30% of global GHG emissions, reaching net zero in manufacturing and value chains will be one of the most critical and most difficult challenges of our times. Our initiative aims to establish a cross-industry space under the Forum’s neutral platform to guide industry leaders’ strategic action, and support and scale systemic collaborations to solve the concrete challenges in the path towards net zero.

Sustainability trends 2024

To understand the progress being made, the Capgemini Research Institute conducted an extensive survey involving 2,152 executives from 727 organizations with annual revenues exceeding $1 billion across 13 countries worldwide. They also surveyed 6,500 consumers from the same 13 countries to gain a comprehensive view of sustainability from both organizational and consumer perspectives.

The results of this survey have been collected in the third edition of our A world in balance series. By comparing this data with previous years’ surveys, we examine the progress organizations have made in environmental and social sustainability over the past three years and identify the challenges they face.
