Net Zero

Net Zero

Net Zero

Are you ready to take climate action with Aalborg and the rest of the world? In the largest global alliance ever, a wide variety of countries, cities, companies and other economic players have joined forces to achieve net zero before 2050. Aalborg – and hopefully your company – included. 

Why Aalborg?

Is your company primed for operating in a net zero world? Because net zero will without a doubt become a license to play in the future, and Aalborg is already paving the way. 

In 2020, the UN campaign “Race to Zero” was launched to achieve the Paris Agreement’s goal of urging a wide range of economic actors to take climate and environmental leadership and embark on the difficult and ambitious path towards climate neutrality in 2050. Since then, 120 countries together with thousands of cities, regions, companies, institutions and investors – equivalent to almost 25 % of the global CO2 emissions – have committed to becoming climate neutral by 2050 by changing policy, technology and behaviour.

Your company can also contribute by reducing your own CO2 emissions and other greenhouse gases or by compensating in both production and value chain. Whether you are well on your way or just getting started, we are ready to partner up with you and support you all the way to an overall zero balance on your own emissions accounts.
