I am trying to change the way we work, the relationship we have our work and the world around us. We live in a complicated world with a lot of noise. But we need to be making decisions now and those decisions will have ramifications for decades. Will we always make the right decisions; no. But are we doing it for the right reasons I would like to say yes to that - speaking from my heart. This is an audible blog on what I am doing and what we as a business are doing. Some could say it is self promotion, it probably is a bit, I am trying to change the world and be a part of the solution BUT it is also my way to articulate where I am and keep a log of it for my future self and maybe others will learn from my mistakes as I am sure there will be loads!!

    Why the UK's New PM Could Make or Break Net Zero

    This week in sustainability, Europe rewrote the rules of its carbon market, the UK got a new prime minister with a climate balancing act to manage, and sustainability teams everywhere are turning into risk managers. We break down the EU's ETS overhaul, the new Electrification Action Plan, and what a 55% jump in climate tech investment tells us about where the smart money is heading. Plus: the $44 trillion nature risk number that should be on every CFO's radar, and why AI is quietly reshaping what a sustainability team actually does day to day. If you're a business leader trying to keep up with net zero policy, carbon markets, and climate risk without wading through every headline yourself, this is your shortcut.

    The Carbon Impact of the Internet

    If the internet were a country, its emissions would rank higher than international aviation. Most boardrooms have not caught up. By the end you will know where the credible 2026 data sits, and what to do about it. How are you managing Scope 3 supplier data right now? We're offering a free sustainability assessment of your top 10 suppliers, giving you a clearer picture of your Scope 3 data and where supplier engagement can improve. At 51toCarbonZero, we help organisations engage suppliers and build an accurate picture of their value chain, without the manual effort usually needed from you or them. Worth a 30 minute chat next week? https://calendly.com/51tocarbonzero/substack When we talk about emissions, transport, heavy industry and power generation dominate the conversation. One source still slips under the radar despite being used by two-thirds of the world every day: the internet itself. The joint World Bank and ITU report (2024) puts the ICT sector's share of global greenhouse gas emissions between 1.5 and 4 per cent, with a conservative floor of at least 1.7 per cent. That is already larger than international aviation, and it is growing fast. The driver is electricity. Data centres alone consumed around 415 terawatt hours in 2024, roughly 1.5 per cent of global electricity use, according to the International Energy Agency. The IEA expects that to more than double to around 945 TWh by 2030, with AI as the dominant accelerant. Digital decisions are now energy decisions.

    Why Net Zero Plans Fail (And How to Fix It)

    Eighty per cent of listed companies have a net zero commitment. Only eleven per cent have cut emissions. By the end of this you will know exactly why plans stall in delivery, and what closes the gap. How are you managing Scope 3 supplier data right now? We're offering a free sustainability assessment of your top 10 suppliers, giving you a clearer picture of your Scope 3 data and where supplier engagement can improve. At 51toCarbonZero, we help organisations engage suppliers and build an accurate picture of their value chain, without the manual effort usually needed from you or them. Worth a 30 minute chat next week? https://calendly.com/51tocarbonzero/substack That gap is not a strategy problem. It is an execution problem. Creating a net zero plan is the straightforward part: targets, timelines, a tidy deck. Implementing it is where the real work lives, and where most organisations get stuck. Let me show you the three ways delivery breaks, why implementation needs to work differently, and what an integrated approach actually delivers.

    The Freezer Setting That Could Cut 18 Million Tonnes of CO2

    This week's biggest sustainability story is SBTi's Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0, the largest update to corporate target setting since 2021, and what it means if your organisation already has a target or is thinking about setting one. I also cover why Microsoft and Google's AI data centre buildout is putting real pressure on their own climate commitments, why JBS and Starbucks have both stepped back from supply chain net zero goals this week, and the extreme heat that's already rewriting cricket and tennis fixtures across England. Stay to the end for three mind-blowing facts, including a freezer temperature change that could remove 18 million tonnes of CO2e from the global food system every year, with zero impact on food safety.

    How Sustainability Leaders Are Reading This Week's Heat and Reporting News

    This week, Europe is sweltering through another record heatwave, Brussels has torn up a chunk of its own sustainability reporting rulebook, and two of the biggest names in food and drink have quietly stepped back from their climate targets. I run through the top 10 sustainability stories that mattered this week, from AI's rising energy bill to why private equity is suddenly obsessed with climate risk. If you work in net zero strategy, carbon accounting or corporate reporting, this is your shortcut to what's actually worth knowing. I cover: the EU's CSRD reporting overhaul, Starbucks and JBS pulling back on climate goals, AI data centres and Scope 3 emissions, superpollutants, and the UK heatwave numbers that should worry every business leader.

    What Vancouver Gets Right About Hosting a Sustainable World Cup

    The 2026 World Cup carbon story everyone's talking about only tells 3% of the truth. We dug into the real environmental impact of the 2026 World Cup and found six stories FIFA isn't joining up: water stress in North American stadiums, 800 native trees at risk in Mexico City, biodiversity corridors under threat, and a travel footprint that makes up 87.8% of total emissions while stadium operations sit at just 3.1%. We also found the one host city getting it right. Vancouver's BC Place runs on nearly 95% renewable electricity and sits within a 10 minute walk of 26 public transport stops, decisions made decades before this tournament was ever awarded. If your organisation runs major events, or you want to understand what real climate strategy looks like beyond the headline number, this one's for you.
