The big Q&A debate: What do realistic climate targets really look like?

edie’s 2025 Business Action Month explored leadership and positive action within the sustainability space, examining how sustainability professionals can make positive changes to drive green projects and upskill workers within their organisation.

In conjunction with edie, JRP's George Richards took part in a panel Q&A, delving into what realistic climate targets actually look like.

Faced with mounting public and regulatory pressure, discerning stakeholders and the need to remain competitive within the green space, many companies set ambitious targets that they later find challenging to meet.

This Q&A session talks around some of the questions business leaders have around target-setting and business needs. How should business leaders involve themselves in the target-setting process? How can ambitious goals be met without straining resources or sacrificing work efficiency? And how will the latest standards and regulatory updates impact target delivery on the road to Net Zero?

Discussion points:

  • Setting clear and actionable sustainability goals
  • How to prioritise sustainability targets to drive real change within your organisation
  • The role of leadership in setting goals, and working to achieve them
  • Leveraging data and technology to create, track and achieve sustainability goals
