Fortune 500 Companies Accelerate Climate Commitments
Major corporations announce more ambitious emissions targets and concrete action plans.
The pace of corporate climate commitments has accelerated dramatically, with companies setting increasingly ambitious targets.
## Commitment Scale
Over 60% of Fortune 500 companies have now committed to net-zero emissions, up from just 20% three years ago.
## Beyond Pledges
Unlike earlier commitments, current announcements include specific interim targets and detailed implementation plans.
## Supply Chain Focus
Companies are increasingly addressing Scope 3 emissions from their supply chains, the largest source for most businesses.
## Investor Pressure
Shareholder activism and institutional investor requirements are driving much of this acceleration.
