Approaching 430 ppm of CO₂
Atmospheric CO₂ concentrations are now exceeding 425 parts per million (ppm), levels unprecedented in at least 2 million years. This accumulation is the primary driver of long-term warming and climate instability.

The Warmest Decade on Record
According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the last decade (2015–2025) has been the warmest on record. Global average temperatures are now dangerously close to the 1.5°C limit set by the Paris Agreement.

1.2 Trillion Tons of Ice Lost Each Year
Accelerated ice melt contributes directly to rising sea levels and long-term climate instability. The Earth is losing approximately 1.2 trillion tons of ice annually across mountain glaciers, Greenland, and Antarctica.

What is the difference between Climate Change and Global Warming?
Global Warming: refers specifically to the rise in global temperatures due mainly to the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Climate Change: encompasses global warming as well as its broader consequences, including changes in precipitation patterns, extreme weather events, ocean acidification, and ecosystem disruption.
In other words: Global warming is the driver; climate change is the result.
Sunlight passes through the atmosphere, bringing essential light and warmth to life on Earth.
The Earth absorbs part of the radiation and reflects another part back into the atmosphere. This process is a key element of the Earth's climate system, helping to regulate the planet's surface temperature. (infrared radiation).
Greenhouse gases (CO₂, Methane, etc.) trap some of this outgoing heat, preventing it from escaping and warming the planet. (Source: IPCC)

The Paris Agreement a Global Framework For Action
Adopted in December 2015 and signed by nearly all countries worldwide, the Paris Agreement is a significant international treaty to combat climate change. It aims to limit global warming to below 2°C, with an ideal goal of 1.5°C, by encouraging countries to set and update emission reduction targets.
It highlights transparency, accountability, and global cooperation in addressing climate change impacts, serving as a crucial framework for sustainable, low-carbon solutions for a resilient and sustainable future.
Ten Years After Paris: Back to Reality
A decade later, the gap between commitments and reality remains significant. To keep the 1.5°C goal alive, science dictates that global emissions must be reduced by 43% by 2030 (relative to 2019 levels).

However, current policies put the world on a trajectory for approximately 2.5°C to 2.9°C of warming by 2100. For businesses, this context is no longer abstract. Climate change is reshaping supply chains, increasing operational risks, and transforming regulatory frameworks (like the CSRD). Aligning corporate strategies with the Paris Agreement is now a strategic necessity.
Drastic Emission Reductions: Cutting value-chain emissions by 90% or more.
Carbon Removal: Neutralizing the remaining <10% of "residual" emissions through permanent carbon removal projects.
*Carbon removal is not a substitute for reduction, but a complementary tool once emissions have been reduced as far as possible. For more information, you can check our Net Zero Initiative page.
SBTi: The Global Standard for Credible Net-Zero Strategies
Net zero is therefore not a distant ambition or a branding exercise. It is a decade-defining pathway that will shape risk exposure, regulatory compliance, and long-term value creation. Companies that align early with climate science and embed net zero into their core strategy will be better positioned to navigate the transition and contribute meaningfully to a stable and livable future.
Credibility increasingly depends on alignment with recognized scientific frameworks. The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) provides the most robust reference for corporate net-zero strategies, requiring companies to cover the majority of their emissions (including value-chain emissions), set near-term targets for 2030, and commit to deep decarbonization by mid-century.

Measure
It all begins with a comprehensive GHG assessment (Scopes 1, 2, and 3), in compliance with national and international standards, to identify carbon "Hotspots."
Our Offer 
Reduce
Leveraging a complete GHG assessment allows companies to implement targeted reduction strategies and deploy a concrete action plan.
By submitting their action plans for official validation by the SBTi, companies transform their goals into a certified, globally recognized commitment. This guarantees the credibility of their roadmap and ensures full resilience against evolving regulatory standards.

Contribute
Companies can support global mitigation efforts by investing in high-quality carbon removal and avoidance projects (carbon sinks) that tackle climate change. This allows them to finance the transition beyond their value chain.
Our offer
Report & Align
To ensure credibility, companies must adopt robust reporting practices aligned with frameworks such as CDP or the EU CSRD. Transparent disclosure of emissions and progress is essential to avoid greenwashing and build stakeholder trust.
