20% of respondents strongly agree they are on track to meet their emissions reduction targets. These organisations are what we refer to as ‘leading organisations’ and are further along on their decarbonisation journeys than competitors. Seven organisational success factors set them apart and help them address the three challenges outlined above.
Our findings revealed that four weak links exist in every organisation, even leading ones. Organisations will need to address these four weak links to successfully meet emissions reduction targets. In some cases, this may involve implementing new ways of working or overhauling business processes to align them more towards decarbonisation. Some potential ways forward can be found below.
This survey was informed by our proven high-performance organisation framework (see below) which has helped clients achieve lasting impact through increased productivity, lowered costs and reduced emissions.
Survey results and statements shared by respondents confirm leading organisations are far more likely to have adopted key elements of our high-performing organisation framework. This is evidenced by the seven key success factors which tie directly to the three core pillars of our framework. On average, leading organisations are also ahead in implementing all tested elements of these core pillars.
Every organisation can start bridging the gap between aspiration and action to reduce emissions. Even though all organisations share the same weak links, the ability of leading organisations to meet targets demonstrates how critical it is to move forward with decarbonisation programs instead of waiting for perfect solutions.
