To lead on climate action, engage all of your employees

The guide outlines specific actions for different business departments to drive decarbonization, such as tying executive pay to climate targets, prioritizing sustainable suppliers, and integrating carbon fees into product pricing.

• Companies can drive climate action through governance by linking C-suite compensation to the achievement of climate targets and employing law firms that facilitate client decarbonization and avoid working with extractive industries.
• Procurement and design strategies should focus on sustainable sourcing and circularity, including requiring suppliers to adopt science-based emissions reduction targets and developing products using low-carbon materials optimized for repair, upcycling, and recycling.
• Sales and client-facing roles can contribute by implementing sustainability-based incentives, integrating a 'carbon fee' into product costs to fund emissions reduction, and prioritizing clients involved in climate advocacy.
