This masterclass will explore transition planning and the role of the NED, covering what transition planning is (and isn't), how the expectations of the NED are developing in relation to climate, and the core concepts related to transition planning, including key frameworks, advanced practices and approaches to reporting.
Climate transition plans are becoming increasingly needed to gain access to capital, ensure business efficiency, comply with market and regulatory asks, and support a transition to net zero. However, companies face barriers to developing and implementing plans which align with and support their overall business strategy.
Directors find themselves tasked with establishing how to capitalise on the business opportunities presented by net zero and guiding the transition, moving this from a compliance issue to a commercial imperative.
The latest series from Chapter Zero, in partnership with the Oliver Wyman Forum, offers interactive masterclasses that are exclusively for FTSE350 NEDs and Chairs. This is the first of the three sessions.
This masterclass will allow delegates to:
- Discuss what a transition plan is and why it matters.
- Understand the opportunities, challenges, and importance of transition planning in the journey to Net Zero.
- Share perspectives on how NED roles are evolving with regards to climate, sustainability, and transition planning.
- Build insight of transition planning basics and best practices (taking case studies into consideration).
The in-person workshops will go beyond theory, diving into the crux of embedding transition plans into business strategy and helping you navigate some of the more challenging aspects of the transition planning process through a commercial lens.
Participants will delve into real life scenarios and boardroom dilemmas in practical group discussions, exploring strategies and new perspectives to take back to your boards.
