It examines the targets set by these companies and their actual emissions reductions, revealing that while more companies are committing to net zero, many are not reducing emissions quickly enough. The report identifies 20 decarbonization levers and finds that companies adopting multiple levers are more likely to be decarbonizing. It provides a roadmap for companies at different stages of their net zero journey and showcases how Accenture is helping clients and itself to reduce emissions. The report emphasizes the need for companies to move from commitment to action and to reinvent value chains with technology to achieve net zero, creating growth opportunities through sustainable products and services.\\ \\ (Generated with the help of GPT-4) \\ =====Additional Viewpoints===== Categories: {{tag>2050_time_horizon}} | {{tag>2050s_time_horizon}} | {{tag>English_publication_language}} | {{tag>Global_geographic_scope}} | {{tag>business_model_change}} | {{tag>carbon_emissons}} | {{tag>carbon_offsets}} | {{tag>circular_economy}} | {{tag>climate_change}} | {{tag>decarbonization_levers}} | {{tag>emissions_reduction}} | {{tag>energy_efficiency}} | {{tag>global_geographic_scope}} | {{tag>global_warming}} | {{tag>net_zero_targets}} | {{tag>organizational_design}} | {{tag>renewable_energy}} | {{tag>supplier_strategy}} | {{tag>sustainability}} | {{tag>vertical_sectors}} ~~DISCUSSION~~
