Many companies set a range of near-term commitments regarding the use of circular materials zero‑to‑landfill waste, lower‑carbon logistics and sustainable value chains, but struggle to demonstrate steady progress towards these targets.
A company can purchase offsets to compensate for its impacts. However these sit outside the core operations and typically address carbon only – leaving other impacts such as waste, pollution, and local disruption unchanged. This can raise reputational risks and lack of strategic alignment, especially if not supported by meaningful internal abatement efforts.
