Innovation has provided much of technology and expertise we have to deal with much of the emissions, if applied correctly. However, with more of the world’s investors realising the risk and opportunity associated with building a Net Zero economy, in discussion with Anthesis CEO Stuart McLachlan, we look at the role Anthesis Ventures is playing in bringing new ways of thinking and ground-breaking technologies to the market.

It is increasingly recognised that organisations are likely to continue to emit residual emissions from operations and their supply chains. But to achieve a Net Zero position, action must be taken which balances this out through off-site mechanisms through removing or avoiding emissions elsewhere. In this episode, our host Tobias Parker talks with Nadège Trocellier, Anthesis Lavola Climate Change Manager, about insetting and offsetting carbon emissions as investment vehicles for reducing risk, and improving value chain performance.

The best way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is to avoid them in the first place through better design and smarter decision-making.
