ISO Net Zero & Spheres of Influence: Ask the Experts
How can companies contribute to global net zero beyond reducing their own emissions? (Hint: you might be already!) And how do we recognise and measure meaningful climate action across the wider systems they influence?
Join Futerra and Oxford Net Zero for an interactive AMA exploring updates to the ISO Net Zero Standard, SBTi, and the evolving Spheres of Influence framework.
Developed by Oxford Net Zero and Futerra, the Spheres of Influence framework helps organisations understand how they can accelerate the transition to a net zero economy beyond operational decarbonisation. As new climate standards emerge, these ideas are increasingly reflected in mainstream guidance, including the latest net zero standards.
Join Futerra and Oxford Net Zero for an interactive Ask Me Anything (AMA) exploring the latest updates in the ISO Net Zero Standard, SBTi, and the evolution of the Spheres of Influence framework. You’ll hear from:
• Solitaire Townsend, Chief Solutionist, Futerra
• Kaya Axelsson, Oxford Net Zero and lead technical author of the seed draft for the ISO Net Zero Standard
• Robert Höglund, Head of Climate, Milkywire
• Shana Gallagher, Net Zero Engagement, BSI
Topics include:
· How the ISO Net Zero Standard defines corporate responsibility beyond reducing emissions
· The influence-based actions it recognises, including policy engagement, transition finance, climate solutions, value chain transformation, advocacy, and innovation
· How organisations can distinguish meaningful system-level contributions from greenwashing, and measure and communicate them effectively
· How the Spheres framework supports requirements in the draft ISO 14060 Net Zero Standard and other disclosure and transition-planning frameworks
· Practical steps organisations can take now to align with emerging best practice and prepare for independent verification of net zero transition plans
This is an opportunity to hear directly from those shaping the framework, ask questions, and explore the next generation of credible corporate climate action.
Whether you're new to Standards and Spheres or have followed their evolution, join us to learn how companies can use every lever available to help accelerate the global transition to net zero.
Designed for corporate climate leaders and teams, the session will include plenty of time for questions and discussion.
We look forward to the conversation.
