Maureen Bray from 3Degrees highlights the climate solutions firm ’ s message of climate commitment and support of its clients ’ sustainability transformation

Common ground now firmly exists among many businesses as they embark on projects in aid of sustainability . The global call to action has seen many corporations developing rapidly to meet the environmental , social and governance ( ESG ) demands of the 21st Century .

Many of these demands relate to the climate crisis tightening collective expectations of companies , with the Paris Climate Agreement seeing more stringent commitments to limit global warming to an increase of 1.5˚C — and nothing more .
Businesses are at the heart of this shift ; a change in sentiment and operational strategy by which they can fully adhere to the accords of the Paris Agreement , while also meeting needs of clients , consumers and partners .
To understand the importance of climate change , the climate advisory firm 3Degrees represents the speed at which the climate crisis has evolved . Founded in 2007 , the company was named after its commitment to limit temperature rises to ‘ 3Degrees ’ — a number that , since the company was born , has been reduced to the 1.5-degree target we know today . As such , the company stands for more than just climate action : 3Degrees ’ name is an indicator of climate urgency , but there are more significant reasons why businesses should be watching the firm .
