After the Paris Agreement the message was clear: Ambition, Ambition, Ambition. Many have set science-based targets aligned with 1.5ºC, others are starting their journey to net-zero. The Net-Zero Standard makes clear that companies should be working to cut around 90% of their emissions by 2050 at the latest.

With the transport sector a significant generator of greenhouse gas emissions, electric vehicles are an important element of the net zero transition. In most countries, the transport sector is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and wide-scale adoption of EVs features in many countries’ net zero transition plans.
