Sustainable development is a systematic project, which requires enterprises to carry out profound changes in business operation, organization and ecological chain. However, a common phenomenon mentioned in the report is that in order to achieve carbon reduction goals, increasing investment has become the consensus of enterprises, but for the specific investment ways and paths, most enterprises of different industries and different sizes do not have a clear plan.

PXIE-4357 In view of the multiple challenges faced by enterprises in the process of carbon reduction, such as unclear direction, unclear path, poor implementation, and uncertain returns, Lv Zhiyong, head of the sustainable development and carbon neutral consulting business of Schneider Electric, suggested that the carbon reduction path can be planned from two aspects: the first is the policy level, and the second is the market level.
