Businesses of all sizes and across all sectors have a clear role to play in climate action, in line with the Paris Agreement and in the lead-up to the COP26 in Glasgow in November 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Over the coming years, every sector in every market will be transformed as the transition to a low-carbon economy is underway. Committing to the Race to Zero goals of net zero carbon emissions by 2050 is also taking the steps necessary to protect and grow your business by reducing costs, by enhancing access to investor capital, by staying ahead of policies and regulations to limit GHG emissions, by increasing your business\u2019 preparedness to external shocks, and by leading on tomorrow\u2019s innovation and transformation.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Race to Zero campaign prior to the event, please turn to the campaign\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/unfccc.int\/climate-action\/race-to-zero-campaign\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #0000ff;\">global website<\/span><\/a>, which provides information on the paths available for joining the campaign, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/sciencebasedtargets.org\/business-ambition-for-1-5c\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\">Science Based Targets initiative<\/span><\/span><\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/smeclimatehub.org\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\">SME Climate Hub<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Agenda<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">14.00 Opening remarks by <strong>British Ambassador Paul Fox and Ambassador of Italy Massimo Rustico<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">14.05 Opening remarks by P<strong>\u00e9ter Kaderj\u00e1k, Minister of State for Energy and Climate Policy<\/strong>, Ministry for Innovation and Technology<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">14.10 <strong>Jennifer Austin<\/strong>, Director of Policy and Strategy, <strong>UK COP26 High Level Climate Action\u2019s Office<\/strong><br \/> &#8211; Race to Zero: a global overview in the run up to COP26<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">14.25 <strong>Kaya Axelsson<\/strong>, Net Zero Policy Engagement Fellow, <strong>Oxford University Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment and the Environmental Change Institute<\/strong><br \/> &#8211; Defining and achieving net zero: the practical resources<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">14.40 Business voices on the Race to Zero: Translating global pledges into local action<br \/> &#8211; Speakers: <strong>Zsolt P\u00e1rtos<\/strong>, Managing Director, Tesco Hungary; <strong>L\u00e1szl\u00f3 K\u00e1rolyi<\/strong>, CEO of Legrand Hungary; <strong>Tibor R\u00e9kasi<\/strong>, CEO of Magyar Telekom (tbc); <strong>Tibor Bodor<\/strong>, CEO, ING Wholesale Banking Hungary; <strong>Andr\u00e1s F\u00fcl\u00f6p<\/strong>, Managing Partner, Deloitte Hungary (tbc); <strong>P\u00e9ter \u00c9li\u00e1s<\/strong>, Head of Environmental Management, Audi Hungaria; <strong>Rolf Schnitzer<\/strong>, CEO, Budapest Airport; and Fiat Chrysler (tbc).<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">15.05 Discussion and exchange of expertise<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">15.25 Closing remarks: <strong>Ir\u00e9n M\u00e1rta<\/strong>, Managing Director, <strong>BCSDH<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bcsdh.hu\/registration-businesses-for-race-to-zero-online-event-3rd-december-2020-1400\/\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\">Register here<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join us for free to hear from Race to Zero policy experts.<\/p>\n<p>Date: 3 December 14:00 CET<\/p>\n<p>Registration link on the event&#8217;s page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2243,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[9,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bcch-news","category-partner-events"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Businesses for Race to Zero: Achieving the net zero 2050 targets - BCCH<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/bcch.com\/?p=2225\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Businesses for Race to Zero: Achieving the net zero 2050 targets - BCCH\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Join us for free to hear from Race to Zero policy experts.
