Why did your company sign the Climate Action Pledge?
|
|
 Titan signed up for the Climate Action Pledge because we, as a company, believe in the cause. Our moral obligation as a prominent environmentally-conscious company is to protect the Earth. By supporting this pledge we are choosing to be leaders in the fight for carbon footprint reduction and are doing our part to prevent environmental damage in the future.

Why is it important for business owners to speak up and show leadership on climate change?
|
|
|
Business owners are drivers of change in their industries, and collectively we have a strong voice. We need to work together on educating a wide range of audiences in climate change to help reduce carbon footprint. If we ignore this now, our country’s pristine forests, lakes, rivers, and nature will be compromised. We need to avoid this for the well-being of our future generations.

What is something you hope BizforClimate can change through our collective efforts?
|
|
|
We see BizforClimate as a conduit to educate and raise awareness about global climate change issues while acting as valuable public resources. Ultimately, we hope BizforClimate will have a meaningful impact on public policy development as it relates to carbon footprint reduction in the civil construction industry.

This toolkit prepared by the Canada West Foundation explains the types of government policy actions that can be used to shape the behaviour of consumers, markets, producers, investors and of competing jurisdictions to help cleantech companies succeed.

9 Requirements for Net-Zero: Ensuring an Orderly Transition
The struggle to reach net-zero requires the world to rapidly eliminate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the greatest extent possible and also preserve, regenerate, and develop the natural and man-made stores of greenhouse gases to balance all that cannot be reduced.
The trend towards “net-zero’ commitments is on the rise, but the net-zero equation is not yet solved. As this piece from McKinsey argues, this can only change if nine interdependent requirements are met with “singular resolve, unity, and ingenuity.”
