Net Zero Coalition expands membership to 10 companies

Announced last year at COP27, these companies join founding members Bechtel, GE, GM, Invenergy, Honeywell and Johnson Controls.

The US Centre at COP28, taking place in Dubai, UAE, starting on 30 November 2023, will feature an exhibit titled 'US Innovation: Pathways toward Net Zero' from CCITNZ members and partners. The interactive multimedia exhibit will demonstrate how American innovation, the Inflation Reduction Act, and other US and global policies are contributing toward global climate goals. The digital experience will showcase breakthrough technologies and groundbreaking projects. CCITNZ members and partners also spotlight how public-private partnerships can encourage the development of innovative solutions across the energy, transportation, infrastructure, agricultural and other sectors to promote long-term sustainable progress.

Lorenzo Simonelli, Baker Hughes Chairman and CEO, said: "The need for transformative partnerships in addressing climate action has never been more urgent. Increasing global energy needs must be met while simultaneously reducing emissions urgently. At Baker Hughes, our business is built on partnerships and service. Today, we know this matters more than ever as we work to balance the energy trilemma of security, sustainability, and affordability."

Chris Raymond, Boeing Chief Sustainability Officer, said: “We’re honoured to join this coalition so we can learn from one another and implement break-through technologies that will ultimately support our stakeholders’ ambitious climate goals.”

Lauren Riley, Chief Sustainability Officer, United, commented: “United is taking bold action to combat climate change, and technology and innovation are at the core of our company’s strategy to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. “Decarbonising airplanes presents a unique set of challenges. That’s why we’re using every tool available – from investing in sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs), to electric and hydrogen powered aircrafts, to battery technology. This multi-pronged approach allows the airline to make bets on climate tech that will be ready in the coming decades, while also identifying technology that can more immediately help reduce our carbon footprint.”

David Gitlin, Chairman & CEO, Carrier, said: “We are honoured to be a part of this coalition of industry leaders who share the same vision and commitment as Carrier in helping to solve some of the world’s most complex climate challenges. Looking ahead, Carrier will continue to be a catalyst for positive and sustainable change as we innovate and drive toward the critical transition to renewable energy.”

Members of CCITNZ are leaders in their industries and are making significant contributions towards the coalition’s objectives of advancing innovation and technology; private, public and social sector partnerships; energy security; policy; and serving as a resource to governments and other stakeholders as they seek to achieve their decarbonisation and climate change goals.
