Net Zero Week

What is Net Zero Week?

BSI’s Net Zero week provided a multi-sector view of the collective challenges that must be met for the UK to reach our net zero carbon emissions target by 2050.

The week comprised generic and sector specific webinars on approaches to and targets for achieving net zero.

The sessions have been recorded and they are now available to watch on-demand. The sessions include:

As part of BSI’s Net Zero Week, this general introductory webinar explores the legislative drivers that are framing the UK Government’s response to net zero and how organizations can best adapt, both strategically and operationally. We ask what tools and techniques will help, and how greener investment (in projects and people) can be prioritized.

As part of BSI’s Net Zero Week – and with a focus on road transport – this session discusses the role emerging technologies are playing, supported by standards, in helping deliver zero-emission/carbon transport and vehicles.

What’s this webinar about?

The health and care system in England is responsible for an estimated 4 – 5 per cent of the country’s carbon footprint – so has a major role to play in supporting the net zero target. The NHS has therefore committed to reaching net zero as soon as possible.

As part of BSI’s Net Zero Week, this webinar will explore several areas critical to carbon reduction in healthcare. Presentations will be followed by a roundtable discussion and Q&A.

What’s this webinar about?

We’re going to engage with the issues and challenges that consumers face when making the transition to electric vehicles (EVs). We’ll look at what’s driving policy and the other initiatives that aim to improve the consumer experience of charging EVs on the public network, including the introduction of the upcoming PAS 1899 to support more accessible charge point design.
