Race to Zero – towards net zero economy

BCSDH is supporting the business sector to focus on immediate action. The transition to climate-neutral operations and climate adaptation – for any company in any industry – is an important task, and a factor that significantly influences the competitiveness of the business sector. BCSDH helps companies to make concrete commitments and to find related business solutions.

Our aim is to support the leading domestic companies from several industries demonstrating their good examples and commitments, thereby encouraging domestic companies to make similar ambitious commitments towards a carbon-neutral economy.

NET ZERO Advisory Board

On January 18, 2021 the Net Zero Advisory Board has been formed in a uniquely wide collaboration with renowned experts, the primary goal of which is to promote and accelerate the process by which the Hungarian economy can become carbon neutral by 2050, thus taking an important step to stop climate change.

The Advisory Board is a cross-sectoral collaboration, consisting of representatives of Hungarian industry and business leaders, chambers of commerce and associations, was set up as the initiative of the British Embassy and the Hungarian Business Council for Sustainable Development (BCSDH).
