They are now central to how companies manage risk, boost efficiency, attract talent, drive innovation and create long-term value. However, achieving these goals remains a challenge, as execution often stalls due to siloed structures, competing priorities and limited ownership beyond the sustainability function.  \nThe challenge isn’t just about ambition—it’s about integration. Many companies struggle to translate climate goals into everyday business practices. Key decisions around sourcing, product design, logistics and customer engagement often happen in isolation from climate strategy. According to Accenture, only 16% of the world’s largest companies are currently on track to meet their net zero targets by 2050 . This shortfall represents more than a credibility gap; it’s a growing operational risk.  \nWhile essential for mitigating climate risks, sustainability teams are often small, siloed and tasked with driving complex climate strategies across departments that may not fully understand their role in the process. Meanwhile, employees across procurement, logistics, HR, operations and product development are eager to contribute—Deloitte research shows that over 80% are willing to take climate action at work, and nearly half want to lead that change. Yet most feel they lack the structure, permission or clear pathways to engage. Closing this divide is critical to making climate goals actionable across the enterprise.  \nClimate action requires more than top-down targets. It demands broad-based internal engagement, where employees across roles feel empowered to identify and implement solutions. Despite this, many companies have not integrated climate into the everyday decisions, incentives and collaboration mechanisms that shape how work gets done.  \nTo bridge this gap, the Environmental Defense Fund’s Net Zero Action Accelerator has developed a structured, team-based engagement model designed to activate internal talent and embed climate thinking across the business. Our program brings together small, cross-functional employee cohorts to work on real-world sustainability challenges sourced from company leadership. These challenges may focus on emissions hotspots in the value chain, supply chain resilience, product innovation or supplier engagement—areas where employees already influence outcomes but haven’t been engaged strategically in climate solutions.  \nBy shifting the narrative from “climate as a sustainability team task” to “climate as a shared leadership opportunity,” this program builds internal momentum, strengthens collaboration, mitigates risks, fosters innovation and integrates climate thinking into daily business decisions. This isn't just a sustainability program. It’s a leadership accelerator—and a catalyst for innovation, resilience and culture change.  \n3  \nObjective  \nOur framework empowers cross-functional cohorts of corporate employees to lead actionable climate initiatives through structured, challenge-based projects —aligned with their company’s climate commitments, talent development, innovation strategy and business resiliency goals. The goal is to build climate skills capacity that creates long-term value across the organization.  \nProposed Framework  \nThis new employee engagement framework is designed for companies that r","cbCaikBdxD02M0XL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikBdxD02M0XL","pdf",3092641,19,"English","# Introduction\n## Objective\n## Proposed Framework\n## How the Framework Works\n## Prior to Program Kickoff\n## Program Kickoff\n## The Business Case for the Proposed Framework\n## Anticipated Barriers\n## Conclusion and Call to Action\n## Appendix\n## Project Scope Design\n## Recruitment and Communication\n## Project Work and Support\n## Participant Evaluation and Feedback Survey Template\n## EDF’s Net Zero Action Accelerator Resources","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the framework address for corporate climate action?\",\"answer\":\"It tackles execution gaps caused by siloed structures, competing priorities, and limited ownership beyond sustainability functions.
