Tech Zero
In 2021 in the UK, a group of leading tech companies came together to launch Tech Zero. They knew that by working together, we could make faster progress to net zero. We want companies of all sizes from around the world to join us by making Tech Zero commitments and taking action to reduce their emissions.
Why join?
- The Tech Zero commitments are ambitious but achievable, and show you’re committed to playing your part in tackling the climate crisis. They directly align with the Race to Zeros 5Ps: Pledge to reach net zero, Plan to reach net zero, Proceed to take action, Publish a net zero plan, and Persuade others to take climate action.
- We provide support and guidance whenever they’re needed, and hold each signatory accountable.
- Rather than grappling with the challenge of net zero on your own, you’ll be part of a huge network of companies committed to accelerating progress to net zero. Members are encouraged to share their experience and solutions to overcoming challenges, and we’re always highlighting best practice and inspirational actions for others to follow.
- You’ll have access to exclusive events with climate experts, leading companies who are well on the way to net zero, as well as the most exciting green tech startups who can help you measure and reduce your emissions using the latest technology.
- We provide exclusive offers from green tech startups, update members on the latest solutions, and give tech companies the opportunity to work on their world-changing technologies through our annual hackathon.
