Climate transition planning: the Swiss army knife of stakeholder engagement
Join our webinar on Thursday 1 May:
Time: 15:00 – 16:00 BST / 16:00 – 17:00 CET / 10:00 – 11:00 EDT
Location: Microsoft Teams
Climate transition plans provide the bridge between ambition and action, demonstrating in clear terms how a business plans to stay resilient to, and contribute to, the low carbon transition.
Importantly, although they form part of wider compliance and regulatory shifts, transition plans are also a critical tool in helping businesses cut through the confusion and get things done.
And that’s not all – when it comes to communication, they’re the Swiss army knife of stakeholder engagement.
A robust and strategic climate transition plan can provide the frame for a company to talk to its key audiences, whether Exec boards, investors, sales teams, employees, customers, suppliers, consumers, or others, about the core issues that will impact their shared ability to decarbonise, as well as to galvanise action and accelerate progress.
What you can expect from the session
In this virtual session, our team of communications and strategy experts will share insight on some of the ways communicating climate transition plans can help businesses connect the dots to their wider ecosystems to support stakeholder buy-in, drive collective action, and create new opportunities for narrative storytelling.
We’ll then be joined by a panel of cross-industry practitioners, including Andrea McCormick, Vodafone Group’s Global Environment Lead, and Jeremy Mathieu, ITV’s Head of Sustainability. We’ll explore answers to some of the most-asked questions on this topic, such as:
We’ve spent a huge amount of time and resource building our climate transition plan; how can we maximise its value beyond pure implementation?
How can we balance ongoing transparency with protection of our intellectual property?
How can we use our climate transition plan as a vehicle for advocacy in priority impact reduction areas?

This is the third webinar in our climate transition planning series. In February and March, we explored the importance of transition plans in the regulatory landscape, looking at how to approach them with confidence, as well as how to navigate identifying, analysing, and disclosing dependencies.
This virtual series follows a programme of roundtables, events, and direct conversations that took place with sustainability leaders and practitioners over the course of 2024. The insight shared during these sessions, including key learnings and candid reflections on the process of preparing for, creating, reporting and implementing climate transition plans, were summarised in our recent white paper: ‘Climate transition planning - what’s on the mind of sustainability practitioners?‘
The session will be led by:
