Science Club Cohort
Science Club enables a broad range of companies to achieve carbon emissions reductions by removing barriers through accessible, credible, and technical insights. Participants work together to leverage research, science, innovation and technical expertise to create or support outputs that benefit the Pledge community and beyond.
What
Science Club is building a trusted community of practice that accelerates innovation, mutual learning, and implementation across industries by:
- Facilitating cross-sector collaboration to develop practical, high-impact solutions for carbon emissions reduction.
- Equipping teams (especially in under-resourced or SME contexts) with accessible, actionable tools.
- Translating complex sustainability data and insights into formats that drive real-world decision-making and change.
Who
Individuals who join Science Club have deep technical knowledge of their company’s broader decarbonization challenges, thorough understanding of greenhouse gas accounting and measurement, and are actively developing data-driven solutions to lower carbon emissions.
Supply Chain Cohort
The objective of the Supply Chain cohort is to pilot projects that contribute to tangible emissions reduction across value chains. This group focuses on surfacing specific areas within this complex topic where collaboration can deliver scalable approaches and solutions to accelerate collective progress towards net-zero for the Pledge’s signatories and beyond.
What
Co-create actionable decarbonization opportunities within the supply chain with other signatories of The Climate Pledge. These may include: identifying key emissions hotspots, streamlining data collection, improving measurement, engaging suppliers, setting targets, embedding sustainability into procurement, and amplifying financial incentives. This cohort will work on focused, collaborative projects that emerge from regular group conversations.
Who
Signatories who are working to reduce emissions across their supply chain and wish to do so in collaboration with other signatories.
SME Cohort
Recognising that almost 50% of Pledge signatories are Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs), this cohort is designed to support resource-constrained SMEs on their journey to net-zero by 2040. The SME Cohort will provide tailored support, including surfacing relevant resources and offering sessions to address specific questions for businesses at different levels of maturity on their decarbonization journey. For more mature SMEs, the cohort will facilitate collaboration on specific areas, work on implementing innovative actions to reach net-zero, and aim to elevate SME leadership.
What
This cohort will provide a wide range of activities throughout the year and leverage The Climate Pledges partnership with the SME Climate Hub to provide support and resources. Recognizing the global nature of our community, as well as the time and resource constraints of SMEs, the majority of this cohort’s activities will be convened virtually.
Who
Representatives from SMEs signatories. Participants will vary in their maturity levels regarding net-zero goals, ranging from those just starting their decarbonization efforts to leading SMEs actively implementing innovative solutions. The cohort is designed for SMEs seeking to overcome resource constraints, gain practical support, and collaborate with peers to accelerate their progress towards net-zero by 2040.
Building Decarbonization Cohort
The objective of the Building Decarbonization cohort is to accelerate building sector decarbonization through collaborative projects between signatories that drive market transformation in building materials, operations, and processes. Globally, 40% of carbon emissions are attributable to the building sector emissions—11-12% from embodied carbon (Scope 3) and 28-29% from operations.
What
Drive joint action projects that seek to address three critical barriers to building decarbonization:
- Scale barrier: Proven solutions face adoption challenges due to cost, risk perception, and skills gaps.
- Innovation barrier: New technologies struggle to reach commercialization due to industry fragmentation.
- Process barrier: Supply chain complexity blocks systematic change.
Who
Technical building experts within signatory companies who want to work alongside other experts on actionable projects that accelerate building sector decarbonization.
