Corporate climate action continues to show remarkable resilience and measurable impact, according to DitchCarbon’s new analysis, “Scaling the Impact: RTZ Companies’ Journey in Corporate Climate Action,”
The platform “that turns supplier data into actionable, business aligned reduction plans” examined 3,212 corporate members of the Race to Zero (RTZ) campaign over the two-year period from 2022 to 2024. Collectively, these companies reduced by 51.1 million metric tonnes of CO₂ during this time.
That’s the same as the emissions stored in over 500,000 fuel trucks, enough to form a continuous line between New York and Los Angeles.
The DitchCarbon report reveals that meaningful decarboniation is firmly underway, even amid supply chain disruptions and uneven regulatory developments. In 2024, 16.8% of RTZ companies achieved absolute emissions reductions, maintaining steady progress consistent with previous years.
According to DitchCarbon, Apple achieved a 36% reduction in total upstream emissions from 2022–2024 while maintaining revenues. Over 100 suppliers participated in its Supplier Energy Efficiency Program, saving 2 billion kWh of electricity and avoiding 1.7 million tonnes CO₂e.
By the way, Race to Zero is a global campaign rallying non-State actors – including companies, cities, regions, financial, educational, and healthcare institutions – to take rigorous and immediate action to halve global emissions by 2030.
