We had already fully divested from fossil fuels in May 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of COP26 later this month, where world leaders will discuss attempts to tackle climate change, we have reaffirmed our commitment to addressing the global emergency by announcing a comprehensive action plan to reduce our carbon footprint to net zero by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Our ambitions, however, go far beyond Net Zero. From educating change agents who will be the sustainability leaders of the future to collaborating on research that will inform and influence climate change action and policy, we\u2019re focusing on all elements of the triple bottom line of society, environment and economy.
