Net zero: Do corporate pledges make any difference?

BBC World Service - Business Daily, Net zero: Do corporate pledges make any difference?

More and more companies are making pledges to be carbon neutral ahead of COP 26.

But do these pledges actually make any difference in the flight against climate change? We here both sides of the argument with climate futurist Alex Steffen based in California, and Simon Glynn, the co-lead on Climate and Sustainability, at the UK management consultants, Oliver Wyman.
