Amid a prolonged downturn of the global economy, the renewable energy industry has emerged as one of the rare sectors to buck the downward trend and continue growing. Thanks to policy support, the domestic renewable energy industry has started a second phase of rapid expansion. In the first half of 2023, China’s newly installed capacity of wind and solar power surpassed 100 million kilowatts, reaching a total of 860 million kilowatts, and the power generation from wind and solar amounted to 730 billion kilowatt-hours, making the wind and solar industry one of the most competitive sectors in China. Meanwhile, competition in the renewable energy industry has intensified. How can large companies seize opportunities and tackle new challenges in this new period?

China has been pursuing its dual carbon goals for over three years. Setting emission reduction targets is a crucial step in implementing a low-carbon pathway. In contrast to the earlier focus on carbon neutrality, net zero targets are considered the gold standard for deep decarbonization in industries and companies today. Currently, one-fifth of the world's largest 2,000 listed companies have committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. How should large companies embrace more comprehensive net zero emission strategies in the future?
