From Insight to Execution: What Climate Leadership Looks Like Now

In 2025, climate leadership is not measured by ambition alone. It is measured by how deeply emissions are embedded into decision-making across the enterprise. Companies are under growing pressure to connect insight with action and to show meaningful progress within planning cycles that matter.

We spoke with Onur, Our Co-Founder and the CEO of CarbonSifr, about how business leadership is evolving, and what it takes to lead on emissions in a way that is practical, credible, and built for performance.

Q: How do you see the role of business evolving in climate action?

Onur: Business has moved to the center of the climate conversation. No longer is it simply expected to support. It is now expected to lead. This expectation is coming from regulators, capital providers, and increasingly from within companies themselves.

Emissions are directly linked to cost, growth, and access to capital, making them a core business concern. Business leaders are now in a position to shape outcomes, not just respond to them.

Q: What are your peers and partners focused on?

Onur: Clarity. With rising complexity, leaders value knowing where to focus. They ask what matters, what moves emissions in practice, and what signals real progress. And they ask for easy ways to get.
We see more executives pushing for insight that drives action, not analysis that creates delay. The best-performing teams are simplifying their focus and aligning resources behind a few critical levers.

Q: How do you define progress at this stage?

Onur: Progress means execution. It means turning emissions data into a source of operational intelligence. It is no longer about publishing targets. It is about building processes that translate those targets into daily business decisions.

We are seeing companies embed emissions into capital planning, procurement strategy, and product development. This is what makes action repeatable and accountable.

Q: Where do you see the most momentum?

Onur: Momentum builds when emissions become decision-grade data. Once teams trust the information and see it in their day-to-day systems, everything starts to move faster.

Procurement teams begin to set real criteria. Finance teams start to evaluate emissions impact as part of ROI. Product teams make more confident trade-offs. That shift is what unlocks scale.

Q: What gives you confidence right now?

Onur: The mindset is shifting. More leadership teams are investing in real capability. They are not just building dashboards. They are building integrated systems that treat emissions like cost, risk, or revenue.

This is where climate ambition becomes business performance. When emissions are understood and managed as part of core operations, the change becomes durable.

Closing Thought
This World Environment Day, the path forward is not about new promises. It is about stronger systems. Leadership today means designing for clarity, acting with speed, and delivering with consistency.
