Episode 1: Collaborating with Competition: Shaping a New Framework for Net-Zero Success

The sustainability challenges of today are too big for any individual, or company, to solve alone. By pooling resources, knowledge, people power and strategies, businesses can lead the way in moving the needle towards a carbon neutral future.

Luis Gomez (Partner, Baker McKenzie) is joined by Luke Disney, SVP Sustainability & Climate at Rabobank, and Christiana Figueres, the U.N.’s former climate chief and now founding partner of Global Optimism. They explore why collaborating with competitors — in line with competition laws — is critical for net-zero success across the board and examine the challenges that businesses face when it comes to balancing net-zero collaboration with healthy business competition and successful growth strategies.
