edenseven Supports Zero Carbon Forum to Meet Their Emissions Targets
By conducting a review of their Corporate Power Purchase Agreement
The Zero Carbon Forum (ZCF) is a non-profit organisation striving to empower members to reach sustainability targets with more speed, efficiency, and profit as a united effort. ZCF’s membership includes some of the largest brands and consumers of energy in the UK hospitality sector.
The ZCF has set ambitious targets to eliminate operational emissions by 2030 and across the full supply chain of members by 2040. A key component of the 2030 target can be achieved through the structuring of a long-term agreement which links ZCF members to specific ‘new to earth’ renewable assets. These agreements are known as Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (CPPAs).
ZCF engaged edenseven, one of the Cambridge Management Consulting group of companies, to review the commercial structure of a proposal being offered to them by a renewable supplier, due to edenseven’s extensive experience across the team in negotiating and delivering CPPAs.
