Normative also has a paid-for product that it sells to large businesses. Though the burning of fossil fuels is the chief driver of the climate crisis, the world is set to become even more dependent on energy sources such as oil and gas in the coming decades. That comes even as world leaders and CEOs repeatedly tout their commitment to the so-called"energy transition."
SMEs account for 95% of businesses globally, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. Many of them play interconnected roles in the creation of the products and services of large corporations."We need to act now," said Kristian Ronn, CEO and co-founder of Normative, in a statement."The climate will not wait for us to be ready."
