This week's biggest sustainability story is SBTi's Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0, the largest update to corporate target setting since 2021, and what it means if your organisation already has a target or is thinking about setting one.

I also cover why Microsoft and Google's AI data centre buildout is putting real pressure on their own climate commitments, why JBS and Starbucks have both stepped back from supply chain net zero goals this week, and the extreme heat that's already rewriting cricket and tennis fixtures across England.

Stay to the end for three mind-blowing facts, including a freezer temperature change that could remove 18 million tonnes of CO2e from the global food system every year, with zero impact on food safety.
