NEW YORK, Sept. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ENGIE Impact, a leader in sustainability transformation solutions, is returning to Climate Week NYC 2023, taking place September 17-24. ENGIE Impact's CEO Mathias Lelievre will headline as other senior executives collaborate with climate leaders from around the world to accelerate organizational transformation in response to climate change.

During Climate Week, ENGIE's presence and engagement will span across all aspects:

• Diego Ibarra, Executive Managing Director, Sustainability Solutions, ENGIE Impact Americas, will host a closed-door executive roundtable discussion on Monday, September 18 from 7:30 a.m. - 9a.m. ET.  Joining Ibarra as co-host is Abby Davidson, ENGIE Impact's ESG and Sustainability Leader.
• Mathias Lelievre, CEO of ENGIE Impact, will join a panel on The Hub Live for a live discussion Monday, September 18 from 9:45 a.m. - 10:15 a.m. ET exploring strategies for sustainable collaborative initiatives between business and government and overcoming climate communication challenges.
• ENGIE Impact will preview the forthcoming 2024 Net Zero Report, the company's latest proprietary research.

"Climate Week NYC serves as a platform for global leaders to come together and cooperate in addressing humanity's most pressing issue. This common goal perfectly aligns with ENGIE Impact's mission of expediting the transition to a sustainable future for our clients. We are enthusiastic about contributing our insights and expertise to accelerate organizational and societal transformation in pursuit of a Net Zero future," said Lelievre.

Over the last six years, ENGIE Impact has helped its clients collectively save nearly $1 billion through reduced energy usage. At the same time, they reduced GHG emissions equivalent to that of nearly 900,000 passenger vehicles operated for a year.

As part of the week-long activities, Lelievre will be one of the keynote speakers. He will speak about corporate decarbonization, emphasizing that incremental changes can lead to big successes and cautioning against the inactivity that can result when organizations attempt to effect change all at once.

Diego Ibarra, Executive Managing Director, ENGIE Impact Americas, will host an executive roundtable discussion on Monday, September 18 from 7:30 a.m. – 9 a.m. ET to discuss the "42x7 Challenge," to reduce emissions by 42 percent by 2030. Supporting discussions will address tackling structural barriers to decarbonization, strategy implementation, implementing beyond energy efficiency and electrification, and maintaining focus on value creation.

The discussions will be supported by primary research from ENGIE Impact as part of its forthcoming 2024 Net Zero Report. This report, now in its fourth year, surveys more than 500 corporate decarbonization decision-makers around the world and across sectors — covering a wide range of topics around strategy, execution, data analysis, digital integration, financing, and more — and  offers year-over-year insights into progress achieved and barriers holding back corporate climate action.

Throughout the week, ENGIE Impact delegates will speak to the most important and timely decarbonization topics, including new technology, net zero fuels, corporate decarbonization, regulating carbon emissions and a wide variety of topics relating to sustainability transformation that must happen now to save our world from the worst effects of climate change.

Run by the international non-profit Climate Group, in partnership with the United Nations and the City of New York, Climate Week NYC is an annual multi-day event attracting global awareness and bringing in the most influential leaders in climate action from business, government and the climate community. With Climate Week's "We can. We Will," theme this year, they will host over 500 events in New York and around the world.
