Posted By: Tom Hopcroft Blog/News,

Tom Hopcroft, president and CEO of the Net Zero Institute, is an ecosystem catalyst with a track record of building communities, fostering inclusive innovation and driving economic development. He is passionate about sustainability and committed to driving collaborations that accelerate  the transition to a net zero future.

Forward-thinking corporate directors, executives, and sustainability leaders are converging under the banner of the Net Zero Institute to assess the state of corporate sustainability, benchmark progress with peers, share best practices and lessons learned, and collectively work to accelerate corporate decarbonization.

Learning & Strategic Networking

In the year ahead, the Net Zero Institute will host a series of monthly learning and strategic networking forums, including a special session on insights from COP28 on February 1st. These forums, a mix of both in-person and virtual sessions, are purpose-built for the exchange of insights, ideas, and the cultivation of industry connections. Check our calendar and reserve your seat at an upcoming session.

Driving Positive Change

In addition to monthly sessions, we’re driving positive change through a leadership and development initiative tailored to equip leaders at various levels of the organization with the tools needed to make a meaningful impact within their organizations. The three-pronged initiative includes a sustainability leader bootcamp in the first half of 2024, a corporate director bootcamp in the latter half, and an executive management bootcamp set for 2025.


These programs are designed to operate in synergy, enabling leaders to uncover business advantages and proven strategies for driving performance while safeguarding their future. Melding technical expertise with essential soft skills, each bootcamp is grounded in thorough stakeholder interviews, offering practical insights and real-life business case examples that illuminate the current strategies adopted by industry leaders.

Support our Mission

We invite companies on this journey to support the mission of the Net Zero Institute through membership and to join us as we help accelerate the transiton toward a more sustainable future.
