ASFP joins sustainability-focused Climate Action for Associations

CAFA is a resource and network dedicated to ‘Net Zero’ and sustainability for the membership sector. CAFA provides the resources, guidance, solutions and peer-to-peer network that membership organisations need to show leadership, take accountability and implement action internally and with their members.

As a not-for-profit and official accelerator for the UN-backed Race to Zero campaign, the CAFA mission is to harness the reach and influence of the membership sector in order to speed up business and industry transition and meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.

Long road ahead

Nadine Saxon, operations director at the ASFP, commented: “We are proud to have joined CAFA and begin our journey towards supporting more sustainable practises, both in-house and for our members. The road towards ‘Net Zero’ is a long, but nonetheless crucial one in which we believe the passive fire industry plays a vital role. We encourage all of our members to explore the resources CAFA has to offer and any member organisations we work alongside to continue the progress they’ve made towards creating a more sustainable future.”       .

CAFA also works alongside the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), the provider of a globally recognised framework for companies to set and achieve ambitious greenhouse gas emission reduction targets in line with the latest climate science.

Companies submit targets for approval to the SBTi. These ‘science-based’ targets are essential for helping businesses to meet the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
