About us

We help businesses deliver low carbon solutions

Fast Forward Zero was founded in 2022 by Jerome Lucaes, who brings more than two decades of delivering sustainable solutions for some of the world’s largest metals & mining companies.

Whilst the climate crisis is top of the business agenda, routes to low carbon models remain complex, overwhelming, conflicting, and business specific.

At Fast Forward Zero we understand these complexities and draw on decades of experience to create relevant solutions for businesses, investors and associations.

We want to empower business transformations with real climate impact

Mission

Act and inspire others for a low carbon and fair society.

How do we work?

Every scenario is different, with businesses and investors each facing a unique set of challenges, demands and objectives.

For some organisations, aspirations to decarbonise may be limited by a lack of alignment, internally and externally. For others, supply chain isolation may be inhibiting circularity. Whatever the scenario, we take time to fully evaluate your unique circumstances and aspirations.

We work with the support of a network of well-established experts and, institutions.

Upon recognition of your goals and barriers, we develop relevant and applicable solutions that inspire sustainable transformations to leverage your unique competitive advantages.

We anchor our practice through long-term thinking, combined with actionable roadmaps and short-term deliverables.

Make a positive step toward NET ZERO carbon and be more competitive.
