Net Zero
Supporting You on Your Journey to Net Zero
What is Net Zero?
Net Zero is achieved when the amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere by human activities is balanced by removing the same amount through human endeavour over a specified period.
Supporting the transition to Net Zero
Cities and corporations around the globe are setting targets to radically reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in order to control climate change. These targets and commitments often align with a desire to achieve Net Zero emissions by a certain date in the future.
Achieving Net Zero requires coordinated action touching on many aspects of the organisation. What may seem daunting can be broken down into strategic and manageable pathways for transformation.
What do you need to do to reach Net Zero?
To reach the desired Net Zero goal, organisations and cities need to undertake a transformation to move from understanding the risks associated with their current and future footprint to seeking the investment and innovation needed to enact real change.
Net Zero Strategic Framework
Underpinning our approach, our strategic framework focuses on four key interconnecting strategies to turn those risks into investment plans and directions of travel.

From Transition to Transformation – Five Stages to Drive Sustainable Performance
Our Net Zero Approach
From Transition to Transformation – Five Stages to Drive Sustainable Performance
Understand your Climate Risk
Climate change risks are both physical and linked to the changes that societies and economy will be undergoing as we adapt to the realities of a warmer, net zero world. Our analytical approach helps to identify where these risks lie.
- CLIMATE SCREENING
- SCENARIO ANALYSIS (TCFD)
- FIND OUT MORE ABOUT CLIMATE RISK
Understand your Current & Future Footprint
Each decision an organisation takes will impact both current and future emissions. We start with measuring your existing footprint, then identify the likely source of future emissions within your growth plans.

Develop Net Zero Strategies
From avoiding future emissions to reducing current greenhouse gases through energy efficiency, renewable energy and circularity, making investments and using innovation to drive the organisation forward, our solutions experts help create the optimum blend of connected strategies based on your needs.
- SCIENCE BASED TARGET SETTING
- BRANDS & STANDARDS ASSESSMENT
- ENERGY EFFICIENCY OPTIONS & FEASIBILITY
- RENEWABLE ENERGY PROCUREMENT
- SUPPLY CHAIN STRATEGY
- CIRCULARITY STRATEGY
- CARBON REMOVALS & NEUTRALISATION

How to Net Zero
You’re committed to a Net Zero transition for your business, but how do you make it happen?
Driven by a call from investors to take action on climate change, many large companies are making commitments to transition to Net Zero. But to achieve this, they need a coordinated Net Zero roadmap that drives change throughout the organisation and its supply chain. There’s lots of talk on the subject of Net Zero planning but a lack of detailed understanding on how to define and embed the change needed; hence this is the focus.
Understanding Your Emissions
Understanding your emissions is central to being able to take any action towards a lower-carbon future. However for many, getting to grips with what your emissions are and how they can be reduced or avoided is a difficult task.
The Science Based Target Initiative provides guiding principles to standardise corporate net zero targets to align with global climate goals, which can be harnessed to better understand emissions reductions opportunities.
Other organisations such as the Carbon Disclosure Project and WRI are working towards alternative standardisations that can be utilised in managing your carbon impact.
