Net Zero
Supporting You on Your Journey to Net Zero
What is Net Zero?
Simply put, Net Zero refers to a state when the amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere by human activities is balanced by removing the same amount through human endeavor over a specified period.
To align with the IPCC’s 1.5⁰C climate ambition and limit the impact of climate change, the world needs to reduce net annual greenhouse emissions by at least 40 gigatonnes by mid-century.
Webinar Recording | Mitigating climate risk through internal carbon pricing
Anthesis’ goal is to support its clients to avoid, reduce, and remove at least 3 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide emissions by 2030.
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.
 |
AVOID Avoid future carbon emissions through evaluating the data, and designing and making decisions differently |
 |
REDUCE Reduce current greenhouse gas emissions by utilising efficiencies in energy, materials, and renewables |
 |
INVEST Invest in removing carbon elsewhere within your value chain |
 |
INNOVATE Innovate through collaboration in green finance, clean technology, big data and social movements |
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.

Our Net Zero Strategy: Supporting you on the Journey to Net Zero
From Transition to Transformation – Five Stages to Drive Sustainable Performance
As the world moves towards a Net Zero future, our approach unlocks the opportunities and reduces the risks associated with climate change, for businesses, cities, governments and other organisations.
Our Net Zero Strategy
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.
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.
Implement Value Chain Reductions
All organisations are part of a connected network who share the risks and opportunities associated with moving towards a net-zero world. Implementing the strategies that deliver sustainable performance will reach many parts of your network, both internally across business functions, as well as externally with supply chain and customers.
- ENERGY EFFICIENCY & ONSITE RENEWABLES
- RENEWABLE ENERGY PROCUREMENT (G0 & PPA)
- SUPPLY CHAIN ENGAGEMENT
Balance Your Carbon Budget
As your reduction plans are underway, tackle the unavoidable, residual emissions through investing in climate solutions that seek to remove carbon from the atmosphere and benefit societies and people.

Mitigating climate risk through internal carbon pricing
Join us to find out how Internal Carbon Pricing (ICP) can help businesses to mitigate transitional risk by assigning a cost to carbon which can embed change by supporting decision making, promoting low carbon innovation, and facilitating behaviour change.
Selected Net Zero Resources
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.
