Supporting Business Leaders on their Journey to Net Zero
Organisations worldwide are setting ambitious targets to significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprints in response to climate change. These decarbonisation goals are often aligned with the commitment to reach net zero emissions by a set future date.
Achieving net zero requires a coordinated, multi-faceted approach across all areas of a business. Anthesis helps leaders navigate the complexities of the carbon transition through tailored solutions and net zero consultancy services designed to meet specific needs and objectives. Leveraging the deep expertise of our decarbonisation consultants and a holistic approach, we accelerate business decarbonisation, enhance climate resilience, and unlock new commercial opportunities.
Our experts provide strategic guidance on energy and carbon transitions, offering regional insights and decision-making support to ensure sustainable business growth in both the short and long term.
We support business transformation to secure future relevance and resiliency within a net zero economy. We do this by working to decouple our clients’ operational and value-chain climate impacts from their ability to thrive commercially.
We use a client-centred approach that educates, engages, and enables key stakeholders across the business to develop ambitious science-aligned reduction targets, underpinned by robust custom strategies.
We develop in-depth strategies, net zero roadmaps, and action plans that facilitate implementation to achieve this decoupling of climate impacts and to activate business transformation.
We empower clients to be accountable for Scopes 1, 2, and 3 carbon emissions in their operations and supply chain, including supplier engagement, carbon insetting, and project accounting.
Our services include the calculation of GHG inventories and reductions through data collection, management, reporting, and verification, and process and governance review.
We know that digital solutions are key to any net zero transition and have developed Anthesis RouteZero, the first credible solution to digitally deliver a comprehensive Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction platform – from intelligent climate planning to optimal investment strategies and implementation activities.
We empower clients to build resilience to climate change by equipping businesses with the knowledge, skills, tools, and processes necessary to thrive amidst climate-related challenges.
From understanding emerging regulations to assessing physical and transition risks, our multidisciplinary approach ensures that clients are prepared to navigate the complexities of climate risk. We integrate climate risk expertise into senior leadership, enabling them to seamlessly incorporate climate considerations into core business processes and strategic objectives.
Using advanced analytics and strategic intelligence, we combine climate science with financial impact assessments and expert risk management to provide actionable insights. Leveraging our connections within the Anthesis community, we offer integrated support across all stages of our clients’ resilience-building journeys.
We accelerate companies toward climate action and decarbonisation goals by bridging ESG reporting frameworks and technical decarbonisation reports and identifying carbon footprint reduction strategies.
We measure and cost decarbonisation levers within your reporting framework to prioritise investment options to meet emission reduction goals.
We accompany cities, regions, and countries on their path to achieving net zero emissions from beginning to end: conducting carbon footprint assessments, analysing current emissions, developing strategies and action plans, and integrating sustainability into their planning, mobility, and management tools.
We assist in defining governance schemes that enable the involvement of all stakeholders, both public and private, in designing urban environments that are resilient and adapted to climate risks with a focus on the health and well-being of the population.
Our approach to investing in the carbon market focuses on enabling clients to take responsibility now for their residual emissions in parallel with a long-term and credible reduction pathway.
We follow the science in everything we do. We only support and develop carbon projects which create viable impact and credibly reduce and remove global emissions.

To support organisations at all stages of the supplier engagement journey, this guide provides an overview of the key elements needed to execute a successful supply chain engagement program on scope 3 emissions and activate suppliers to set SBTs.
The Anthesis Team’s deep expertise in corporate greenhouse gas management and goal-setting has been incredibly valuable to advancing our science-based climate actions.
Jaxon Love – Global Environmental Sustainability Lead, PayPal
While I have worked with a handful of leading consultancies on a variety of projects, the Anthesis team has honestly provided the most value to me and our business. They provide an outstanding level of service that is focused around problem solving, collaboration and building capacity, something few other consultants truly can deliver upon.
Emilio Tenuta – SVP for Corporate Sustainability, Ecolab
Anthesis provided a seamless service, building internal capacity and creating a robust decarbonisation plan which we are able to continuously develop to deliver our SBTs.
We selected the Anthesis team for their expertise and deep subject matter knowledge of GHG emissions and target setting as well as their ability to simplify the complexity of this work overall to help our leaders better understand the opportunity and the way forward to achieving these ambitious goals. The work Anthesis did to support us in the analyses, executive reviews and submission process was crucial towards establishing our commitments. It was a pleasure working with the team, and we are already thinking of what we can work on next!
We have worked with Anthesis to complete a national rollout installation of an energy-saving additive across the bank portfolio. The project has been an excellent success and professionally managed throughout, with significant energy savings achieved. We would have no hesitation in recommending Anthesis to other people and we are currently exploring the potential to now follow up with a worldwide rollout at other bank locations. We are also now completing a trial with Anthesis for our nationwide cooling systems.
Zeynep Karakaya – Regional Energy & Sustainability Manager, JLL
Anthesis were critical at helping us navigate the SBT process, we felt assured that we had experts in their field guiding us the whole way. Following the work Anthesis carried out, we were able to demonstrate how we could deliver against a 1.5 degree pathway and had our targets accredited in October 2021, making us the first UK DNO to set targets in line with a 1.5 degree trajectory.”
Shirley Robertson – Head of Environment, Consenting and Sustainability Strategic Policy, SSEN
The Group’s Net Zero Carbon Framework demonstrates our firm commitment to reducing our environmental impact. Since 2013, we have reduced our scope 1 and 2 emissions by 25%, however we recognised it was time for greater action in order to effectively tackle the significant challenge of climate change. Thanks to Anthesis’ support, we have been to develop a NZC framework which has set clear carbon reduction targets for 2030.
Tony Shaw – Managing Director at Henry Boot Construction
Sustainability is fundamental to everything we do at Sanctuary, and we’re committed to making a long-term positive difference for our residents and in our local communities.
We were impressed with the support and expertise that Anthesis provided and are delighted at the outcomes of the project. We’ve already reduced carbon emissions at the playground by more than five tonnes a year, which will have a significant impact, and we’ve seen real enthusiasm within the local community to learn more about climate change and how everyone can make a difference.
Janine Crockett – Head of Property Sustainability, Sanctuary
Anthesis has allowed us to see where we need to focus our efforts moving forward to achieve our carbon reduction targets. They are professional, knowledgeable, and extremely thorough in their investigations. Thank you Anthesis!
Hannah Johnston – Salix Building Safety Coordinator, Salix Homes
Working with Anthesis gave us the opportunity to focus on more than just the obvious, large scale energy opportunities and bring in a high level of technical expertise that we simply didn’t have in house. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Anthesis and look forward to continuing to work with them on bringing our buildings up to the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards.”
Anthesis have delivered a quality programme of 36 EPCs with costed options appraisal for achieving compliance with MEES as well as an attractive return on investment. They are really easy to work with and always deliver against project objectives. I look forward to continuing to work with them on improving the performance of our buildings.

We were pleased to work with the Anthesis team on this project and are very happy with the support they provided. The team’s expertise in SBTs in Private Equity, combined with their attentiveness to our needs, made us comfortable to commit to the SBTi. They also made the submission process to the SBTi very smooth by helping out with the application to fulfil all requirements.
Anthesis has been instrumental in helping us quantify our carbon footprint and understand where our biggest opportunities lie over the years. This long-term support has allowed us to reach carbon neutrality and maintain our status as the UK’s most ethical water brand.
Anthesis have helped us develop a whole life carbon model and carbon baseline for our ‘proof of concept’ station. Coupled with recommendations describing how to include carbon in future procurement processes we have now started our journey towards lower carbon and lower cost station upgrades.
