Set Climate Targets That Mean Business
Setting Targets for Net Zero and Beyond
In today's market, a vague climate pledge is a liability. A credible, science-aligned target is a competitive advantage. We provide the expert guidance to build a defensible, ambitious, and achievable roadmap for your company's future.
The Challenge: Navigating the Target-Setting Minefield
Setting a carbon reduction target is one of the most important commitments a business can make. But it's a complex process fraught with risk. Stakeholders are demanding rigour. Regulators are increasing scrutiny. And the reputational damage of setting a target that isn't credible or achievable is immense. How do you build a plan that is both ambitious and realistic?
Our Solution: The Net Zero Standard - A Blueprint for Credible Action
While we are experts in supporting submissions to frameworks like the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), our core philosophy is that a target is useless without a plan.
That's why we guide our clients through our proprietary Carbon Footprint Net Zero Standard. It is the UK's most practical implementation framework, providing a clear, step-by-step pathway that moves you from your initial baseline to a verifiable Net Zero goal. It's not just about setting a target; it's about building the complete strategy to hit it.
Our Target Setting Service: A Proven, Three-Step Process
Our expert consultants work with your team to navigate every stage of the process, ensuring your targets are robust, defensible, and aligned with your commercial goals.
1. Baseline & Feasibility Analysis
We start by conducting a deep dive into your emissions data to establish a rock-solid, verifiable baseline. We then analyse the feasibility of different reduction pathways for your specific industry and operations.
2. Target Modelling & Submission
Using your baseline, we model a range of ambitious yet achievable short and long-term targets that align with a 1.5°C future. We manage the entire submission process for frameworks like the SBTi on your behalf.
3. Reduction Roadmap Development
This is the most crucial step. We work with your team to build a practical and phased roadmap of reduction initiatives that will ensure you actually achieve the targets you've set.
