Climate action and Net Zero transition planning

With growing pledges on climate action, we support corporate clients, public sector organisations, financial services, cities and regions to put ambitious and achievable carbon reduction plans in place, set evidence-based targets and transition to Net Zero.

Overview   

Net Zero is a global imperative. To reach Net Zero and limit global warming, governments, public sector bodies, businesses, financial services, regions and cities must focus on delivering ambitious Net Zero transition plans. We can help you move forward confidently with delivering on those goals – and support you to drive tangible results.  

How we can help  

Businesses

We work with businesses through each step of their Net Zero journey. This includes developing insight from measurement and analysis; setting strategy to achieve your ambition and address key risks and opportunities; enable your transition to Net Zero; and support effective delivery and communication of your impact.  

 

 

 

Our approach and services  

 

Insight  

Our expertise and analytical approach will help you understand and measure carbon impacts and drivers, assess key risks and opportunities, and support ambition-setting decisions.  

 

Strategy 

We work with companies to develop strategies and plans addressing the risks, opportunities, and obligations of a Net Zero transition. This includes defining prioritised carbon reduction pathways for your own operations as well as value chain, and assessing actions that you can take within your business model and wider system. Our approach is aligned with the requirements and guidance of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and Taskforce for Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD), as well as other disclosure standards and bodies. 

 

Transition 

We support companies put strategies into action to accelerate their Net Zero transition journey. We can help you develop transition plans and roadmaps to engage leadership and mobilise action across your business. Our sustainable finance expertise will help you assess and access options to finance the investment needed to deliver decarbonisation as well as climate-aligned commercial opportunities. The Net Zero transition requires actions across industry and value chains, and our collaboration models and convening capabilities support organisations drive change more widely.  

 

Impact 

We help companies generate and communicate impact, while ensuring alignment with international reporting and disclosure requirements. Our assurance services enable you to credibly communicate your organisation’s sustainability performance to customers, stakeholders and investors.
