Understanding the scale of the challenge
We help our clients understand the level of carbon reduction required to play their part in tackling the climate crisis. We use internationally recognised standards, such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), to create robust net-zero targets that stand up to stakeholder scrutiny. Where applicable, we will work with you to create sector-specific targets such as Forest Land and Agriculture (FLAG) targets for the food and farming sectors and temperature alignment targets for financed Institutions.
There are three mandatory requirements of the net-zero standard
Required
Set near and long-term targets
Required
Focus on rapid, deep emission cuts
Required
No net-zero claims until long term targets are met
Recommended
Go beyond the value chain
