Define a pathway to Net Zero and monitor your progress

Reducing the environmental impact of your organisation or its operations requires an actionable strategy and regular monitoring and evaluation.

By identifying opportunities to reduce scopes 1, 2 and 3 emissions in the short, medium and long term, our decarbonisation methodology can help you define a science-based pathway to net zero.

You can then monitor your progress and if necessary reassess your actions.

Our capabilities

  • Comprehensive decarbonisation strategy to 2050

    (covering Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions)

  • Data dashboard

    monitor progress and ensure actions are on track

     

  • Compliance with regulations and standards

    (e.g., SBTi, CRREM, ISO, GHG Protocol)

Use Case

The need: a climate / carbon pathway for real estate assets, aligned with the Corporate ambitions
The client: the real estate function of a national bank


  • Diagnosis

    What are the needs?

    • Identify timeline, requirements, and objectives of portfolio decarbonisation
  • Benchmarking

    Where are we at? Are we meeting / exceeding requirements

    • Assess the carbon footprint of assets to identify major carbon emissions items, considering future acquisitions and sell-out, energy consumption, planned works, HR hypotheses, climate risks.
    • Identify regulatory constraints and most relevant frameworks for compliance and external recognition, taking into account internal goals and KPIs
  • Evaluation

    What are our options and how do they perform?

    • Define one or several pathways, and simulate the impact of levers on embodied carbon (works and fixed assets) and emitted carbon (energy)
  • Business case development

    How will we pay for this?

    • Recommend best pathway, assessing the carbon budget allowed (CAPEX and OPEX) and return on investment of the actions to undertake (fabric, energy systems, etc.)
  • Implementation

    How will we roll this out?

    • Monitor the action plans and results and engage stakeholders (HR, Finance, CSR, ...)
The need: a decarbonisation strategy covering scopes 1, 2 and 3, with a monitoring dashboard, implementation of the ISO 14064 standard and definition of an ambition based on the SBTi  
The client: a General Management and its CSR Department

  • Evaluation

    How to achieve the goal?  

    • Establish the decarbonisation roadmap in line with the ambition  
    • Analyse the structure of the emissions and the good sectoral practices to define an operational Action Plan  
    • Analyse the options of carbon contribution as a complement  
    • Carry out a technological and economic-regulatory analysis for each project identified in the Action Plan
  • Implementation of the Action Plan

    How can we finance and implement our decarbonisation action plan? 

    • Leading and coordinating the deliver of the action plan  
    • Support organisational change management  
  • FOLLOW-UP AND PERFORMANCE

    How can I manage my decarbonisation process?  

    • Implementing processes and tools to follow up the impact and efficiency of the Strategy and actions, and the integration of the indicators in the Corporate reporting processes  
    • Communicate the goals of Low Carbon Strategy to suppliers, customers, investors, employees and institutions 
The need: accelerate the understanding and integration of carbon by the Sales team to sell carbon-related offers, differentiating from the competition. 
The client: a Sales and Marketing department 

 

  • DIAGNOSIS

    What are the needs?  

    • What is the state of the art on the market for carbon commitments, regarding customer’s services competitive landscape 
    • What is the current market for carbon commitments, considering customer services’ competitive landscape?
  • BENCHMARKING

    Where are we at? What is feasible internally? 

    • Regulation and initiatives for compliance and / or external recognition 
    • Alignment with other internal working groups to confirm the feasibility of the commitments (considering purchasing, waste, etc.) 
  • DEVELOPMENT OF A DEDICATED OFFER

    What are the commitments we can take and how do we differentiate from competitors? 

    • Identify the levers on the 3 scopes, linked with the main items of the carbon footprint of the customer's services
    • Discriminate where there can be carbon quantification to allow for result-driven engagements 
    • Develop a matrix of result-driven and means-driven engagements on scope 1, 2, and 3, framing the associated risks (if any) to formalise prerequisites and priority targets 
    • Reflect on the incentive mechanism, with bonus and malus 
  • TESTS AND PROOF-OF-CONCEPT

    How will customers react to this offer, and how strong is their interest? 

    • Assess the customer traction and interest, on several segments (industry, tertiary, public) 
  • IMPLEMENTATION

    How will we roll this out? 

    • Develop carbon quantification methodology to state the reference from the start of the contract 
    • Roll-out the offer across the Sales team, and set up the necessary monitoring with associated departments (Legal, Purchasing...)
