NET-ZERO EMISSIONS

Are You Ready To Make A Difference? Reduce The Carbon Footprint Of Your Company Today

Can Your Business Transition to Net-Zero Emissions?

The journey to net-zero emissions goes beyond carbon tracking. It focuses on sustainability, ESG, and having a minimal negative impact on the global and local environment, community, society, and economy.

Transitioning To Net-Zero, Companies Must:

  • Integrate ESG principles and net-zero goals into the current business model
  • Implement environmental programming to reduce and replace emissions
  • Analyze and improve supply chains
  • Design and create products or services that aspire to do no harm and benefit all
  • Track carbon footprint data and provide transparent reporting to stakeholders
  • Determine and prepare for future climate risks
  • Strive to be a leader in climate action and provide education and training to employees and other stakeholders on how to become better stewards of the environment
  • Develop effective communications strategies for both internal and external stakeholders to increase net-zero goals

Businesses want to make the changes necessary to combat climate change but need help identifying and implementing the key actions required to get closer to net zero.

Why Net-Zero Emissions?

Investors and financial markets are increasingly demanding a compelling environmental, social, and governance (ESG) plan and a path to net-zero carbon emissions. The harsh reality of the acceleration of climate change has pushed these topics to the top of the agenda.

As expectations rise and global regulations expand, many organizations still don’t have a solution to the current climate math equation.

What Is Net-Zero?

Net-zero is having strategies, policies, and targets within an ESG framework to completely negate the amount of greenhouse gases produced associated with your business. This is achieved by reducing emissions and implementing methods of absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Here Are The Eight Steps We Take To Help Businesses Transition To Net-Zero Emissions

ASSESS

Step #1 Assessment

A Net-Zero Emissions Assessment is a way to help you set your Net-Zero priorities. Think of it as a tool to capture and visually represent the emissions issues that matter most to you and your stakeholders. The Net-Zero Emissions Assessment results help set your strategic priorities and are the backbone of your reporting.

What’s Included:

  • Net-Zero Emissions Assessment
  • Stakeholder Engagement and Report
  • Net-Zero Matrix
  • Net-Zero Assessment Report
  • Net-Zero Recommendations

Why it matters

A Net-Zero Emissions Assessment will help create clarity and focus by tying stakeholder needs and expectations to your business and reporting strategy. From there, you’ll be better positioned to understand where you can make the most significant impact.

Step #2 Business Model Analysis
Business Model Analysis

Once we know which net-zero topics to prioritize, we assess your company’s existing programs, policies, metrics, and engagements. Our Business Model Analysis scores your company on your current environmental initiatives, compares that score to your competitors, and identifies new emissions reduction opportunities that will grow your bottom line through a Net-Zero program.

What’s Included:

  • Current State Baseline Report
  • Gap Analysis In Accordance With SBTi
  • Competitors Analysis
  • Buyer Personas And Customer Segmentation
  • Employee Personas And net-zero data
  • Brand Reputation Analysis

Why It Matters

The Business Model Analysis will show the correlation between your business and environmental performance. It will help strategize your net-zero initiatives and how to communicate your commitments and progress across your organization and stakeholders.

Step #3 Facility Assessments and Opportunities Evaluation
To set clear net-zero goals and track your ROI, we need visibility into your emission trends. This is where we will determine “Hotspots,” which are the critical points that are easily identified and can be quickly rectified.

What’s included:

  • Hotspots Analysis
  • Net-Zero Facility Assessment
  • Carbon Footprint Assessment
  • Product Life-Cycle Analysis
  • Climate Risk Analysis

Why It Matters

By uncovering emissions gaps and challenges through data evaluation, we will gain an in-depth understanding of the current state of emission production. From there, we can efficiently determine what you want to achieve in your net-zero journey.

STRATEGY

Step #4 Net-Zero Road Map
A Net-Zero program won’t hold up unless it has a road map that clearly outlines your organization’s vision and purpose to meet your net-zero priorities. We develop this road map and identify clear and measurable outcomes that define what success looks like for you.

What’s included

  • Net-Zero Vision Statement
  • Budget Setting
  • Accountability Plan
  • Net-Zero Team Creation
  • Strategic Net-Zero Roadmap

Your Net-Zero Road Map will translate ambitious, science-based targets into more detailed implementation plans through critical measures. Our centralized management data software creates your custom Net-Zero Road Map to track critical metrics and performance efficiently.

MEASURE

Step #5 Implementation
To effectively implement a Net-Zero program requires the integration of programming into business practices and processes and continual measurement. We set regular communication and updates for internal key stakeholders to continuously evaluate goals, update data, and compare best practices.

REPORT

Step #6 Net-Zero Emissions Reporting
Achieving net-zero is more than compiling emissions data and removing additional carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; it’s also sharing your impact with your stakeholders in a transparent manner. Our net-zero reporting gives transparency and credibility to your emissions-reduction targets by aligning with Science-Based Targets and the Paris Agreement emission reductions forecasts.

Our emissions reporting tools provide flexible, configurable reports and dashboards that can be shared throughout your organization and report on your carbon-related emissions utilizing automated calculations for intensity factors.

Step #7 ROI Monitoring
Over 55% of companies are not measuring the ROI of environmental initiatives, and 88% of environmental initiatives fail long-term. We believe that ROI needs to be fully understood. Transitioning to net-zero emissions should not be different from any other business function where investment decisions are judged and tracked according to how they add value to the business.

What’s included

Operational ROI

This will provide a much more accurate measure of sustainability ROI and, in turn, will give you a more significant, sustained, and optimized investment leading to meaningful change.

COMMUNICATE

Step #8 Net-Zero Sustainability Communications
Net-zero sustainability communications is different from mainstream communications because it begins with a data-driven understanding of the audience and stakeholders about your net-zero target, impact and ESG values. We take data from your net-zero reporting and create communication strategies that resonate with internal and external audiences. Then we determine the right mix of communication channels and create content that will accelerate the delivery of your messages.
