Net-Zero Strategy
A long-term strategy to cut value-chain emissions ~90% and neutralise the rest with removals.
Net-Zero Strategy, without the jargon
A net-zero strategy aligns a company with the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard: deep decarbonisation of roughly 90% of Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by a target year, with only residual emissions neutralised through permanent carbon removals. We translate that into near-term and long-term milestones, abatement levers and a governance model — distinct from offset-based neutrality.
Why companies act on this
- Net-zero under the SBTi standard requires deep cuts, not offsetting business-as-usual
- It sets both a near-term and a long-term science-based trajectory
- Removals, not avoidance credits, are what neutralise the final residual emissions
A clear, auditable process
- 01Trajectory & boundary
Define the net-zero year, coverage and the ~90% reduction pathway.
- 02Abatement levers
Map the efficiency, electrification, renewables and value-chain levers to get there.
- 03Governance & milestones
Set near-term milestones, accountability and a permanent-removal plan for residuals.
What separates net-zero from neutrality
The SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard requires deep decarbonisation across all scopes, with only the small residual neutralised by permanent removals — not offsets against business-as-usual.
Net-zero cuts around 90% of emissions — permanent removals neutralise only the residual.
