A Climate Transition Plan provides your organization with feasible steps for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and moving toward a low-carbon, sustainable economy. It outlines emission reduction levers and concrete action points to help your organization reach its science-based emission reduction targets. The effectiveness of these measures is monitored through your organization’s greenhouse gas inventory.
Our Approach to a Climate Transition Plan
- Greenhouse Gas Inventory
We begin by conducting a thorough greenhouse gas inventory that addresses all relevant direct and indirect emissions, not just those directly controlled by your organization. This establishes a clear baseline and key performance indicator (KPI) for your climate goals. - Target Setting
Next, we help you set both near-term and long-term science-based targets aligned with the latest climate science. This step defines the emission levels your organization should aim for and guides the scale of measures needed in the following phases. - Identifying Reduction Levers
We work with you to identify and prioritize emission reduction levers by analyzing factors such as energy and material efficiency, as well as the origins of purchased energy and fuels. Each measure is assessed for effectiveness, time horizon, level of control, and external factors. Shortlisted levers are moved forward for detailed feasibility assessment. - Feasibility Assessment
We systematically assess the emission reduction potential of each lever and estimate their impact on capital (CapEx) and operational expenditures (OpEx). This cost-benefit analysis ensures your climate ambitions translate into actionable, funded, and credible plans. - Action Plan and Commitment
Finally, we help you establish the governance structures, processes, and responsibilities needed for effective oversight, decision-making, and accountability. Our goal is to ensure your transition plan is practical, robust, and ready for implementation, so you can commit to it with confidence.
What are the benefits of preparing a climate transition plan?
- A strong climate transition plan helps you meet stakeholders’ expectations, manage risks, and discover new opportunities for innovation and growth
- By setting science-based targets and being transparent about your progress, you build trust and set your organization up for long-term success
- Our collaborative approach ensures your climate transition plan is realistic and achievable, with clear milestones, timelines, and practical actions according to your needs.
