Science-based Target Development
Science-based targets (SBTs) provide a clearly defined pathway to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, they detail how much and how quickly a business can reduce its emissions. Setting SBTs facilitates a strategic long-term view to carbon reduction and can lead to innovative developments. It can lead to innovative developments, achieve cost-efficiencies, demonstrate credibility and enhance relationships with key stakeholders.

Tackling Scope 3 emissions
To become truly carbon neutral, Scope 3 emissions, which are indirect emissions released upstream and downstream in your value chain, need to be prioritised alongside Scope 1 and 2. But, including these emissions does come with some challenges and you may not have the in-house expertise to identify your scope 3 hotspots or which elements of your supply chain are the most carbon intensive.
Our experts can identify and measure your scope 3 emissions and advise on how to reduce them.
Corporate, social reporting and management (CSR)
How a company discloses its sustainability matters and reports its actions and results is vital. Sharing details of your commitments and actions in a transparent and robust way leads to the building of trust, improvedÌýEnvironmental, Social and GovernanceÌýratings and consumer confidence, whereas poor or non-existent reporting can have negative effects and damage the brand.Ìý

Nature-based solutions and offsetting
A successful sustainability strategy is tailored to your business, based on your individual circumstances and goals. Following the GHG Hierarchy, we help you to identify where emissions can be eliminated, avoided, reduced, or substituted for more energy efficient solutions. When all other options have been considered, we can advise on offsetting to mitigate against unavoidable emissions and this is where nature-based solutions come to the fore.Ìý
