ESG & sustainability
Ambitious enough to be credible,feasible enough to be funded.
We set and validate science-based targets under the SBTi framework, and prepare companies for the Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2, mandatory from 2028, including its interim removal expectations and its concept of ongoing emissions responsibility.
01The work
Four pieces, designed to survive validation.
-
01
Target design across all three scopes
Near-term and net-zero targets, built on an inventory that can carry them.
-
02
Fundable modelling
Targets that a CFO can finance rather than merely aspire to.
-
03
Submission and validation
Managed through to validation, including the queries that come back.
-
04
V2 readiness built in
So the target you validate now still works after 2028.
02What changes in 2028
V2 is not a refresh. It changes what a target has to contain.
-
Now
Near-term targets
In-boundary reductions across all three scopes. Credits do not count toward these.
-
Before 2028
V2 readiness
Model the interim removal expectations and the ongoing-emissions concept into the pathway.
-
From 2028
Net-Zero Standard V2 mandatory
Interim removal targets that scale over time, and a reframing of ongoing emissions responsibility.
-
Long term
Net zero
Deep reduction first, with durable removals neutralising the residual.
Dates as set out in the current standard. We confirm the applicable requirements for your sector and base year before any submission.
03Why it matters
Credits do not count toward near-term reduction targets.
Those require in-boundary cuts. Credits support beyond-value-chain mitigation and, under V2, ongoing emissions responsibility — a distinction worth getting right before a target is announced.
05Questions
Answered plainly.
Not near-term reduction targets, which require in-boundary cuts. Credits support beyond-value-chain mitigation and, under V2, ongoing emissions responsibility.
Interim removal targets that scale over time and a reframing of ongoing emissions, mandatory from 2028.
A defensible inventory across all three scopes. A target set on weak Scope 3 data does not survive validation.
