Net Zero Consultancy

Net zero, from commitment to delivery

Announcing a target is the easy part. This is the full delivery engagement: baseline, targets, the reduction programme itself, and a defensible position on whatever residual remains.

  • End-to-end delivery
  • Costed roadmap
  • Verified residual treatment

Scope

The whole path, not just the plan

We stay involved through implementation, because the gap between a good roadmap and delivered reductions is where most programmes quietly fail.

  • Audited baseline across Scope 1, 2 and material Scope 3
  • Science-aligned near-term and net zero targets
  • Reduction programme management with tracked milestones
  • Procurement and supplier decarbonization workstreams
  • Renewable energy strategy including PPAs and I-RECs
  • Residual emissions treatment with high-integrity removals

Workstreams

Where reductions actually come from

  • Energy efficiency

    The cheapest tonnes first — process optimisation, recovery and controls, identified through site assessment.

  • Electrification

    Fuel switching sequenced against asset replacement cycles and grid decarbonization forecasts.

  • Renewable procurement

    On-site generation, PPAs and certificates, structured to genuinely reduce reported emissions.

  • Supply chain

    Supplier engagement, procurement criteria and contractual levers to move Scope 3.

  • Logistics & fleet

    Modal shift, route optimisation and fleet transition planning with costed timelines.

  • Residual removals

    High-integrity removal sourcing for the emissions that genuinely cannot be abated.

Programme

How delivery is run

  1. 01

    Baseline & target

    Establish audited numbers and set targets you can defend publicly.

  2. 02

    Roadmap

    Cost every lever, sequence by payback and capital cycle, secure budget.

  3. 03

    Deliver

    Run the programme with tracked milestones and quarterly variance reporting.

  4. 04

    Verify

    Independently verify reductions and treat the residual transparently.

Why sequencing matters

Efficiency first, offsets last

Programmes that lead with procurement and offsetting spend more and reduce less. This is the order that works.

Questions

Delivery questions

  • How long does a net zero programme take?

    The baseline and roadmap phase typically runs three to six months. Delivery runs for years — that is the nature of capital replacement cycles. We structure engagements in annual phases with clear milestones rather than promising an unrealistic timeline.

  • Can we get to net zero without offsets?

    For most organisations, not entirely, and any adviser claiming otherwise is overselling. The goal is to reduce as far as technically and commercially feasible, then treat a genuinely small residual with high-integrity removals.

  • Who owns delivery internally?

    It has to be operations and procurement, with sustainability providing measurement and challenge. Programmes that sit entirely within a sustainability team without operational ownership rarely deliver their roadmap.
