Climate action plans that survive contact with reality.

A roadmap to net zero that's sequenced, costed and tied to the levers you actually control — energy, fleet, freight, procurement. Aligned to SBTi where it applies, honest about what isn't possible yet.

What is a climate action plan?

A climate action plan is the bridge between knowing your footprint and actually reducing it — a costed, time-phased set of interventions with owners, dependencies and a target you can defend.

A target on its own isn't a plan. We start from your verified baseline, model the realistic abatement available from each lever, and sequence the work by cost and impact so the cheap, high-impact moves happen first.

The result is a board-ready document: what you'll do, in what order, what it costs, what it saves, and where the honest limits are. Where it makes sense, we align it to a Science Based Target so the ambition is externally credible.

The levers we plan around.

Decarbonisation is a handful of levers pulled in the right order. We model each against cost and feasibility.

Near-term targets

5 – 10 years

Science-aligned reduction targets for the period a board can actually plan for.

Net zero

Long-term

A credible long-term trajectory, with residual emissions and removals treated honestly.

Energy & buildings

Lever 01

Efficiency, electrification, on-site generation and green-tariff procurement.

Fleet & freight

Lever 02

Vehicle transition, route and load optimisation, modal shift in logistics.

Procurement

Lever 03

Supplier engagement and low-carbon specification — usually the biggest prize.

Abatement curve

The model

A marginal abatement cost curve so spend goes where it cuts the most carbon.

What's included.

Every climate-action engagement delivers the following.

  • Review and gap-check of your existing carbon baseline
  • Marginal abatement cost curve across all material levers
  • Sequenced, costed action plan with owners and target dates
  • Near-term and net-zero targets, SBTi-aligned where applicable
  • Residual-emissions and removals position, set out honestly
  • Investment summary and payback for each major intervention
  • Board-ready pack and a one-page version for wider comms
  • Annual review framework to keep the plan live

Our process.

Plan to board runs over four phases. We move at the pace your business can absorb, not faster.

Baseline checkWeeks 1 – 2
Confirm the footprint is sound and complete enough to plan from.
ModelWeeks 2 – 8
Build the abatement curve and test interventions for cost and feasibility.
Sequence & costWeeks 8 – 12
Order the work, attach costs and owners, set the targets.
Board packWeeks 12 – 16
Write it up, pressure-test the numbers, present to the board.

Frequently asked.

Do we have to commit to SBTi?

No. SBTi gives external credibility and we'll align to it where you want that, but the plan stands on its own. We'll tell you honestly whether the validation effort is worth it for your size and sector.

Where do offsets fit?

Last, and sparingly. We plan for real reductions first and treat removals as a way to deal with genuinely residual emissions — not as a substitute for cutting them. We'll be candid about any plan that leans too hard on offsets.

How detailed does it get?

Detailed enough to act on next quarter, strategic enough to set a decade. Each near-term action has an owner, a cost and a date; the long-term path is directional.

Who owns delivery afterwards?

You do — but we set it up so that's realistic. Clear owners, a review rhythm, and optional check-ins mean the plan doesn't die in a drawer.

How often should it be reviewed?

At least annually, and whenever the business changes materially. We leave you a review framework to run it yourself.
