Carbon footprint measurements and decarbonisation strategies
One of the key performance indicators of companies is their carbon footprint. Responsible companies should strive to reduce it in order to contribute to the fight against the increase in the average global temperature. At Deloitte, we, therefore, help companies calculate and report their carbon footprint, as well as set up an effective decarbonisation strategy to achieve all their sustainability goals in line with ESRS Climate change standard, SBTi, and other relevant methodologies. A number of countries have signed up to the UN Climate Change Convention (Paris Agreement), which is the follow-up to the Kyoto Protocol. The countries participating in the agreement aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by half by 2030 and net zero by 2050. We can achieve this ambitious but necessary goal together if all sectors are engaged in reducing their environmental impacts as businesses and the public sector contribute to climate change. If clients have a concrete decarbonisation strategy, they increase regulatory resilience; improve the reputation of the brand and increase its overall competitive advantage.
Deloitte guides clients through the entire decarbonisation journey according to their needs
Our approach
Deloitte can help with each phase of the decarbonisation journey independently, it depends on the needs of the client and its current state.
Decarbonization path workshop / CARBON LAB
Through the Decarbonisation path workshop (CARBON LAB), Deloitte professionals who specialise in decarbonisation strategies will advise you in a tailored session on a plan to address your company’s complex challenges, such as:
Company or product carbon footprint calculation
Diagnose the current state |
We can help clientsfind the appropriate method and scope of company reporting, anddraftthe optimal data collection scope for calculating emissions Scope 1, 2 & 3. |
|---|---|
Calculate carbon footprint
|
We calculates the carbon footprint of a company or product and defines gaps in data collection that need to be improved for further carbon footprint calculations in the following years. |
Report emissions
|
We prepare a comprehensive report that places the carbon footprint in the context of the company. The GHG report is a suitable basis for reporting according to ESRD and for SBTi. |
Decarbonization strategy
Diagnose the current state |
We analyze the basic state based on the internal calculation of the carbon footprint or follow up on the calculation of the carbon footprint that we performed at the company. |
|---|---|
Finding opportunities to reduce carbon footprint
|
We Analyse and develop potential decarbonization pathways with the help of impact modeling. We propose scenarios and a process to reduce the carbon footprint of the main sources. The strategy is based on carbon footprint reduction, investment, and return. |
Commitment according to the Science-Based-Targets initiative (SBTi)
|
We set goals in line with the SBTi and follow with implementation roadmap. |
