Uncovering your net zero strategy
In 2021, New Zealand passed two key pieces of legislation designed to decarbonise large public and private entities. Our solution, Accelerate2zero, empowers your organisation to reach net zero, and comply with the Climate-related Financial Disclosure mandate, and the Carbon Neutral Government Programme. Accelerate2zero facilitates the development of a dynamic emissions reduction strategy to shield your organisations carbon price exposure and enhance its operational efficiency.
Our solution provides your organisation with a range of outputs including emissions inventory and baseline, science-based target setting, cost benefit analysis of multiple abatement projects, strategy deployment and emissions budget management on your journey to net zero.
What does Accelerate2zero do?
Supports compliance
Our carbon reporting and planning solution is designed to support compliance with New Zealand’s Climate-related Financial Disclosure (CRD) mandate and the Carbon Neutral Government Programme (CNGP).
Establishes your organisation's baseline
For organisations at any stage of their sustainability journey, the solution provides a reporting framework aligned to local emission factors. Users can enter data into the solution or it can pull data from a variety of sources to establish the scope of emissions. A bespoke dashboard breaks down emission sources by scope and category and can be presented by business unit, office, country or region.
Helps to set targets
Accelerate2zero enables you to set science-based targets either to net zero or absolute zero. This approach helps quantify emissions targets year by year.
Identifies options
Assess reduction strategies and view marginal abatement cost curves on pre-built dashboards for each of your options. Accelerate2zero can also undertake a cost-benefit analysis, helping to identify options that achieve predefined targets in the most cost and emissions-efficient manner.
Deploys and tracks progress
Having set an emissions abatement strategy, it's time to track progress against the emissions budget and baseline year, either monthly, quarterly, or annually. Actively manage the programme through a tailored dashboard, with the option to alter or redistribute targets across the organisation and when needed, re-forecast strategies appropriately.
The solution enables you to manage your emissions budget at a granular level. By activity (for example flights taken) in any given business unit, office, region or country or other relevant dimensions.
