Planning
Plan your climate targets with the right instruments
From where your emissions come from to what you retire each year on the way to net zero: scoped, budgeted and aligned to the standards you report against.
The opportunity
Market-based climate instruments can do more for your net-zero strategy than you realise
The right instruments for each emission
Carbon removals, SAFc and EACs each address a different part of your footprint.
Volumes and budgets tied to your targets
Yearly retirement volumes and the budgets behind them are defined in relation to your climate commitments.
A plan that meets the standards
SBTi, the Oxford Principles, CSRD and national policies set the bar on durability and timing. Your plan needs to meet it.
Our expertise
From your emissions to a plan you can execute
01 | SCOPE
See what the market can do for your footprint
We map where your emissions come from to the instruments that can address them and quantify how far each one takes you.
02 | PLAN
Build your year-by-year retirement plan
What to retire each year to your net zero date, and what it costs — aligned to the relevant standards and audit frameworks
Strategic planning
Establishing climate claims
What you can credibly say and when — SBTi 'Recognised' and 'Leadership' status, VCMI Silver to Platinum tiers.
Defining a carbon budget
A multi-year spend envelope sized against volumes, price curves and internal carbon pricing.
Navigating policy updates
SBTi revisions, CSRD, CRCF and Article 6 tracked for you — with what each change means for your plan.
Scenario planning
Growth, supply and price scenarios stress-test the plan before you commit capital.
Procurement strategy
Spot versus offtake, timing and instrument mix, with a ready-to-execute plan
The retirement plan
A dynamic model of your retirement pathway through to net zero
The model works your footprint from both sides: in-value-chain instruments help decarbonise emissions at the source, and what remains is neutralised. You choose when retirements start and how fast they ramp to 100% — we model the scenarios with you and compare what each costs and what it lets you claim.
Ongoing emissions
Decarbonised in-value-chain (EACs, SAFc)
Carbon removal retirements
Swipe the chart sideways to see all years
2026–2034 · optional early action
Take responsibility for a share of ongoing emissions early — stronger claims today and early access to supply
2035 onwards · ramp to net zero
Neutralisation ramps from a small share of ongoing emissions to 100% at your net-zero year, as leading standards require
Claim strength
Recognised 2026
100% neutralisation
2045
Trade-off
Best balance of cost and claims
Fully parameterisable and built from your own emissions data and contracted volumes — designed to be adjusted together as your assumptions evolve.
Framework alignment
Audit-ready planning, built on the standards that matter
We translate framework language into procurement decisions — and document the reasoning behind each one for your reporting file.
Requirement
How planning addresses it
SBTi Net-Zero Standard
Residuals quantified by year, with a removals ramp reaching full coverage at your target date and durability shifting like-for-like.
Oxford Principles
Abatement first; a phased shift toward long-lived storage; offtakes structured to support market development.
GHG Protocol & ISO Net Zero
Instruments mapped to the right scopes and boundaries, structured for reporting and external assurance.
Article 6 & CORSIA
Authorisation status assessed for sovereign-linked units; eligible units identified for aviation obligations.
