Why Your Business Needs a Net Zero Strategy Now

The transition to net zero is no longer optional. With the UK legally committed to net zero by 2050, regulatory pressure, investor expectations, and customer demands are accelerating the need for credible climate action.

Businesses without a clear decarbonisation pathway face increasing risks: loss of contracts, restricted access to finance, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties. Those leading the transition are gaining competitive advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between climate positive and net zero?

+
Carbon neutral means balancing emissions with offsets, often without requiring actual reductions. Net zero is more ambitious: it requires reducing emissions as much as possible (typically 90%+) before using carbon removal for residual emissions. Net zero also typically requires science-based targets aligned with limiting warming to 1.5°C.

Do we need SBTi validation for our targets?

+
SBTi validation is optional but increasingly valued by investors, customers, and regulators. It provides third-party verification that your targets are genuinely aligned with climate science. We can develop targets following SBTi methodology without formal validation, or support you through the full validation process.

How long does it take to develop a net zero strategy?

+
A typical engagement takes 1-4 weeks from kick-off to final strategy document, depending on your organisation's complexity and data readiness. We offer accelerated timelines for urgent contract deadlines. We'll agree a timeline during our initial consultation.

What data do we need to provide?

+
We'll need energy bills, fuel records, travel data, procurement spend, and other operational data. Don't worry if your data isn't perfect – we're experienced at working with available information and using appropriate estimation methods where needed. We'll provide a detailed data request list after our initial meeting.

How much does net zero strategy development cost?

+
Costs vary based on organisation size, complexity, and scope requirements. We offer packages starting from £3,000 for SMEs up to comprehensive enterprise programmes. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your specific needs.
