Define targets, prioritise measures, demonstrate impact.
Climate strategies today are more than a reporting obligation. They are a genuine business value driver and can become a decisive competitive advantage. Studies show that science-based climate targets lead to positive economic, strategic and reputational effects for the vast majority of organisations. Climate strategies that are implemented consistently reduce operating costs through energy and material efficiency, strengthen market position and increase attractiveness to investors.
Many organisations already track their emissions, yet face the challenge of deriving realistic, science-based reduction targets and concrete measures from this data. The wide range of available standards – such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or ISO – and uncertainty about their implications deter many organisations from taking action. With more than 15 years of experience, we guide organisations across a wide range of sectors through every phase of climate strategy and target development – from selecting the right framework to validating your emissions data and developing robust business cases.
Science-based climate targets have a demonstrably positive impact on cost, market position and reputation for most organisations – yet choosing between standards such as SBTi and ISO, as well as deriving realistic reduction targets, remains an open hurdle for many. Those who overcome it now secure these benefits, rather than leaving them unused.
Thanks to our extensive experience, we know exactly what matters when developing climate targets. You benefit from our holistic perspective: we not only ensure the credibility of your targets, but also keep economic viability and feasibility firmly in view from the outset.
We consolidate your organisation-wide Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) and emissions data, improve data quality and conduct a hotspot analysis. Based on validated data, we derive science-based targets (e.g. aligned with SBTi) and develop a strategy with realistic reduction pathways and clear KPIs.
We develop prioritised measure packages, ranging from short-term quick wins to medium-term transformation projects. We systematically assess the impact, cost and GHG savings of each measure. In addition, we create robust business cases, including payback calculations and available funding options, so that decision-makers can act quickly.
We define clear responsibilities, meaningful KPIs and a reporting setup (e.g. aligned with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)). This ensures that the implementation of your climate strategy is meaningfully integrated into existing business processes and that target achievement is secured.
Certified, recognised climate targets secure your long-term access to sales and capital markets.
Through established reporting and clear responsibilities, your climate strategy becomes a permanent part of corporate governance – not a one-off project.
Transformation projects create new business opportunities over time that go beyond pure cost reduction.
