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.

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.

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.

2026–2034 · optional early action
Take responsibility for a share of ongoing emissions early — stronger claims today and early access to supply

Neutralisation ramps from a small share of ongoing emissions to 100% at your net-zero year, as leading standards require

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.
