The world is changing
More investors want proof of Paris-alignment and decarbonisation’s financial upsides. The Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi) requirements
are moving to absolute Scope 3 cuts for companies, and portfolio absolute emissions cuts for investors.
Why Aim for zero

1Value
Delivering on targets aligned with 1.5°C attracts higher valuation premiums.
-
2Sheild
Pre-empt carbon exposed downsides, uncertain transition related regulations and disclosures.
-
3Timely
Start soon on the harder, longer-term decarbonisation measures, to meet the Science Based Target (SBT) and Return on Investment (ROI).
-
4Capital
Demonstrate commitment to sustainability and attract Environmental Social Governance (ESG) focused capital from Limited Partners (LPs).

5Autonomy
Building capacity for portfolio companies to be independent in delivering decarbonisation reduces demand on advisors and PE firms.
Services to help you aim for zero
We cut through the complexity of target-setting so your stakeholders can own decarbonisation. We set SBT-aligned or SBTi-validated targets with clear implementation roadmaps, leaving you with:
1. Simple trackers and playbooks for all stakeholders to understand the targets and progress to meeting them.
2. A library of costed decarbonisation measures so that each portfolio company knows how to meet the targets and the ROI for doing so.
3. Education sessions to further accelerate deal teams and portfolio leadership to deliver decarbonisation linked value creation.
This results in PE firms moving from targets being a strategic idea to a day-to-day practice in unlocking value across evolving portfolios.
