Net Zero Advisory

Utilise science-based methodologies to translate your net zero targets into action.

Many organisations have set ambitious net zero targets, but turning ambition into action is where the challenge really begins. From navigating complex emissions data, to deploying future-ready technologies – building a credible and achievable decarbonisation strategy can be daunting.

That’s where our Net Zero Advisory team can help. We help you to move from strategy to implementation by answering the critical questions:

  • Which technologies should you invest in – and in what order?
  • Which sites should you prioritise for maximum impact?
  • Which countries should you focus on first?
  • How can you fund your decarbonisation journey effectively?
  • What risks should you anticipate and mitigate?
  • How do you compare to your competitors and peers?

Are you looking to build a pathway to net zero?

Strategic Planning and Target Setting
We’ll begin by establishing a clear understanding of your current carbon footprint, across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. If you don’t already have decarbonisation goals, we’ll help you set science-based targets that align with global standards and your internal business objectives, ensuring they’re both credible and actionable.

Technical and Financial Feasibility
Once strategic goals are defined, we’ll assess the maturity and readiness of relevant decarbonisation technologies. We’ll evaluate which solutions should be deployed across your estate, when and where, and develop robust business cases that weigh cost, benefit, and risk to support confident investment decisions.

Roadmap Development and Delivery Alignment
With feasibility established, we’ll create detailed, multi-year net zero pathways, tailored to each site or operational context. These roadmaps will provide a clear, phased plan to achieve your decarbonisation goals, prioritising interventions based on impact, feasibility, and timing.

Stakeholder Engagement and Enablement
Throughout the process, we’ll help you to engage your stakeholders. This includes helping to build internal alignment and communicating progress effectively. Our work ensures that sustainability strategies are not only technically sound, but also well understood and supported across the organisation.

Supporting Moog to roadmap their green ambitions

Global engineering firm Moog engaged Centrica Business Solutions to audit five diverse sites and recommend measures to support their net zero journey. The team outlined how Moog could achieve a 50% emissions reduction by 2032 and reach net zero by 2044 at the reviewed sites, detailing the required technologies, timelines, and investments.

Hamish Ferguson, Sustainability and ESG Director at Moog, said: “They are a good partner to us; they listen to what we’re saying, how we’re saying it, and what we’re trying to achieve. I’m very happy with them.”
