Decarbonisation & transition
Decarbonisation and transition
The climate transition is accelerating, and businesses need a clear plan to keep up. As climate risks intensify and regulation tightens, companies are under increasing pressure to act. But with the right strategy, the shift to a low-carbon economy becomes a driver of innovation, resilience, and long-term value.
We help organisations turn climate ambition into action
We help organisations build solid data foundations, identify high-impact decarbonisation levers, and embed credible, science-aligned plans into the heart of the business. With 100+ engagements across industries and company sizes, we bring deep expertise, including in complex areas like consolidated groups, FLAG sectors (Forest, Land and Agriculture), and private equity.
GHG inventory development
We support companies in developing transparent, robust GHG inventories aligned with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and leading sector standards. Covering Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, we ensure data is accurate, consistent, and ready for third-party verification.
We use our proprietary GHG inventory tool, built in accordance with the GHG Protocol, to strengthen the data foundation and enable continuous improvement over time. This includes facilitating the transition from spend-based to activity-based data, making it easier to identify reduction opportunities and guide effective decarbonisation efforts.
Our approach combines 80/20 logic, sector insight, and a strong business mindset to focus efforts where they matter most.
Science-aligned target setting
We guide companies through the full Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) journey, from commitment and target development to submission, validation, and communication. We ensure that targets are ambitious, achievable, and grounded in the latest climate science, helping businesses stay ahead of market and regulatory expectations.
Climate transition planning
We develop integrated Climate Transition Plans (CTP) that connect ambition with execution. This includes assessing reduction levers, quantifying the business case, sequencing initiatives, and embedding the plan into governance and strategy. We also address risk management and stakeholder engagement, ensuring the plan is both credible and actionable.
The result: a clear path forward that drives real emissions reductions, creates value, and positions your business for success in a low-carbon economy.

The project
Telia Denmark wanted to establish a clear starting point for its sustainability efforts, with a focus on understanding its environmental footprint and identifying high-impact areas for action. We supported Telia in developing its first sustainability report, calculating its full Scope 1–3 GHG emissions baseline, and setting short-term reduction targets that align with business priorities.
Our approach
We calculated Telia Denmark’s GHG emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3 in accordance with the GHG Protocol and assessed its waste baseline to provide a comprehensive environmental overview. Using this data, we worked closely with Telia to define ambitious but actionable near-term reduction targets and developed a catalogue of GHG reduction levers, each with quantified impact estimates and supporting business cases. The outcome was structured into a sustainability roadmap and supported by a governance model designed to ensure cross-functional alignment and long-term progress.
The impact
Our collaboration provided Telia Denmark with a clear baseline and strategic direction for its sustainability efforts. With defined targets, prioritised actions, and a supporting governance model, Telia was equipped to drive measurable emissions reductions and communicate its sustainability progress with confidence, both internally and externally.
