Net zero and climate risk service
Delivering credible emission reduction targets, carbon neutrality and a net positive strategy
Underpinned by robust tools and processes
Ensure your long-term resilience amidst an evolving climate risk landscape
The urgency of the climate crisis and evolving regulatory landscapes is compelling organisations to proactively make commitments, assess their exposure to climate risk, and transparently disclose both physical and transition risks. A growing number of businesses are pledging to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, aligning with the Paris Agreement.
However, commitments lacking science-based targets and transparent strategies to achieve them are swiftly identified as greenwashing, facing rejection by regulatory bodies.
Key global economies, including the US, EU, UK, Brazil, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, New Zealand, India, and Japan, are leading initiatives to mandate corporate climate strategies, emissions targets, decarbonisation roadmaps, and disclosure of climate-related risks and opportunities.
The LRQA Management Diagnostics process goes beyond compliance assessment, offering comprehensive support for Net Zero and Climate Disclosure against standards like SBTi, TCFD, and CDP. It effectively evaluates climate-related risks to your company, assesses your carbon footprint, and aids in setting science-based emissions reductions. Our approach provides an effective decarbonisation strategy aligned with your goals, delivering tangible results across your entire value chain.
From credible emission reduction targets and carbon neutrality (Net Zero) to a net positive strategy, our engagement supports companies around the globe in achieving their degree of ambition and desired impact, while enabling them to address multiple business challenges.
