Carbon footprint and decarbonisation strategy
Ensure targets are met with our strategy and design corporate decarbonisation approach
Develop an effective decarbonisation strategy
In an era where environmental stewardship has taken centre stage, regulations are becoming more stringent, and climate-related supply chain disruptions more present, decarbonisation has emerged as an essential strategy for businesses.
Reducing carbon emissions is crucial in combatting climate change and having the right strategy to reduce emissions can help companies manage financial climate-related risks and meet increasing regulatory demands for climate-related disclosures and green transition roadmaps.
The LRQA Strategy & Design process supports you in calculating your carbon footprint, setting ambitious science-based reduction targets, and developing an effective decarbonisation strategy that allows you to deliver actual results across your entire value chain. From credible emission reduction targets and carbon neutrality (net zero) to a net positive strategy, LRQA supports companies around the globe in achieving their degree of ambition and desired impact, while enabling them to address multiple business challenges.
