Decarbonization and net zero services

How you can stay committed to reducing carbon emissions

Half of Fortune 500 companies have made net zero or carbon reduction commitments. What does that mean?

Net zero is the balance between emissions produced and emissions taken out of the atmosphere; reaching net zero means a company is no longer contributing to global warming. Carbon reduction commitments are made to deliver a reduction in emissions below current rates.

Achieving these commitments means tackling emissions along a company’s entire value chain - upstream with suppliers and downstream with customers, addressing direct emissions (Scope 1) and indirect emissions (Scopes 2 and 3).

No matter where you are on your net zero journey, you need a plan. Our ESG framework helps companies at any stage in the process.

Where do emissions come from?

Tracking greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across an organization can be challenging because they come from so many sources, both direct and indirect. Whether a company is working toward a net zero or carbon reduction commitment, understanding the difference between Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions is important.

  • Baseline, strategy and roadmap. Where do you stand? Where can you prioritize?

Moving from ambition to action: Nine building blocks for successful decarbonization transformation

A growing number of companies are taking action to reduce the emissions gap and embracing it as an opportunity to drive innovation, increase competitiveness, and stimulate resilient growth. PwC has defined an ESG framework with nine key building blocks for a successful decarbonization transformation. It can serve as a roadmap as you move ambition to implementation and: 

  • Provides a checklist of actions companies need to undertake on their transformation to net zero
  • Explains why these actions are important
  • Provides practical and actionable guidance
