Net Zero

We can support your organisation to understand your emissions impact, meet compliance, and develop the skills you need to create and follow a pathway to net zero emissions. Find out more below about what Net Zero is, about Net Zero strategy and how Pilio can help embed this.

The Goal of Net Zero:

In today's rapidly changing environmental landscape, the concept of Net Zero has emerged as a critical goal for governments and organisations worldwide.

As concerns about climate change continue to mount, businesses are increasingly recognising the imperative to reduce their carbon footprint and transition towards a sustainable, low-carbon future.

Achieving Net Zero emissions has become a key strategic objective for organisations across sectors, reflecting a commitment to environmental responsibility and long-term sustainability.

What is a Net Zero strategy?

A Net Zero strategy outlines the specific actions and policies that an entity, whether it's a government, a company, or an organisation, plans to take in order to achieve Net Zero emissions. This strategy typically includes a combination of measures aimed at measuring and monitoring energy and carbon, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing carbon removal efforts.

Overall, a Net Zero strategy is a comprehensive roadmap for aligning activities with the goal of reaching Net Zero emissions, thereby contributing to global and local efforts to mitigate climate change.

Take a look below for a summary of areas to focus on in your Net Zero journey.

Monitoring, Reporting & Verification

Establishing systems to accurately measure, report, and verify progress towards achieving Net Zero emissions. This ensures transparency and accountability in implementing the Net Zero strategy.

Emissions Reduction Targets

Setting clear and ambitious targets to reduce emissions across your business or organisation's operations. This might involve transitioning to renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, electrifying transportation, and implementing sustainable practices.

Energy Efficiency Measures

Set targets include targets and budgets for energy, transport, water and carbon, plus business-level carbon targets.

Investments in Renewable Energy

Increasing investments in renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power to replace fossil fuels and reduce reliance on carbon-intensive energy sources.

Policy and Regulatory Measures

Implementing supportive policies and regulations to incentivise emissions reductions and facilitate the transition to a Net Zero economy. This may include carbon pricing mechanisms, subsidies for renewable energy, emissions standards, and regulations promoting sustainable practices.

Carbon Offsetting, Capture & Sinks

Carbon Offsetting, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), and Natural Carbon Sinks are three key strategies for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. Support projects that compensate for internal emissions, capture and store carbon dioxide emissions and enhance ecosystems which naturally absorb and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Integrating energy management, carbon footprint calculation, carbon reporting, and sustainability strategy into a Net Zero strategy enables organisations to systematically measure, manage, and reduce their environmental impact. By leveraging data and technology to drive informed decision-making and prioritise actions, businesses can accelerate progress towards achieving Net Zero emissions and contributing to a more sustainable future.

Environmental Assessment:

Environmental assessments such as carbon reporting involves documenting and disclosing an organisation's greenhouse gas emissions to stakeholders, including investors, customers, and regulatory bodies. Transparent reporting provides accountability and allows stakeholders to assess an organisation's progress towards reducing its carbon footprint. It also demonstrates a commitment to environmental responsibility and can help build trust with stakeholders.

Environmental Assessment

Sustainability Strategy:

A sustainability strategy outlines an organisation's approach to addressing environmental, social, and economic challenges while ensuring long-term viability and resilience. Within a Net Zero strategy, sustainability initiatives focus on reducing carbon emissions, conserving natural resources, promoting renewable energy, and enhancing environmental stewardship. This may involve setting emissions reduction targets, investing in renewable energy projects, adopting sustainable practices in operations and supply chains, and engaging stakeholders in sustainability efforts.
