Services / Reduction

Turn climate targets into a plan the portfolio can deliver.

We help investors set climate targets they can defend to LPs, then turn them into decarbonization plans for each portfolio company and for the firm itself.

Questions we answer
  • What climate target is credible for our fund, and how do we set it?
  • Which companies drive our emissions, and what can each of them do?
  • Are we on track, and what will closing the gap take?
  • How do we cut our own firm's footprint?
What we do
Target setting

We set portfolio and firm-level targets that follow recognized frameworks and meet your LPs' expectations.

Portfolio pathways

We compare each company's emissions path with its target. The gaps show where to engage first.

Company decarbonization plans

With each management team, we work out the levers, costs and timing to cut the company's emissions.

Operational reduction

We plan the cuts for your own firm's offices, travel and suppliers.

Where to start

Cheapest cuts first

We rank each option by its cost per tonne. The cheapest sit at the left of the curve, and many of them save money.

How we work
  1. 01Baseline

    Start from a footprint you trust, or build one with our Measurement team.

  2. 02Target

    Choose a target and method that fit the fund's strategy and its LPs.

  3. 03Plan

    Work out the levers company by company, with costs and timing.

  4. 04Track

    Compare each year's results with the pathway and adjust.

Track

Closing the gap to the target

Each year we compare results with the pathway. If the gap starts to widen, you see it while there is still time to act.
