Carbon Markets · Net Zero Strategy
A net-zero commitment needs a net-zero plan.
Science-based target setting, decarbonization pathway design, and net-zero roadmap development — built on your actual emission data, not generic benchmarks.
Credible net-zero is built on three things: measurement, reduction, and residual.
Net-zero commitments that are not grounded in accurate baseline data, credible reduction pathways, and a defensible approach to residual emissions will not survive regulatory scrutiny, investor due diligence, or public attention. EDAT works with organisations to build net-zero strategies that are technically sound and aligned with recognised frameworks — the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the GHG Protocol, and applicable sectoral pathways.
We begin with your verified GHG inventory, identify the most material reduction opportunities across Scope 1, 2, and 3, and develop a prioritised, costed decarbonization roadmap with measurable interim milestones. Where residual emissions remain, we advise on high-quality carbon removal and offset approaches that meet buyer and investor expectations.
Standards & Frameworks Applied
Why this matters
Science-Based Targets
Target-setting aligned with SBTi criteria — 1.5°C or well-below-2°C pathways, Scope 1/2/3 coverage, validated by SBTi where required.
Prioritised Reduction Roadmap
Decarbonization opportunities ranked by abatement potential, cost, feasibility, and alignment with your capital expenditure cycle.
Credible Residual Approach
Advice on high-quality carbon removal and offsetting for residual emissions that cannot be eliminated — aligned with Oxford Principles and buyer expectations.
Regulatory Readiness
Net-zero strategy structured to satisfy TCFD, ISSB/IFRS S2 climate-related disclosure requirements and regulatory climate plan mandates.
How the engagement works
Baseline & Gap Analysis
Verified GHG inventory review, sector benchmark comparison, and gap analysis against applicable science-based pathway.
Pathway Design
Reduction opportunity identification, pathway modelling, interim target setting, and residual emissions strategy.
Roadmap & Governance
Costed, phased decarbonization roadmap with governance structure, KPIs, and reporting framework for board accountability.
