GHG Emissions Reduction Strategy
Turn your climate goals into real progress. ECG builds data-driven emissions reduction roadmaps that align with SBTi and net-zero commitments.
A greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction strategy is the essential framework that transforms your climate goals into tangible action. It is a comprehensive plan of actions, programs, and policies designed to reduce your company’s carbon footprint over a defined timeframe. ECG helps you create a robust strategy that empowers you to pinpoint emission sources, set scientific targets, and effectively monitor your progress toward net-zero.
Why Your Business Needs a Reduction Strategy
A comprehensive GHG strategy is critical for long-term success in a low-carbon economy.
- Addresses All Emissions: It addresses emissions from your direct operations (Scope 1 & 2) as well as your entire value chain (Scope 3), focusing on high-emitting hotspots.
- Drives Operational Efficiency: Measures like improving energy efficiency and transitioning to renewables often lead to significant operational cost savings.
- Manages Climate Risk: Proactively addressing emissions reduces your exposure to regulatory, physical, and reputational risks associated with climate change.
- Fosters Innovation: Embracing low-carbon practices and technologies positions your organization competitively and drives innovation.
How a Strategy Achieves a Net-Zero Commitment
