Climate is the first and most enduring sustainability topic for most companies, now regulated using the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). And pressure from stakeholders and regulatory bodies is intensifying to adopt ambitious low-carbon approaches.
The objective for organizations is clear: to integrate climate change into their corporate strategies and be recognized as proactive climate players. Getting there is more complex.
Once a carbon footprint has been measured, a target set and a trajectory defined, the right solutions need to be implemented to make it happen. The financial implications of the transformation must be forecast, and carbon accountability fully assessed.
BearingPoint supports your organization from end to end in this process, leveraging our expert cohort of varied and specialist consultants as well as our preferential relationships with a range of software suppliers. We bring consulting and solution capabilities that help you deliver on your decarbonization strategy to meet both today’s and tomorrow’s challenges.
BearingPoint’s approach to decarbonization for your organization
-
1. Measure from diagnosis to reporting
- Identify main carbon issues
- Choose the most relevant tool to assess them in detail (e.g. custom modelling tool or a software solution such as SAP SFM, Sweep, Traace)
- Report on climate impacts through sustainability or CDP reporting
-
2. Develop a climate transition plan
- Perform a stress test of 2°C scenarios
- Define climate targets aligned with the headline target (e.g. with the Science Based Targets methodology)
- Determine the right low-carbon trajectory to meet them
-
3. Transform your business model and your organization
- Build an operational action plan and define a decarbonization investment plan (OpEx + CapEx)
- Support change and training teams
- Set an internal carbon price
- Benchmark the strategy against low-carbon objectives (based on the ACT framework)
-
4. Contribute to carbon neutrality
- Develop carbon sinks (carbon capture and sequestration)
- Contribute to financing the transition through voluntary compensation
