Set targets and implement sustainability strategies

Intelligent target setting is the blueprint for developing strategies to reduce emissions and increase resilience. Such strategies help you to prepare your business for the future, deal with climate risks and meet growing investor demands for increased transparency.

Target setting

It always seems impossible until it's done.

We give our clients the best possible basis to define their own relevant targets - against a realistic timeline and compared to their competitors (benchmarking). And then we support them to achieve their goals, every step of the way.

Over 1,000 clients have already benefited from South Pole's expertise to define and achieve their sustainability goals. Building on the most current scientific datasets and recommendations, we support clients' aim for GHG emission reductions . But we don't stop at carbon, our expertise covers energy, water, deforestation and plastic use.

Strategy development, implementation and monitoring

As part of South Pole's " Climate Leaders Programme", we develop and implement individual carbon reduction and sustainability strategies.

One key factor in our clients' success when implementing strategies is our monitoring expertise. We ensure that projects deliver the impact they were designed to achieve, not only for operations and processes but also in relation to the raw material supply chains that are essential to your business:
