The challenge

Current food decarbonisation falls well short of what’s needed to achieve net zero by 2050. Most global food companies now have science-based targets, but emissions are still rising.

Food companies face the cost of living crisis at the same time as tightening regulation, possible carbon taxation, and investor and consumer pressure to transition to net zero.

Planning and executing net zero strategy is complex.  Balancing profit, investment and decarbonisation requires a new approaches to transition management.

A prosperous transition to Net Zero

The need for change is clear but change is hard. We help leaders across the business buy in to change by quantifying the cost of inaction, using economics, data and technology to find ways for organisations to fund their net zero transition. We work with you to develop a strategy, transition plan and monitoring to ensure simultaneous progress against environmental, social and financial objectives.

Working with us

We align our specialist skills with your business knowledge to travel the path to net zero together. Our specialist partners do carbon footprinting. The Net Zero Transition Office delivers transformation helping you to achieve your business objectives and reach net zero.

Our Approach

Maturity & Baseline

Our COSST & 5Ps model is used to assess your maturity and understand the implications of net zero for your growth and operating model:

Customers, Operations, Strategy, Suppliers, Technology;
Product, Policy, People, Process and Projects.

This exposes the degree of change needed and provides you with a baseline from which to measure benefits.

Data quality and availability
Change management
Governance & control

Objectives & Strategy

Reaching net zero will require you to think about your strategy wholistically. Carbon reduction can not happen in a vacuum.

Our 7 organisational goals method helps customers to determine their goals, weight their priority, and build associated objectives. SMART objectives which are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timebound and have clear outcomes will allow the alignment of commercial and environmental imperatives.

Monitoring

We assist you with ongoing enterprise monitoring and reporting using our technology, data and analytics capabilities.

This allows you to prioritise, interrogate, re-plan, pivot and proceed with clear understanding and purpose.

Opportunity

Analysis of your business against our COSST & 5Ps model will enable the ideation of new initiatives which can be developed into investment cases for change with the right ROI.

Planning

Transition planning is critical to reaching net zero by 2040.

Your roadmap should include opportunities in the near term (“deliver now”), medium term (“define now, deliver later”), and long term (“define later”).

Regular planning and re-planning should be built into the roadmap to keep up with our ever-changing world.

Execution

Taking action and delivering the required business change across the enterprise is what will make transition possible. This can be business wide or targeted in areas like analytics and reporting, operations, logistics, procurement, systems and data, back office transformation and the supply chain.
