Decarbonisation Strategy
Science aligned decarbonisation
Reducing emissions is a clear and present imperative for global businesses. Our professional Decarbonisation Strategy service helps organizations transition from intent to impact. We work with you to develop tailored, science-aligned roadmaps. These plans link your operational realities with long-term carbon goals. Whether you are beginning an inventory or setting targets, we provide clarity. Our approach ensures accountability and measurable action across your entire value chain.
Our services are grounded in practical action rather than abstract theory. We identify exactly where your emissions come from. Then, we determine where reductions are most feasible. A robust Decarbonisation Strategy aligns your ambitions with international frameworks. We work alongside your teams to build realistic and executable roadmaps. Our experts help you set science-aligned targets for every business unit. We integrate these goals directly into your core operations.
The result is a Decarbonisation Strategy that is credible and resilient. It prepares your organization for future climate and regulatory shifts. We ensure your roadmap stands up to external scrutiny from investors. Clear milestones help you track progress and communicate success effectively. Ultimately, a specialized Decarbonisation Strategy drives long-term organizational value. SAGE Sustainability provides the technical expertise to turn your climate commitments into reality.
FAQ's
What is the first step in building a decarbonization strategy?
It begins with understanding your current emissions profile across Scope 1, 2 and 3.
Do we need to commit to net zero to have a decarbonization plan?
No, you can start with emission reduction targets aligned with your business context and capacity.
How do we prioritise actions in the roadmap?
We use a combination of emission hotspots, cost-benefit analysis, and feasibility assessments.
Which frameworks do you align with?
We align with SBTi, GHG Protocol, ISO 14064, and national/regional guidelines.
Can SMEs also decarbonize meaningfully?
Yes, we help organisations of all sizes create practical, phased, and cost-sensitive strategies.

Where are you on your Decarbonisation journey?
Whether you are just beginning to map your emissions or already setting science-based targets, the journey to net zero requires clarity, credibility, and action. At SAGE Sustainability, we help you take the next step; wherever you’re starting from. From identifying key emission hotspots to building finance-ready roadmaps and aligning with evolving regulatory frameworks, we work alongside your teams to design strategies that are technically sound, economically viable, and resilient to change.
Our approach
We begin with your context; your operations, constraints, and ambitions. Our team conducts a thorough diagnostic of your emissions profile across Scope 1, 2, and 3, looking not just at what’s reported but what’s often overlooked. We map reduction levers across your value chain and prioritise interventions based on technical feasibility, cost-benefit, and long-term risk.
We engage your internal stakeholders early, build capacity where needed, and co-create a decarbonisation roadmap aligned with national goals, investor expectations, and science-based targets. Throughout, we emphasise implementability, because strategies only matter when they translate to action.
Why choose SAGE for your Decarbonisation strategy?
What sets us apart is our ability to tailor global frameworks to local realities, and to work as partners. Our decarbonisation strategies are grounded, data-backed, and ready for boardrooms, financiers, and frontline teams alike.
