Decarbonization Services

Accelerate your journey to net-zero.

Our decarbonization services support your full transformation—from defining your CO₂ reduction roadmap to executing high-impact measures. Whether you're following Science Based Targets (SBTi) or using custom methodologies, we provide the strategy, tools, and real-world actions that work.

Decarbonization strategy

How it works:

Our approach combines industry expertise and structured methods to deliver a decarbonization roadmap tailored to your business model and emissions profile.

To deliver a net-zero transition plan, we usually run the following steps:

• Identify and analyze levers for carbon reduction based on feasibility, cost, and impact
• Prioritize opportunities into strategic, operational, or fast-win actions
• Map your carbon trajectory, aligning bottom-up planning with top-down targets
• Model multiple scenarios aligned with net-zero pathways
• Assess impact outside the value chain, such as product-related avoided emissions
• Include offsetting and removal measures for residual emissions

Decarbonization actions to reduce emissions

How it works:

Not all innovations are a fit for your business. We at BearingPoint help you navigate a landscape of hundreds of carbon reduction technologies using our ROI-based action catalogue. This return on investment approach helps to select the right measures for your company.

Each measure includes:

• Carbon reduction potential (tons of CO₂)
• Estimated investment
• Industry-specific applicability
• Return on investment

From simple swaps like LED lighting to advanced solutions like heat recovery or magnetic bearings—we help you select what works best.

Decarbonization SBTi

How it works:

Setting realistic science-based targets can be challenging. We help organizations:

• Choose the right methodology (SBTi vs. custom)
• Align scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions with standards
• Create an actionable roadmap
• Balance ambition with feasibility

Decarbonization tools to simulate/Track reductions

How it works:

Do you need to track only carbon? Or include CCF, PCF, ESG, and CSRD disclosures too? Based on your maturity and goals, we identify the right tool for:

• Projections and simulation
• Disclosure and reporting
• IT integration and data access
• Tracking reductions in real-time

We will select for you the best-fitting tool for your use case.  If it comes to operating model, we offer a wide variation from classical SaaS to managed services/business process outsourcing.
