A net-zero commitment is only credible when it rests on a verified baseline, science-aligned interim targets and a plan of abatement measures with capital, savings and timing. We model your decarbonisation levers — energy efficiency, electrification, renewables, process change, fuel switching and supplier engagement — and build a roadmap that can be validated by SBTi, disclosed in BRSR and ISSB reports, and tracked by your board.
Legal basis: India's Nationally Determined Contribution and Net Zero 2070 commitment under the Paris Agreement; SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard; ISO 14068-1:2023 (carbon neutrality); GHG Protocol; Carbon Credit Trading Scheme, 2023 for obligated entities
Who needs it
- Companies that have announced or are considering a net-zero or carbon-neutral commitment and need a credible plan behind it
- Suppliers whose customers have set SBTi-validated Scope 3 targets and now require supplier emission reductions
- Obligated entities under the CCTS planning investments to meet tightening emission-intensity targets
- Energy-intensive manufacturers in cement, steel, textiles, chemicals, pharma and paper facing CBAM or customer pressure
- Real-estate and infrastructure developers targeting net-zero buildings and campuses
- Groups seeking green finance, sustainability-linked loans or bonds that require decarbonisation KPIs

How we get it done
- 1
Baseline and ambition setting
Week 1–3We validate the base-year inventory, model business-as-usual growth and set near-term (2030) and long-term targets aligned to 1.5 °C pathways or sector-specific decarbonisation approaches.
- 2
Abatement opportunity assessment
Week 3–7Site walk-throughs and data analysis identify efficiency, electrification, renewable, fuel-switch and process measures, each quantified for tonnes abated, capex, opex savings and payback.
- 3
Marginal abatement cost curve and scenarios
Week 7–9Measures are ranked on a marginal abatement cost curve, and scenarios are built that combine them into a feasible sequence against the targets, with residual emissions and offset needs identified.
- 4
Roadmap, governance and disclosure
Week 9–12The final roadmap sets annual milestones, capital plan, KPIs and governance, and we prepare the SBTi submission or the climate-transition disclosures for BRSR / ISSB S2 reporting.
If you don’t comply
There is no statutory penalty for not having a net-zero roadmap, but a public commitment without a documented plan is a greenwashing risk under the CCPA Guidelines for Prevention and Regulation of Greenwashing, 2024 and the ASCI code, and SBTi removes companies that fail to submit targets. Commercially, the risk is losing customers and finance that now screen for credible transition plans, and paying more for Carbon Credit Certificates or CBAM certificates than planned abatement would have cost.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between net zero and carbon neutral?
Carbon neutrality, as defined in ISO 14068-1 and PAS 2060, means balancing emissions with an equivalent quantity of offsets and can be achieved for a product, site or year without deep reductions. Net zero under the SBTi standard requires reducing absolute value-chain emissions by around 90 percent against the base year, with only residual emissions neutralised through permanent removals. Net zero is the more demanding and more credible claim.
Do we need SBTi validation?
Not legally, but many global customers and investors treat SBTi validation as the benchmark for target credibility, and it removes doubt about whether targets are science-aligned. SBTi offers a streamlined route for SMEs. We prepare the target submission and supporting data if you choose to validate.
How do we handle Scope 3 when we cannot control suppliers?
SBTi requires Scope 3 targets where those emissions are at least 40 percent of the total, and most Indian manufacturers exceed that. The roadmap prioritises supplier categories by emissions and influence, sets supplier engagement targets (for example, a percentage of suppliers by spend having their own targets), and builds specifications and procurement criteria that shift purchases toward lower-carbon inputs over time.
Will the roadmap pay for itself?
Many measures — energy efficiency, rooftop and open-access solar, waste heat recovery, motor and compressed-air upgrades — have paybacks under four years and reduce operating costs. Deeper measures such as process electrification and green hydrogen have longer horizons. The marginal abatement cost curve makes this visible so the board can sequence investments sensibly and fund them through green loans where appropriate.
