Net Zero Targets and Climate Disclosure

Setting a target that can be validated and disclosing against a framework that is now mandatory

Covers science based target setting including the SBTi criteria, decarbonisation roadmap construction with marginal abatement cost, and climate related financial disclosure under the TCFD structure as carried into IFRS S2, including scenario analysis.

This course sits alongside our Sustainability & ESG consulting work, so what is taught is what we do.

Who should attend

Sustainability directors and ESG managers
Finance and investor relations staff preparing disclosures
Risk managers assessing climate related risk
Strategy staff building decarbonisation plans

Course content

Every module is taught with worked examples and exercises drawn from real plant, and adapted to your own process where the course runs in house.

1

Target setting

  • Absolute against intensity targets and the SBTi criteria
  • Near term and long term targets and the net zero standard
  • Scope 3 target requirements and supplier engagement targets
  • Validation process and the common reasons targets are rejected
2

Decarbonisation roadmap

  • Abatement option identification across energy, process and supply chain
  • Marginal abatement cost curve construction and its limits
  • Sequencing, capital planning and asset replacement cycles
  • Residual emissions, neutralisation and the role of removals
3

Climate disclosure

  • Governance, strategy, risk management and metrics and targets
  • The transition from TCFD to IFRS S2 and ISSB adoption
  • Physical and transition risk identification
  • Connecting climate disclosure to the financial statements
4

Scenario analysis

  • Selecting scenarios and the reference pathways
  • Qualitative against quantitative analysis and proportionality
  • Assessing resilience of the strategy
  • Documenting assumptions for assurance and for investors

What you receive

  • A target setting workbook aligned to the SBTi criteria
  • A marginal abatement cost curve template
  • A disclosure gap analysis against IFRS S2
  • A scenario analysis framework
  • Assessment result and attendance record

What changes afterwards

  • Targets are constructed so validation is achievable
  • Roadmaps sequence abatement against capital cycles
  • Disclosure meets the structure investors and regulators now expect
  • Scenario analysis is proportionate rather than performative
