Goal and Target Setting

We help organizations set targets related to greenhouse gas emissions reductions, renewable energy adoption, energy efficiency, water stewardship, water efficiency, ecological resilience, waste reduction, and other climate-related metrics, including establishing timebound science-based targets (SBTs).

Our goal is to help you understand the organization culture, operational environment, business drivers, and climate-related risks that are material to your organization. From there, we identify a set of focus areas that meaningfully tackle material risks and help advance your organization. Once these focus areas are developed, we establish baseline information so proper goals, targets, and programs can be established that align with your goals and objectives.
