Understand the baseline
Define the organisation and activities covered. Establish emissions information and make gaps visible.
Net-Zero Transition PlanningMake the transition
Make the transition
one practical step at a time.
Connect your long-term ambition with a baseline, prioritised projects, responsibilities and measurable progress.
A direction for the business.
A plan for the work.
Choose reduction priorities
Evaluate changes in energy, operations, materials and transport against feasibility and resources.
Set milestones
Agree responsibilities, intended timelines and indicators so progress can be reviewed.
What a useful roadmap contains.
Projects connected to an overall ambition
A roadmap can bring together a baseline, proposed reductions, investment requirements, delivery dependencies and review dates. Update it as evidence and operating conditions change.
VR1 helps organise the assessment and project work. Technology specialists and your internal team contribute the expertise needed for delivery.
Begin with the stage you are at.
No baseline yet
Build an initial picture of emissions and data quality.
Start with assessment →Opportunities identified
Compare the technologies and project costs.
Structure a project →Projects underway
Agree a measurement plan and review actual results.
Track progress →Connect ambition to practical projects.
Evaluate reductions within a defined transition plan and track the evidence of progress.
Discuss your next stepBuild your team’s
carbon knowledge.
Learning alongside action
Explore Carbon Scan Academy
Help the people collecting data and making decisions understand carbon measurement and reporting. Explore the Academy and its course catalogue to find training relevant to your team.
Training is an optional support for your transition. Course completion does not establish net-zero status or independent verifier approval.
