A unique partnership that combines breakthrough carbon footprint analytics with decarbonization strategy
The push to net zero demands a paradigm shift. Companies that have felt constrained by a focus on compliance rather than value, approximations rather than auditable numbers, and annual assessments rather than real-time monitoring now have a powerful new option. Our partnership with Persefoni, the leading climate management and accounting platform, addresses those and many other limitations, enabling you to accelerate your carbon transitions, guided by a detailed understanding of your emissions footprint.
For more than a decade we have helped companies address a wide range of sustainability topics, from climate change and waste reduction to sustainable food systems and ESG investing. Our partnership with Persefoni now adds a critical component to our solution: a best-in-class carbon accounting platform that turns financial, operational, and supply chain data into auditable—and actionable—results.
Our expertise in carbon transitions and corporate strategy, and our deep understanding of the factors that determine investors’ priorities, combined with Persefoni’s powerful carbon accounting platform will enable you to pursue your net zero strategy guided by detailed, auditable data, ensuring that your actions produce real impact and unlock value.
This partnership will enable all of our clients, from investors to financial institutions to corporates, to manage their carbon inventory with the same rigor and transparency they expect from their financial metrics.
We've teamed up with Persefoni to create Net Zero Navigator, a powerful tool that helps you bridge the gap between setting a target and actually reaching it.

Carbon emissions within portfolios are increasingly subject to regulations and investor scrutiny, but to successfully reduce or improve your carbon footprint you need an accurate, actionable assessment of your point of departure. We can help you:
For example, we determined the footprint and intensity for 30+ portfolio companies of a fund, prioritized three that accounted for the lion’s share of emissions, and developed a high-level plan for these companies that included key strategic & operational decarbonization actions.
Understanding the target’s carbon footprint, the ability to achieve decarbonization targets, or the exposure to carbon-related trends is becoming increasingly vital to formatting the deal thesis for many investors. We can help you:
For example, we assessed the carbon footprint of a dairy company, benchmarked the performance of its peers, and identified priority decarbonization steps that have the potential to result in a greater than 30% emissions reduction over the next 10 years, while boosting EBITDA.
Alongside creating positive environmental and societal outcomes, decarbonization can create economic value for investors; when done right it can lower costs, improve revenue and multiples, and facilitate better management of capital. We can help you:
For example, we determined an updateable emissions baseline for a manufacturing company, prioritized its key decarbonization actions, aligned on a decarbonization ambition, and created a detailed plan with quick win-wins and steps to achieve long-term goals.
