Every great strategy begins with a clear vision.
At Deloitte, we help our clients embed "Zerograding" – a transformative approach to ready businesses for a net-zero future. With over a century of experience, we partner with businesses to identify emerging global and industry trends, while addressing the day-to-day risks and opportunities brought on by the global climate crisis. From this foundation, we create actionable, data-driven strategies to help businesses achieve net-zero emissions. Our focus is on sustainable growth, not just for the next quarter, but for the next decade, unlocking new opportunities through decarbonization. Portfolio Carbon Footprints (PCFs) and Climate Change Financials (CCFs) guide progress and ensure alignment with international standards, such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF). We also develop actionable measures to achieve these goals, including cost-benefit analyses via Marginal Abatement Cost Curves and the establishment of Internal Carbon Prices, ensuring that every step towards net-zero is both strategic and impactful. 

We specialize in calculating climate risks and opportunities across the entire value chain, conducting resilience analyses to identify investment potentials. Our approach is aligned with recognized standards such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), previously known as TCFD. We provide expert consultancy on integrating these insights into risk management frameworks, ensuring a long-term impact within organizations.  

We develop comprehensive climate transition plans that encompass goal-setting and the formulation of actionable measures. By leveraging recognized climate scenarios, we provide a forward-looking perspective that enables businesses to navigate their sustainability journey effectively. Our plans are seamlessly integrated into the governance framework and current strategies of organizations, ensuring alignment with international standards such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the UK Transition Plan Taskforce. This holistic approach ensures that companies are well-equipped to meet the challenges of the climate crisis while achieving their sustainability objectives. 

Making a positive impact for Deloitte goes beyond decarbonization. Together with our partners, we are dedicated to scaling nature-positive transformations and integrating strategic and financial risk into our clients’ planning processes. Starting with critical regulatory requirements, including the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the EU Due Diligence Regulation (EU DR) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), we go beyond compliance with nature-based solutions, integrity-driven markets, and pioneering efforts in ecosystem restoration. We are scaling up investment in solutions that place nature at the heart of economic transition to enable long-term resilience and restoration. Our methodology for capturing impacts, risks, and opportunities in biodiversity aligns with recognized standards such as the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and the Science Based Targets for Nature (SBTN). 

Innovation demands a broad vision. At Deloitte, we’ve established ourselves as thought leaders in sustainability transformation, leveraging our expertise in regulation, finance, and business innovation to pioneer "zerograding"—preparing businesses for a net-zero future. Through our unique insights, we empower clients to identify, implement, and scale sustainability solutions by partnering with the right suppliers, service providers, and innovators to build the business models of tomorrow. Our work spans decarbonizing supply chains, creating circular economy models, and transitioning to clean energy sources. We understand the complexities of the net-zero transition. By fostering new ecosystems, partnerships, and collaborative models, we help clients navigate risks, share insights, and attract investment to drive meaningful progress. One of the key global challenges is the availability of sustainable hydrogen, and Deloitte is taking a leadership role through our HyTIC Global project to help accelerate its adoption. 

Achieving a net-zero future requires substantial government guidance. Deloitte has a long-standing tradition of supporting regulatory innovation, particularly in sustainability and climate. By leveraging our deep understanding of regulatory trends and best practices, we help clients anticipate policy changes and adapt proactively, ensuring compliance while enhancing corporate reputation and driving long-term value creation. Our innovative approach utilizes cutting-edge technology, including our Policy Tracking Database, supported by a dedicated team that conducts continuous economic modeling. Additionally, we collaborate with leading experts such as Climate Policy Regulation (IPR) to publish a Quarterly Forecast Tracker (QFT), providing our clients with valuable insights and foresight into emerging regulatory trends.
