From climate targets to measurable outcomes

Setting an emission reduction target is only the beginning. Effective decarbonization requires translating targets into initiatives, projects, KPIs, responsibilities, and investment decisions.

We help organizations monitor progress against climate targets and evaluate the effectiveness of decarbonization initiatives. Carbon Decision Manager™ can connect emissions data with costs, operational processes, and planned initiatives, enabling scenario comparisons and prioritization based on impact and cost-effectiveness.

Who is it for?

This service is designed for organizations that:

• have emission reduction targets but lack a consistent monitoring framework;
• manage multiple decarbonization initiatives and need to prioritize actions;
• want to compare financial and emissions impacts of alternative options;
• need to report progress to management or stakeholders;
• want to link decarbonization programs with project portfolios and investment planning;
• need to update roadmaps based on actual results.

Scope of support

• structuring targets, milestones, and initiatives;
• defining baselines and progress measurement methods;
• designing emissions and operational KPIs;
• linking initiatives with owners, timelines, and budgets;
• assessing costs and expected emission reductions;
• comparing scenarios and alternative actions;
• prioritizing initiatives based on feasibility, cost, and tCO₂e reduction potential;
• monitoring implementation progress and outcomes;
• developing management dashboards;
• recommending roadmap updates.

Project outcomes

The organization receives:

• a structured portfolio of decarbonization initiatives;
• clear ownership and implementation timelines;
• KPIs and monitoring rules;
• analysis of planned and achieved emission reductions;
• cost-effectiveness assessment of selected initiatives;
• support for comparing investment and operational options;
• progress monitoring dashboards;
• insights supporting updates to strategies, roadmaps, and transition plans.

The Synergist approach

We do not treat emissions as detached from business reality. We focus on identifying initiatives that both reduce emissions and improve operational efficiency. The model can analyze emissions and costs by facility, process, product, or other dimensions and support simulations of operational, technological, and logistics changes.

Experience

Our experience includes identifying decarbonization opportunities, developing roadmaps, defining reduction targets, and building monitoring frameworks for implementation progress.
