Service Details

Carbon Footprint & Net Zero

Measure, reduce, and offset your carbon emissions with science-based methodologies that provide the data foundation for credible climate action, net-zero commitments, and climate-resilient positioning.

Carbon is a strategic business issue affecting cost of capital, market access, customer relationships, regulatory exposure, and physical asset values. SBTi has mobilized thousands toward reduction pathways. CSRD requires granular Scope 3 data. Investors and talent judge organizations by the credibility of their climate commitments.

Our Methodology

We follow the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard across all three scopes:

Scope 1: Direct emissions from owned sources — fuel combustion, process emissions, fugitive refrigerants.

Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling.

Scope 3: Value chain emissions across 15 categories — purchased goods, transportation, business travel, use of sold products, and more. Often the largest portion of an organization's footprint.

From Footprint to Net Zero

Science-Based Targets: We prepare SBTi submissions with the right target type, base year, and scope coverage — guiding organizations through validation.

Abatement Strategy: We develop a cost curve ranking every reduction initiative by cost per tonne of CO₂e avoided, so you prioritize actions delivering the biggest reductions for the lowest cost.

Transition Planning: Multi-year roadmaps with quick wins (efficiency, renewables), medium-term investments (process changes, fleet electrification), and long-term transformations (business model innovation, circular economy).

Ongoing Monitoring: Tracking systems, TCFD-aligned disclosures, and CDP preparation — making climate data part of your regular business rhythm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions & Answers

Still curious about how we partner with founders? Reach out and we will pick up the conversation.

We lead and participate in pre-seed and seed rounds. We are comfortable being among the first institutional checks and backing founders well before the metrics are obvious.

Tech-based or tech-enabled businesses across media and entertainment, with potential for global scale and a positive impact on the communities in which they operate. Above all, we back exceptional founders.

Send a short introduction and a brief overview of what you are building through the Work With Us link. We read every message and aim to respond thoughtfully.

We invest in emerging markets, the places where innovation is a necessity rather than a luxury. We look for companies with the ambition and architecture to scale globally from those roots.

We are hands-on partners. We bring regional and cultural proficiency alongside world-class industry expertise, and support founders on strategy, hiring, partnerships and follow-on fundraising.

Media and entertainment is our focus, but we define it broadly across film, television, music, gaming, publishing, social and sports, along with the technology and infrastructure that power them.
