Summary

  • 137 of 198 national governments now have net-zero targets, though coverage has dipped slightly due to the U.S. federal retreat; 67% of these targets are enshrined in law or formal policy. ― Net Zero Stocktake 2025

  • Of the 1,987 public companies tracked, 63% have net-zero targets, covering ~$36.6 trillion in annual revenue (≈70% of the revenue assessed across the Global Forbes 2000). ― Net Zero Stocktake 2025

  • 140 Companies are committed to net-zero targets, covering over 90% of global GDP ―UNFCCC

The Five-Step Roadmap to Corporate Net Zero Transformation

1

Measure & Baseline

The first step toward net-zero transformation is understanding your current emissions profile. Through a comprehensive carbon inventory aligned with the GHG Protocol, we help organizations map Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions—particularly value-chain emissions, which often account for 70–90% of total emissions.

By integrating digital carbon management platforms and AI-powered tools, companies can complete inventories more efficiently and cost-effectively, while identifying emission hotspots and potential risks across supply chains, regulations, and operating costs. This phase is not merely about data collection—it establishes a scientific, traceable foundation for target setting and strategy development.

Target Setting

Once a robust baseline is established, the next step is setting net-zero targets that truly mobilize the organization. Leveraging the internationally recognized SBTi framework, we support companies in defining both near-term targets (5–10 years) and long-term pathways toward 2050, validated through scientific assessment.

Near-term targets drive immediate emission reductions, while long-term targets ensure at least 90% deep decarbonization across the value chain. Drawing on Delta’s own experience in achieving 1.5°C-aligned SBTi approval, we help translate ambition into targets that are both credible and operationally achievable.

Plan & Pathway Design

Clear targets require clear pathways. We work with organizations to translate high-level net-zero ambitions into executable strategies, spanning energy efficiency, electrification, renewable energy adoption, supplier engagement, and low-carbon technology innovation.

Using Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC) analysis, we evaluate the cost-effectiveness of each decarbonization measure to identify the most impactful and economically viable portfolio. The result is a structured investment roadmap and implementation blueprint that turns abstract goals into actionable plans.

Implement & Abate

This is where strategy turns into measurable impact. Delta supports deep emission reductions across Scope 1 and 2 through energy management solutions, renewable energy strategies (including PPA assessments), and intelligent energy platforms.

At the same time, we enable value-chain decarbonization through supplier engagement and capability building—from training programs to technology deployment—helping suppliers strengthen their carbon management practices. Through cross-functional collaboration, technical implementation, and disciplined execution, projected reductions are converted into verified, real-world emission outcomes.

5

Tracking, Reporting & Management

Net-zero is a long-term journey that requires continuous tracking, governance, and optimization. After achieving approximately 90% deep decarbonization, high-quality carbon removals are required to address residual emissions.

We support organizations in establishing robust net-zero governance mechanisms, such as transition steering committees and Internal Carbon Pricing (ICP), ensuring carbon costs are embedded in operational and investment decisions. Through annual inventories, pathway updates, and external disclosures, we help companies remain aligned with evolving technologies, regulations, and market expectations—strengthening resilience and long-term competitiveness.
