Case study – Credible Net Zero Transition Strategy
Sculpt Partners advised a leading Asia Pacific telco firm augment its Net Zero strategy by structuring nature and engineering-based carbon offset solutions
Challenge
One of the earliest Asian companies to commit to Science Based Targets initiative protocol (SBTi) with a Net Zero commitment by 2045
Targeted 55% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 40% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030 (using 2021 baseline)
An internal review in 2023 indicated significant challenges in meeting commitments with a risk of overshooting 2030 targets by >30%
