Decarbonisation Strategy & Pathways
A decarbonisation plan holds when each step names an operational change, its cost and the meter or record that will show it worked.
Questions we help answer
- What is our real baseline, and how much of it is estimated?
- Which reductions pay for themselves, and which need investment?
- What target can we commit to without restating it next year?
- Where do our largest emissions sit: our sites, our fleet or our suppliers?
- How do we bring our main suppliers into the plan?
What we do
Activity-based baseline
Scope 1 and 2 from meter, fuel and refrigerant records, and the material Scope 3 categories from purchase, freight and product data.
Abatement options and costs
Reduction levers costed with operational data, from equipment and fleet changes to sourcing and product design.
Pathway and target modeling
Reduction pathways under growth scenarios, used to choose targets the business can meet.
Supplier engagement plan
Which suppliers to approach first, what data to request from them and how it enters the baseline.

How we approach it
- 01
Measure first
We build the baseline from activity data and show what share of it is measured and what share is estimated.
- 02
Cost the levers
Each reduction option is costed from your own energy, fuel, purchasing and capital data.
- 03
Sequence by return and feasibility
Actions are ordered by cost per unit reduced, payback and the operational disruption they cause.
- 04
Track against the baseline
Progress is reported from the source systems by site and source, so management sees which actions are working.

How an engagement with THEFOCUS starts
A first conversation is about your situation. If there is a fit, we propose a scoped diagnostic with a fixed deliverable before any larger commitment.
Discuss this with us01
A working conversation
Forty-five minutes with the person who would lead the work. We ask about the decision, the systems behind it and the deadline.
02
A scoped diagnostic
Read-only access, a fixed timeframe and a written finding: what the records show, what it costs and what to change first.
03
A plan you can act on
Changes, owners, measures and exclusions in writing. The same team then builds and measures, or hands over cleanly.
- One accountable team
- The people who diagnose also build the systems and measure the result.
- Partners chosen per problem
- Independent specializts join for the parts that need them, under one contract.
- Records before dashboards
- Orders, ledgers and logs are reconciled before any recommendation depends on them.
Questions executives ask
Can you get our target validated?
No. Validation is carried out only by the Science Based Targets initiative, and we make no claim of SBTi validation. We build the baseline and pathway that a submission would rely on.
Do your pathways rely on offsets?
Our pathways are built from reductions in your own operations and supply chain. We do not trade or sell offsets, and any decision on credits is yours, taken with specializt advisers.
