Spotlight on Transition Planning
Transition Plans are the next step in the private sector climate journey.
Companies need to develop a plan for delivering on net zero targets and pledges.
High-quality transition plans enable management teams to develop, communicate and implement their climate strategies. A transition plan can:
- focus attention
- highlight key issues to be escalated to the board
- and instigate fundamental change in the business strategy.
The Chapter Zero Transition Planning Toolkit
Our Transition Planning Toolkit is designed to support you as a NED, and your board, in overseeing the development and delivery of a credible transition plan.
The four elements of the Transition Planning Toolkit
BriefingRead the ‘Briefing’ to explore transition planning within the context of the UK climate-reporting landscape and the key role of the NED in transition planning. |
ScorecardComplete the ‘Scorecard’ to assess how effectively your board is responding and contributing to a transition to a low-greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), climate-resilient economy, and to gain insight into your readiness for transition plan disclosures. |
Governance CompassUse the ‘Governance Compass’ in your board committee meetings to ensure that your committee’s work considers, aligns with and supports the company’s Strategic Ambition and transition plan. |
Barriers and EnablersExplore the ‘Barriers and Enablers’ element to consider and prepare for the barriers to developing and delivering on the company’s transition plan, and to understand enabling factors and processes that may enhance this delivery. |
