Net Zero Roadmap & Transition Planning
auverde helps businesses develop practical net zero roadmaps, decarbonisation pathways and climate transition plans that turn emissions data into clear, costed action.
We support organisations with Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions accounting, GHG Protocol-aligned baselines, reduction opportunity modelling, target validation and board-ready transition planning aligned with AASB S2, ASRS, ISSB, TCFD and SBTi expectations.
Our work is designed for businesses that need more than a net zero target: a credible, sequenced emissions reduction plan that can support climate reporting, investor questions, procurement requirements and assurance review.

What is a net zero roadmap?
A net zero roadmap is a sequenced, evidence-based plan showing exactly how an organisation will cut Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions to net zero by a target year — covering baseline emissions, science-based targets, abatement levers, capital requirements and governance.
It's different from a net zero commitment, which is just the target year and headline goal, and different again from a climate transition plan, which is the roadmap rewritten to meet AASB S2's disclosure expectations for boards, investors and regulators.
Most organisations we meet have the commitment. Few have the roadmap. Fewer still have a transition plan that would hold up if a regulator, auditor or investor asked to see the working behind it.
What is a net zero roadmap?
- Net zero target — The public commitment. A target year and reduction goal. No detail on how you get there.
- Net zero roadmap — The internal plan. Baseline, targets, abatement levers, sequencing, and cost. Built for leadership and finance.
- Climate transition plan — The disclosure. Your roadmap, written to meet AASB S2 / ISSB / TCFD expectations. Built for regulators, auditors and investors.
Australian organisations are being asked to show their working
Mandatory climate reporting under AASB S2 is rolling out in stages, and voluntary commitments are getting more scrutiny even where disclosure isn't yet mandatory.
01
01
01
You've made a net zero commitment publicly, but there's no costed pathway behind it — and someone is starting to ask how you'll actually get there.
02
01
01
You're a Group 1, 2 or 3 entity under AASB S2 and need a transition plan that will stand up to assurance as liability protections narrow.

Investors, lenders or tender panels are now asking for a decarbonisation strategy, not just a sustainability report.

Your Scope 3 data is patchy, your targets feel arbitrary, and nobody could tell you which abatement lever to pull first.
How we build your roadmap
Six stages, run in sequence. Each one produces something your team can use immediately — not just an input to the next slide.
01 Baseline & materiality
Establish your Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions baseline against the GHG Protocol, and identify the climate risks and opportunities material to your business.
02 Target setting
Set science-based, sector-appropriate targets — SBTi-aligned where relevant — benchmarked against a 1.5°C and a higher-warming scenario, as AASB S2 scenario analysis requires.
03 Pathway & scenario modelling
Model abatement levers — energy, fleet, supply chain, materials — against cost and feasibility, and sequence what happens, when, and who owns it.
04 Transition plan & governance
Translate the pathway into an AASB S2-ready climate transition plan, with the governance oversight your board can sign off on with confidence.
05 Implementation support
Support the rollout — business cases, supplier engagement, energy procurement decisions, and the internal reporting cadence to keep it on track.
06 Monitoring & assurance readiness
Track progress against targets and keep documentation audit- and assurance-ready as ASRS assurance requirements move from limited to reasonable.
What's included
Every engagement is scoped to your organisation, but roadmaps are typically built from these eight components.

Beyond the roadmap - Part of a complete climate & ESG capability
A net zero roadmap works best alongside ongoing reporting and certification support — all under one advisory relationship.
Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Support
Once your roadmap sets the targets, SBTi validation makes them externally credible. Auverde prepares and manages your full SBTi submission — from target setting methodology through to approved validation.
Mandatory reporting
Your transition plan needs to be disclosed. We convert your roadmap into AASB S2 and ISSB-aligned climate disclosures — governance, scenario analysis, Scope 3, and risk — ready for your annual report and assurance review.
Certification
Gap assessment and end-to-end submission support for product and environmental certifications, including GECA, Declare and Cradle to Cradle — turning your decarbonisation commitments into verified credentials.
Frequently Asked Questions
A net zero roadmap is the internal strategy: your emissions baseline, targets, abatement levers and sequencing. A climate transition plan is that same roadmap written up in the format regulators and investors expect under AASB S2, ISSB and TCFD — with governance, financial context and disclosure-ready language. Auverde builds the roadmap first, then converts it into a transition plan you can publish.
Not strictly. AASB S2 requires disclosure of a transition plan only if your organisation has one. In practice, investors, lenders, procurement panels and ASIC now expect a credible transition plan as standard, and a three-year modified liability period applies to transition plan, scenario analysis and Scope 3 disclosures from 1 January 2025 — which is the window to get this right before scrutiny increases.
Most organisations move from emissions baseline to a board-ready roadmap in roughly 8 to 14 weeks. Timing depends mainly on how mature your Scope 3 data is and how many business units or sites are in scope. Auverde scopes this precisely before quoting a timeline.
No. Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validation is optional third-party verification of your targets. It strengthens external credibility and is useful for investor and customer-facing claims, but AASB S2 compliance does not require it. Auverde will recommend whether SBTi submission is worth pursuing for your organisation, and support the submission if so.
Yes. Scope 3 typically makes up 70 to 90 percent of a company's footprint, and almost no organisation starts with complete data. Auverde builds an initial spend-based estimate to get the roadmap moving, then sequences supplier engagement to shift your highest-impact categories to activity-based data over time.
AASB S2 and the broader ASRS, ISSB (IFRS S1 and S2), TCFD, the GHG Protocol for emissions accounting, and SBTi where science-based target validation is pursued. For built environment clients, roadmaps are also aligned to Green Star and NABERS pathways.
