What it is

A climate transition plan sets out how an organisation will move towards its net zero targets. For real estate, that means the ambition for the portfolio, the actions across the assets, the governance that oversees delivery, and the metrics used to report progress.

UK transition plan requirements are still developing. We keep plans aligned with current UK guidance so they stay useful as expectations evolve.

When you need it

  • You are a property fund or landlord explaining to investors how your portfolio will reach its targets.
  • You are an operating company preparing to describe your transition in reporting.
  • You have targets in place and want a clear, owned plan of actions behind them.
  • You want your transition plan connected to your existing compliance and reporting work.

Our approach

  1. 1

    Review commitments

    we review your existing commitments, policies and disclosures.

  2. 2

    Confirm targets and pathway

    we confirm the targets and pathway the plan is built around, drawing on your net zero strategy.

  3. 3

    Set out actions

    we set out the actions across the portfolio or operations, in a practical sequence.

  4. 4

    Governance and accountability

    we define who owns each part of the plan and how it is overseen.

  5. 5

    Metrics and reporting

    we agree the metrics and how progress will be reported.

  6. 6

    Connect to delivery

    we connect the plan to ESOS, SECR, GHG reporting and EPC work so actions are delivered.
