Net Zero in the Built Environment
9
Invest in External Climate Solutions
SBTi recommends, but does not require,
organizations to support climate mitigation beyond
their direct operations. This is often referred to as
"beyond value chain mitigation" and can include:
Financing innovation in carbon removal, energy
storage, or clean construction tech
Investing in local clean energy infrastructure or
grid decarbonization
Supporting regenerative land use, reforestation,
or community resilience projects
These actions don't count toward your core net
zero target, but they enhance impact, hedge risk,
and position your brand as a market leader.
Drive Internal Alignment
None of this happens without clear ownership. Net
zero strategies that scale require coordination
across sustainability, real estate, finance,
procurement, and legal. That means:
Assigning emissions ownership to teams and
roles
Integrating net zero into capital planning and
risk assessment
Linking executive compensation or internal KPIs
to climate performance
