Flow diagram showing how a carbon reduction plan is developed from Net Zero ambition. Inputs include energy audits and surveys such as EPCs, ESOS audits, decarbonisation audits, TM44 and capacity optimisation, combined with existing projects and energy data. These feed into a carbon reduction strategy covering scope definition, baseline emissions, target setting and progress tracking, resulting in outputs such as capacity optimisation, project management, vendor selection, behaviour change training and ongoing performance review.

Infographic titled ‘5 Common Net Zero Myths Explained’ showing five overlapping coloured circles. Each circle contains a myth and explanation: Myth 1 states net zero does not mean zero emissions but reducing emissions as far as possible and offsetting residuals. Myth 2 explains net zero is not only about carbon, covering multiple greenhouse gases. Myth 3 counters that net zero is not too expensive, noting inaction costs more and the transition can deliver savings and resilience. Myth 4 states net zero is not only for big corporations, highlighting the role of small businesses. Myth 5 explains net zero is not a distant goal, emphasising that meaningful progress begins with early action.
