      Net zero, purpose at pace.

      Decarbonisation is the defining challenge of our time with every sector under pressure to achieve net zero before 2050.

      You’ve made the commitment to reduce emissions and now employees, investors, regulators and customers are waiting for you to act.

      It’s time to scale up and move forward – with purpose at pace.

      Maybe you’re wondering where to start, or how to get unstuck. Where should you focus? What technology, capital and capabilities do you need? Most importantly, how do you bring everyone on the journey?



      The cost of delay

      • A refugee crisis – up to 200 million people displaced by 2050
      • $1.19 trillion by 2050 – is the estimated cost to Australia if the Paris Accord target is not met
      • 1 in 25 houses will be uninsurable – climate change is expected to reduce the value of the Australian property market by around $600 billion


      Complex journey. Clear destination.

      How we help at three key stages of decarbonisation.

      • Readiness reviews and gap analysis (for example, TCFD)
      • GHG inventory/carbon footprints
      • Maturity assessments and industry benchmarking
      • Emissions, operational and business forecasts
      • Supply chain mapping

      • Scenario analysis and scenario planning workshops
      • Climate risks and opportunities integration

      We can help you navigate the carbon market and the primary carbon mechanisms of:

      • Carbon taxes – a tax levied on carbon emissions.
      • Emissions trading schemes – these put a cap on the carbon emitted by business and create a market and price for carbon allowances.
      • Crediting mechanisms – these utilise carbon credits which are intended to reduce carbon emissions and which can be traded.
      • Internal carbon pricing – a value that companies voluntarily set for themselves, in order to internalise the economic cost of their greenhouse gas emissions.

      Let us help you navigate changes to organisational design, change management, talent management, HR function and workforce optimisation.

      We create opportunities to design new and better strategies, develop new products, expand into new markets, rethink business models and transform the performance of organisations.

      We provide guidance and up-to-date information on climate-related regulations, policies and incentives, as well as insight into upcoming regulations at both a national and supranational level.

      We support your decarbonisation efforts through your renewable energy strategy and procurement.

      Let us help you unravel the complexity of PPA opportunities, providing end-to-end advisory services from strategy to full implementation and delivering innovative solutions.

      Whether government, financial services or corporate – we can help you integrate nature as an opportunity into policy, strategy, governance, investment, risk management and decarbonisation decision-making – unlocking positive transformational opportunities.

      We recognise that climate change is a global issue affecting all people, communities and organisations.

      Though KPMG Human Rights & Social – Banarra, we work with organisations to drive a successful energy transition - one that is inclusive and equitable, engaging all stakeholders and minimising harm to people.
