Decarbonization and Sustainability

In today’s business landscape, sustainability isn’t simply a buzzword – it’s an imperative. Pressure from consumers, investors, and regulators to reduce carbon footprints and adopt environmentally responsible practices drives the business need. Catalant’s Decarbonization and Sustainability offering helps companies develop a comprehensive strategy to meet sustainability and decarbonization goals. We work with companies to:

Mitigate compliance risk and achieve stated decarb goals

Enhance brand reputation and shareholder trust

Drive cost savings through optimized energy and resource utilization

Approach

A Comprehensive Plan to Achieve Decarbonization Targets

01

Assess carbon footprint

Perform a full analysis of the current carbon emissions across operations, supply chain, and products. This includes Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, providing a detailed baseline from which to plan reductions.

02

Identify opportunities

Identify decarbonization opportunities for emission reductions, such as energy efficiency, renewable integration, operational changes, and supply chain improvements. Prioritize based on cost, feasibility, and impact.

03

Ensure the plan aligns with market constraints

Ensure the decarbonization efforts align with existing and upcoming market constraints, regulations and reporting standards. Explore decarbonization levers which capitalize market incentives and consumer demand for sustainability.

04

Implement roadmaps

Deliver high-level, phased plans to approach each decarbonization initiative, with estimated timelines, costs, and resources requirements.

05

Develop a monitoring and reporting strategy

Develop a framework for tracking progress against goals and transparent reporting of carbon reductions to all stakeholders.

06

Receive implementation support

Get hands-on support to execute against the defined decarbonization strategy and roadmap.

Winning Together

Problem

A U.S. West Coast refiner was interested in developing site decarbonization strategies to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions.

Action

The Catalant team of Experts reviewed historic energy consumption and data as well as evaluated on-site processes and infrastructure. They conducted feasibility studies for decarbonization options across a range of technologies and on-site clean energy projects. 

Results

The team delivered a detailed roadmap of specific project recommendations, including estimates for CapEx and OpEx associated with each clean energy option, many of which were successfully implemented.

Global Manufacturer

Conducted a carbon footprint analysis for a global manufacturer and identified key areas for reducing energy consumption. Developed an implementation plan that led to 30% reduction in emissions within three years.

Large Food Producer

Created a decarbonization plan for a food producer targeting emissions across their supply chain. Recommended changes to logistics, material sourcing, and packaging, resulting in a detailed action plan for reducing emissions by 25% over five years.

Major Global Chemicals Company

Supported the reduction of Scope 1 and 2 emissions across operations to meet 33% GHG emission reduction goal by 2030. Created a detailed roadmap with cost analysis of the recommended changes to energy sources and asset configuration across the Company’s facilities.
