For internal management purposes, an organization may want to know how it is doing on its migration to a business model that will position it to thrive in a decarbonized economy.  The organization may also need to be ready for questions from customers, bankers or investors about its greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories, reduction efforts and its commitment to science-based, net-zero GHG targets. The Net-Zero Assessment Tool is a generic, SME-friendly self-assessment tool. It uses only seven climate-related questions from the Basic Sustainability Assessment Tool – on governance, energy, GHGs and procurement – to score the organization's commitment to, and progress toward, science-based net-zero targets, and its contributions to related SDGs.  It also suggests over two dozen actions that would reduce Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions. The free, open-source Excel version of the tool is downloadable here.
