The Playbook structures every decarbonization effort into a clear hierarchy so organizations can locate themselves and plan their next investments.
The highest level of classification: Offsets, Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3. Designed to align with how your organization already reports emissions.
A subtier beneath each scope. For example, Scope 2 reductions span Energy Efficiency, Electrification, Energy Supply, and Energy Optimization.
Granular project types — from offsite contracting to demand response. Not every initiative is required; context determines priority.

Advanced cross-system integration, third-party performance financing, and emerging technology deployment.
Cutting-edge implementations with bundled financing, real-time reporting, and market-leading practices.
