About our climate journey

Frazer-Nash made a formal commitment to a net-zero carbon future in March 2021 when it signed an agreement with the SBTi, to reduce its business greenhouse gas emissions in line with climate science. As of 2023, we have had these targets formally approved.

This has taken us on an interesting journey as a business to look inwards i.e. are we walking the talk? There have also been a number of lessons we have learnt along the way which provide further credit and experience to the services we offer our customers.

We are now supporting our new parent company, KBR, with their climate-related strategy relating to both Net Zero and climate resilience. This has once again presented us with an opportunity to look inward at our own climate-related risks and opportunities.

Biggest climate achievement to date

Frazer-Nash is delighted to announce that its near and long-term science-based emissions reduction targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

Overall target:

To reach net-zero Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions across the value chain by 2040.

Near-term targets:

To reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 90% by 2030 from a 2022 base year*.
To reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 50% within the same timeframe*.

Long-term targets:

To maintain at least 90% absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions reductions from 2030 through 2040 from a 2022 base year.
To reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 90% by 2040 from a 2022 base year.

* The target boundary includes land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks.

Most difficult climate challenge faced

In general, we face the challenge of an organisation that is continually growing, with a multi-faceted business. There are many moving parts and it is important to us that we are managing growth with sustainability at the forefront.

Specifically, with SBTi, we had a number of engagement sessions to get clarification around choice of baseline year and alignment with financial reporting. We had a number of complex data requirements relating to acquisitions to manage and navigate through the target setting and approval process.

Best climate advice or tip for others

Looking forward is great. The first step though has to be taking stock and understanding where you are now. This is crucial to making robust, evidence-based decisions moving forward. To create an actionable plan to be proud of. Engaging with groups such as this, sharing best practice, and asking expert advice along the way will save a lot of effort and repeated work down the line!
