ExecutESG Consolidated Definition

Transition Plan

A climate transition plan is an aspect of corporate strategy that outlines how a company intends to transition its business model, assets, and operations to align with a low-carbon, net-zero economy (consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C).

Elements of a Transition Plan (ESRS E1-1):

  • Commitment to decarbonization targets.
  • Capital expenditure (CapEx) allocated to green technology.
  • Actions to mitigate risks of stranded high-carbon assets.

SME Relevance & B2B Inbound Action:

Having a credible transition plan is highly rewarded during B2B tenders and bank credit assessments. Draft and monitor your transition milestones using the Aura Act module.
