Accelerating Net Zero Progress

When a global, technology company made ambitious public sustainability commitments, Bridge Partners helped turn those pledges into action. Together we built and executed a carbon removal strategy, program, and purchasing process to enable them to meet their carbon negative goal and OKRs.

Sustainability

The Situation

In 2020, our client publicly announced their commitment to mitigate their carbon emissions and to become pioneers in combating climate change. They needed a well-defined strategy to make an immediate, meaningful impact, and a partner to design, implement, and run their carbon removal program and purchasing process.

The Solution

Bridge Partners Sustainability experts developed an end-to-end decision framework and review process to manage a carbon removal request for proposals (RFP) on behalf of our client. This included partnering with various experts and technical advisors to review incoming proposals, data analysis, portfolio management, supplier negotiations, and contracting. Within six months, Bridge Partners helped our client launch and operationalize their carbon removal program, influencing the changing landscape of the carbon voluntary market. We helped our client review 150+ project proposals in the first year of the RFP, enabling them to exceed their carbon removal procurement goal in the first year of the program.

As the program grew year over year, Bridge Partners provided program management support to launch a program infrastructure to help the program scale effectively. This infrastructure allowed the program to be more organized and efficient, and deliver results more rapidly.

To support this scaled growth of the program and the growing size of the portfolio, Bridge Partners Sustainability experts built a database for centralized data analysis and reporting across the entire set of assets.
