Business model

The company’s future business model(s) should enable it to decouple financial results from GHG emissions, in order to meet the constraints of a low-carbon transition while continuing to generate value. This can be done by developing new, low-carbon business models outside the core business of the company, while decarbonizing or terminating existing, high-carbon business models. This should lead to the company’s revenue being generated entirely from low-carbon products and services, according to the ACT definition of “low carbon” for a particular sector. 

This module aims to identify both: 

• the “big picture” view of the company’s low-carbon transition, by assessing its overall share of revenue from low-carbon products and services and the trend in share over time; 
• the detail of the specific changes it is making to its business: introducing/expanding new, low-carbon business models; and decarbonizing/terminating its existing, high-carbon business models.
