Introducing Decarbonization

Most companies today measure their greenhouse gas emissions. Far fewer know what to do next. Targets are set, reports are filed – and then the hard part begins: understanding which measures to implement, when, and at what cost. Enter, Decarbonization.

Decarbonization is Position Green's flagship product. It takes the high-quality data from our carbon accounting solution and turns it into a practical plan for reducing emissions over time.

Why is this important?

Collecting accurate data is only half the job. To actually cut emissions, you need to:

- See where reductions are realistically possible

- Compare different options and their impact

- Prioritize measures across sites, suppliers and business units

- Stay on track against short- and long-term targets

Position Green Decarbonization helps you do exactly that. It gives you a structured way to move from “this is our footprint” to “these are the concrete steps we’ll take in the next 1, 3 and 10 years”.

How does it work?

Decarbonization builds on your Position Green Carbon Accounting, ensuring a complete overview of all emissions - both activity-based and spend-based - are included in a final transition plan.

With Decarbonization you can:

- Identify key reduction levers

- Quickly see which sites, categories, suppliers or activities have the biggest reduction potential

- Model scenarios before you act

- Test different measures (for example switching fuels, changing suppliers, retrofitting buildings, or adjusting travel policies) and see their impact on emissions and timelines.

- Prioritize measures based on impact and effort

- Compare feasibility and emission reductions, so you can choose the measures that make the most sense for your business.

Behind the scenes, AI-assisted workflows help you structure measures, suggest options, and update your plan as new data comes in. The goal is not to replace your judgement, but to make it easier to make informed decisions quickly.

For sustainability teams with limited time and resources, this means less time building spreadsheets and more time driving real change in the organisation.

Built for busy or understaffed sustainability teams

Creating a transition plan has traditionally been a time-consuming, complex process involving many stakeholders and areas of expertise. That is why many organisations outsource this work, but this leaves companies with static reports and lack of ownership over the plan and consequently the work that is needed to realize the plan.

Position Green Decarbonization is built for the teams that want to go further but are lacking in time, resources, or expertise. It is designed for organisations that already have, or are building, a solid carbon accounting foundation – but need help turning insights into action.

Typical use cases include:

- Translating a high-level target into a concrete roadmap

- Comparing different technology or supplier choices before investing

- Coordinating decarbonisation work across multiple business units

- Showing management clear scenarios and trade-offs in a simple way

- Whether you’re a team of one or a larger sustainability function, Decarbonization helps you keep the full picture in one place instead of scattered across presentations and spreadsheets.
