Module 2, “Material investment”, assesses actions to reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions from the company’s assets and operations. Comparing the company’s trend in past and projected scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity with its 1.5°C pathway provides a good measure of its transition progress. Comparing capital expenditure (CAPEX) allocated to low-carbon technologies against the total CAPEX provides an indication of future emissions reductions, while locked-in emissions from the company’s assets show the amount by which the company is likely to exceed its carbon budget.
