ESRS E1 Transition Plan Workbook
Targets, Levers, Trajectory, Locked-in Emissions
ESRS E1-1, E1-3 and E1-4 in one workbook: gross targets per scope, decarbonisation levers with CapEx, a 2050 trajectory, locked-in emissions and the ten transition plan elements.

ESRS E1-1 asks for a transition plan with ten specific elements, E1-4 for gross reduction targets per scope with 2030 and five-year steps, and E1-3 for the actions and money behind them. This workbook holds all three in registers and computes the figures the narrative needs.
- Targets (E1-4): base year and baseline per scope, reductions for 2030, 2035, 2040, 2045 and 2050 as a percentage of base with absolute values computed, the share of the combined target by scope, progress to date with a linear on-track test, and a comparison of the 2030 target with a 4.2% per year linear reference pathway (the SBTi absolute contraction floor) for the 1.5°C statement in 34(e).
- Levers and actions (E1-3, E1-4(f)): one row per action with lever, scope, timing, expected reduction at full effect, achieved reduction, CapEx, OpEx, financial statement line item and taxonomy-aligned CapEx. A lever table, the share of the 2030 reduction covered by identified levers, the unidentified remainder, and the taxonomy-aligned share of action CapEx.
- Trajectory: 2019 to 2050, target pathway interpolated between target years, reference pathway, action reductions phased in linearly from start to full-effect year, projected emissions with an optional growth rate, and the gap to target each year.
- Locked-in emissions (E1-1 16(d)): key assets with annual emissions and end of life, locked-in totals, and the comparison with the cumulative pathway to 2050.
- Transition plan sheet: paragraph 16 elements (a) to (j) and paragraph 17, each with the computed figure, a status and space for the narrative, plus headline figures.
Built from the ESRS text in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2772 and the SBTi's April 2026 note on the absolute contraction floor. Gross targets throughout: no removals, credits or avoided emissions netted. Pairs with the Bindler GHG Inventory (E1-6), CSRD Double Materiality and EU Taxonomy workbooks. Live formulas, no macros, no locked cells. Excel and Google Sheets.
What is inside
1 Excel workbook (.xlsx), sheets: Transition plan, Targets, Levers and actions, Trajectory, Locked-in emissions, Guide, Sources
Use it if
You report under CSRD and must disclose a climate transition plan with gross targets per scope.
Not for
You need SBTi validation or assurance; the 4.2% reference is the SBTi floor, not a company pathway.
Who you are buying from
Bindler is the trading name of Neil Sangwaiya, one person in Dubai. There is no company behind that name, no sales team and no reviews, and this page is not going to pretend otherwise. What there is instead is a record. Gumroad takes the payment and is the merchant of record, so your card details never reach Bindler. Where a figure could not be verified the cell is left blank rather than filled. When something was found wrong it was written down and dated in the change log with the old figure named. And there is a 30-day money back guarantee, no reason needed, handled by Gumroad.
What you actually download
One spreadsheet file. No macros and no VBA, because the .xlsx format cannot carry them. No locked cells and no hidden sheets. If your IT will not let you open a spreadsheet from outside, upload it to Google Sheets and it opens there. And yes, an AI built it: that is exactly why every figure is recalculated against a replica worked out by hand first, rather than trusted.
