The Science Based Targets initiative helps companies set greenhouse gas reduction goals aligned with climate science.
It ensures companies contribute to limiting global temperature rise and align with agreements like the Paris Agreement.
It provides a structured approach to commit, calculate emissions, and report progress toward sustainable operations.
Define the emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3) included, align your targets with climate science to limit global warming, and ensure targets are realistic and supported by leadership. This structured approach simplifies the target-setting process and lays a strong foundation for climate goals.
Prepare all necessary documentation and data, submit your targets and supporting information through the SBTi platform, and confirm submission while addressing any feedback or additional requests. The seamless submission process ensures smooth communication with the SBTi platform.
Develop and implement a plan to meet your targets, track progress regularly, and make adjustments as needed. Ensure that your targets remain aligned with climate goals by reporting annually and updating your progress to maintain momentum.
Complete support for setting, implementing, and tracking SBTi-aligned targets, ensuring seamless and measurable results.
Tailored solutions to fit your business operations, industry, and climate goals without disrupting workflows.
Specialized in addressing Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, delivering accurate and impactful carbon reduction strategies.
SBTi’s approach is specifically grounded in the latest climate science to ensure targets are consistent with the Paris Agreement's goal. Unlike other frameworks, SBTi provides a rigorous, science-based methodology and requires third-party validation.
Yes, scope 3 emissions can be included in SBTi targets. Addressing these emissions is crucial for organizations aiming to reduce their overall impact, as they often make up a significant portion of total emissions.
SBTi recommends reviewing targets at least every 5 years to ensure alignment with the latest climate science and developments.
Common challenges in SBT validation include accurate data collection, especially for scope 3 emissions, and setting feasible yet ambitious reduction targets.
Yes, purchasing carbon credits can complement SBTi targets, but SBTi primarily focuses on direct emissions reductions within an organization’s operations.
Once you purchase carbon credits, you offset a portion of your emissions by supporting verified projects aimed at reducing or capturing carbon.
Yes, there are various types of carbon credits, including those that support reforestation, renewable energy, and energy efficiency projects.
