Science-based targets show companies how much and how quickly businesses need to reduce their GHG emissions to prevent the worst impacts of climate change, leading them on a clear path towards decarbonization. By guiding companies in science-based target setting, SBTi enables them to tackle climate change while seizing the benefits and boosting their competitiveness in the transition to a net-zero economy.
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi):
- Defines and promotes best practices in emissions reductions and net-zero targets in line with climate science.
- Provides target setting methods and guidance to companies to set science-based targets in line with the latest climate science.
- Includes a team of experts to provide companies with independent assessment and validation of targets.
SBTi launched its groundbreaking Net-Zero Standard in October 2021, providing companies with the guidance and tools needed to set science-based net-zero targets.
